News

  • Records first catch of season

    Johnson played five of the Bears' 53 snaps on offense and finished with a six-yard reception on his lone target in Sunday's 38-13 loss to the 49ers.

    Analysis: Johnson's reception -- his first of the season -- came on the Bears' final drive of the game, when interim head coach Thomas had already subbed out most of Chicago's key players amid the blowout. The 27-year-old remains buried on the depth chart at receiver and will likely play most of his snaps on special teams while Chicago has DJ Moore, Keenan Allen and Rome Odunze available.

  • Signs to active roster

    Chicago signed Johnson from its practice squad to the 53-man roster Wednesday, Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Johnson hasn't suited up with the main unit since Week 3 at Indianapolis, but he's now getting a full-time promotion from the practice squad ahead of Week 12. It would probably take an injury to one of DJ Moore, Keenan Allen or Rome Odunze for another Bears wideout to garner much fantasy relevance this season.

  • Reverts to practice squad

    Johnson reverted to Chicago's practice squad Monday.

    Analysis: In his second game this season, Johnson managed to record an assisted tackle while covering a kickoff and also saw two snaps on offense. He could be elevated again next week if Keenan Allen (heel) remains sidelined.

  • Elevated for second time

    The Bears elevated Johnson from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Scott Bair of Marquee Sports Network reports.

    Analysis: Johnson was elevated for the Bears' Week 2 loss to the Texans, during which he played seven snaps (one on offense, six on special teams). If he's active for Sunday's game against the Colts, Johnson will likely be limited primarily to special teams even with veteran wide receiver Keenan Allen (heel) ruled out for a second straight week.

  • Heads back to practice squad

    Johnson reverted to Chicago's practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

    Analysis: Johnson played just one offensive snap during Sunday's 19-13 loss at Houston. His prospects of suiting up again in Week 3 might hinge on whether or not Keenan Allen (heel) is available.

  • Elevated from practice squad

    The Bears elevated Johnson from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday.

    Analysis: Both Keenan Allen (heel) and Rome Odunze (knee) are listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Texans. If one or both of them are unable to suit up for that contest, then Johnson could be active for Week 2 and serve in a depth role at wide receiver.

  • Signs with Bears' practice squad

    Chicago signed Johnson to the practice squad Wednesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Johnson started the preseason strong with three catches for 53 yards and two touchdowns in the Hall of Fame Game against the Texans on Aug. 1. He didn't end up playing in the following three preseason contests, and the 2020 fifth-round pick was unable to crack the Bears' 53-man roster. Johnson could get a promotion to the active roster if any of Chicago's wide receiver corps miss time.

  • Let go by Chicago

    Johnson was released by the Bears on Tuesday.

    Analysis: Johnson was unable to make the Bears' 53-man roster ahead of the 2024 campaign, and the 26-year-old wideout will look to catch on with another team this season. Despite flashing in some of his preseason opportunities, Johnson wasn't able to do enough to secure a roster spot in the Chicago's crowded receiver corps headlined by DJ Moore, Keenan Allen and Rome Odunze.

  • Leads Bears' air attack in HOF Game

    Johnson brought in three of six targets for 56 yards and two touchdowns in the Bears' 21-17 preseason win over the Texans on Thursday.

    Analysis: Johnson co-led the Bears in receptions and set the pace in both receiving yards and targets for the team on the night, recording 20- and nine-yard touchdown grabs from Brett Rypien in the second and third quarter, respectively, before the game was called early due to weather. Johnson's first score atoned for a drop on a catchable pass from Rypien earlier in the drive, and the 2020 fifth-round pick of the Jaguars ended up making a solid opening case for a reserve receiver role. Johnson is likely…read more

  • Signed to Chicago's roster

    The Bears signed Johnson off their practice squad Wednesday.

    Analysis: Johnson was elevated from the practice squad for both of Chicago's last two games and caught a pass for an 11-yard gain in the Week 17 win over the Falcons. The wideout will presumably suit up for Sunday's season finale versus the Packers, but he may be in store for only a modest role on offense.

    More news and analysis available atNFL.com
  • Reverts to practice squad

    The Bears reverted Johnson to the practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

    Analysis: Johnson had his first reception of the season in Sunday's win over the Falcons, hauling in an 11-yard pass from Justin Fields in the third quarter. It was the third time the Bears elevated Johnson, meaning the team would have to sign him to the active roster if they need him for Week 18 against the Packers.

  • Joins active roster

    The Bears elevated Johnson to their active roster Saturday.

    Analysis: Johnson has been elevated for the second consecutive week and he'll add some extra depth to a Chicago wide receiver room that will be without Darnell Mooney (concussion) on Sunday. Chicago has now used all three of Johnson's elevations, which means the team must sign him to its 53-man roster if he's needed in Week 18.

  • Reverts to practice squad

    Johnson reverted to Chicago's practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

    Analysis: Johnson played 13 of 70 offensive snaps in Chicago's 27-16 win over the Cardinals on Monday, but he didn't record any stats. The Bears have elevated Johnson for two games this season, so the team can do so once more before having to make a decision about signing him to the 53-man roster.

  • Elevated ahead of Week 16 game

    The Bears elevated Johnson from the practice squad Saturday ahead of Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Johnson has yet to appear in a game this season and hasn't played in the NFL since 2021 with the Giants. The 26-year-old veteran is merely insurance and depth at the wideout spot for Chicago.

  • Reverts to practice squad

    Johnson reverted to Chicago's practice squad Monday.

    Analysis: Johnson was activated ahead of Sunday's win over the Lions but ended up being inactive. The 26-year-old will now wait for another opportunity to be called up to play.

  • Won't suit up Week 14

    Johnson (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's contest against Detroit.

    Analysis: Johnson was elevated from the practice squad for the first time this season Saturday as a result of Tyler Scott (hamstring) and Velus Jones (illness) being questionable for Sunday. Both Scott and Jones will suit up against the Lions, leaving Johnson still in search of his first game action since 2021.

    More news and analysis available atNFL.com
  • Called up for first time

    The Bears elevated Johnson to the active roster Saturday, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Johnson joined the Bears' practice squad Oct. 10 after being cut by the Giants in late August ahead of the 53-man roster deadline. The elevation comes with Chicago's wide receiver corps significantly banged up ahead of Sunday's NFC North clash against the Lions. Tyler Scott (hamstring) and Velus Jones (illness) are both questionable while Equanimeous St. Brown has been ruled out for Week 14 with a pectoral injury.

  • Signed to Chicago's practice squad

    The Bears signed Johnson to their practice squad Tuesday.

    Analysis: In a corresponding move, the Bears cut kicker John Parker Romo from the practice squad to make room. Johnson is 26 years old and has appeared in 26 career games, last seeing regular-season action in 12 games for the Giants in 2021. He has a career 29-377-2 line on 52 targets. Johnson will provide organizational depth.

  • Won't make team

    Johnson was waived by the Giants on Sunday, Dan Salomone of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: Johnson missed time during training camp with a knee injury, which likely didn't help the Texas product's chances. The 25-year-old missed the 2022 campaign due to a torn Achilles, but he appeared in 12 contests with the team in 2021. He'll now seek a new opportunity elsewhere.

  • Returns to practice

    Johnson (knee) will practice Monday, Bob Brookover of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.

    Analysis: Johnson has been out of action since suffering a knee injury during a preseason loss to the Lions on Aug. 11. He'll now work to make the best of his remaining time to make the team's final 53-man roster, although the 25-year-old is likely facing an uphill battle to do so.

  • Ruled out Friday

    Johnson (knee) will be inactive for Friday's game against the Panthers, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Johnson injured his knee during last week's 21-16 loss to Detroit and will sit out New York's second preseason tilt. The 25-year-old will now look to get healthy ahead of the team's preseason finale versus the Jets next Saturday.

    More news and analysis available atNFL.com
  • Will not return Friday

    Johnson has been declared out for the remainder of Friday's preseason game in Detroit due to a knee injury, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

    Analysis: According to Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record, Johnson was able to take a knee next to his wide receiver coach and did not appear to be in much distress, so there is reason for optimism going forward. He failed to bring in his only target prior to leaving the game. The 25-year-old is competing against a crowded receiver room for a depth role with the team this season.

  • Returns from injury

    Johnson (Achilles) participated in the Giants' mandatory minicamp Tuesday, Dan Salomone of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: Johnson tore his Achilles last August, causing him to miss all of last season but is now back on the field. The 2019 fifth-round pick caught 11 passes for 105 yards for the Giants in 2021 and will now compete for a depth slot in what's become a crowded receiver room heading into the coming campaign

  • Starts running again

    Johnson (Achilles) said Tuesday that he's resumed running on turf and expects to be ready to go for the start of the 2023 season, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports.

    Analysis: Johnson had been an early standout during training camp this past summer and might have pushed for a top-three role in the Giants' wideout corps before sustaining a season-ending torn right Achilles' tendon in an Aug. 24 practice, getting surgery shortly thereafter. The wideout may not be able to achieve full medical clearance in advance of OTAs this spring, but if he continues to make positive progress in the months to come, he could be close to 100 percent for the start of 2023 training camp.

  • Goes on IR

    The Giants placed Johnson (Achilles) on injured reserve Wednesday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: After the Giants claimed Johnson off waivers last September, he proceeded to make 12 appearances as a part of an injury-riddled receiving corps, hauling in 11 of 21 passes for 105 yards and no touchdowns on 209 offensive snaps. According to Connor Hughes of SNY.tv, Johnson has been impressive in training camp, which was apparent through two preseason games, where he produced a combined 10-123-0 receiving line on 13 targets. But after Johnson was carted off the practice field Wednesday, he was…read more

  • Diagnosed with torn Achilles

    The Giants announced that Johnson suffered a torn Achilles' tendon during Wednesday's practice.

    Analysis: Per Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com, Johnson was vying for a possible key role at wideout after a strong training camp, which included catching 10 passes for 123 yards across two preseason games. However, the 2020 fifth-round pick's season is now likely over before it started, and he could be in danger of missing the start of the 2023 campaign as well.

  • Injures leg in practice

    Johnson suffered an apparent lower-body injury during Wednesday's practice, Connor Hughes of SNY.tv reports.

    Analysis: Johnson reportedly has impressed throughout training camp and caught 10 passes for 123 yards in two preseason games. Initial reports suggest the injury may be serious, but if not, Johnson could have role off the bench Week 1.

  • Gets run with starters

    Johnson caught three of four targets for 41 yards in Sunday's 25-22 preseason win over the Bengals.

    Analysis: Johnson had two catches for 33 yards over the first three drives while Daniel Jones was in the game, then stayed in for some more action with backup quarterback Tyrod Taylor. The 24-year-old wide receiver's usage in this one was encouraging, and this outing coupled with his 82-yard performance in the Giants' preseason opener have Johnson firmly in contention to make Big Blue's roster. Johnson will have one more opportunity to add to his successful preseason when the Giants take on the Jets next…read more

  • Excels in exhibition opener

    Johnson reeled in seven of eight targets for 82 yards in Thursday's 23-21 preseason victory over New England.

    Analysis: Johnson led New York pass catchers in targets, receptions and yards in the opening game of the preseason slate. The third-year pro caught five passes for 51 yards in Week 3 last season but had only six receptions the rest of the campaign. He's on the bubble for a spot on the 53-man roster, so Thursday's performance could prove to be especially important for his chances of making the squad.

  • Playing Sunday

    Johnson (hamstring) is active for Sunday's game against Washington, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

    Analysis: With Kadarius Toney (shoulder) and John Ross (knee) ruled out ahead of the contest and all of Sterling Shepard (Achilles), C.J. Board (knee) and Dante Pettis (shoulder) on injured reserve, Johnson could find himself in a regular role in three-receiver sets alongside Kenny Golladay and Darius Slayton for the season finale. That said, the Giants' passing attack has been anemic since Daniel Jones suffered a season-ending neck injury Week 12, so Johnson will be tough to trust as a DFS option while…read more

  • Questionable for Week 18

    Johnson (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's contest against Washington, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

    Analysis: Johnson returned to practice in a limited fashion Thursday after being a non-participant to start the week. He may be in line for an increased workload if he's able to suit up for the first time since Week 15, as the Giants will be shorthanded at wide receiver with Kadarius Toney (shoulder) and John Ross (knee) both out.

  • Listed as non-participant

    Johnson (hamstring) was listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's practice estimation, Zack Rosenblatt of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.

    Analysis: Johnson has missed the last two games with a hamstring injury, and his status on Wednesday's injury report isn't encouraging for his Week 18 status. If he hopes to have a chance to play in Sunday's regular-season finale against Washington, he'll likely need to practice in some capacity Thursday or Friday.

  • Out for Sunday

    Johnson (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bears, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

    Analysis: Johnson will be sidelined for the second straight game by a hamstring injury. The Giants are significantly short-handed at wide receiver, with Kenny Golladay being the only fully healthy wideout currently on the active roster.

  • Not at practice Wednesday

    Johnson (hamstring) didn't participate in Wednesday's practice, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

    Analysis: Johnson picked up a hamstring injury late last week and was ultimately ruled out for the Giants' divisional showdown with the Eagles. Now, the 2020 fifth-round pick starts off Week 17 prep as a non-participant due to the same injury, putting his status for Sunday's matchup with the Bears in serious jeopardy.

    Johnson (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Eagles, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

    Analysis: Johnson was absent from the injury report until Friday, so he may have picked up the hamstring injury at practice. He caught one pass for 16 yards last week, which was his first reception since Week 8.

    Johnson (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's contest against the Chargers, Zack Rosenblatt of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.

    Analysis: With Sterling Shepard (quadriceps) and Kenny Golladay (ribs) both expected to be available, Johnson finds himself as the odd man out. On the season, the 2016 second-round pick has 10 receptions for 89 yards, but he hasn't caught a pass since Week 8.

  • One catch in Week 7 win

    Johnson caught one of two targets for seven yards in Sunday's 25-3 win over Carolina.

    Analysis: Even with New York's receiving corps battling injuries, Johnson still finished eighth on the team in receiving yards. He was on the field for 21 of the Giants' 72 offensive snaps, so Johnson was actually given ample opportunities to make his mark on this game but simply failed to do so.

  • Catches two passes

    Johnson caught two of five targets for 21 yards Sunday against the Rams.

    Analysis: Injuries to Darius Slayton, Kadarius Toney and Kenny Golladay got Johnson some looks, but he's still a tertiary option in the offense and will barely see the field if/when the starters get healthy.

  • Catchless in loss

    Johnson failed to catch any of his three targets in Sunday's 44-20 loss to the Cowboys.

    Analysis: Johnson played 44 percent of the Giants' offensive snaps, but he was unable to make an impact during his time on the field. With fellow wideout Kenny Golladay sidelined with a knee injury, the 24-year-old may find himself in a more prominent role Week 6 against the Rams, especially if Sterling Shepard (hamstring) and Darius Slayton (hamstring) are also sidelined for a third game in a row.

  • Could start this week

    Johnson could have a significant role this Sunday with both Sterling Shepard (hamstring) and Darius Slayton (hamstring) ruled out to face the Saints, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: A few weeks back, Johnson was claimed off waivers by a Giants team with three experienced starters plus a rookie first-round pick at his position. Following a pair of healthy scratches, Johnson was active for Week 3 as the No. 5 receiver, ultimately catching five of seven targets for 51 yards after Shepard and Slayton left early. Johnson even led the team's wideouts with an 84.8-percent snap share in the second half, as No. 1 receiver Kenny Golladay was battling through a hip injury. Of course,…read more

  • Good impact Sunday

    Johnson caught five of seven targets for 51 yards in Sunday's 17-14 loss to the Falcons.

    Analysis: Johnson saw his involvement increase after starting wideouts Darius Slayton and Sterling Shepard both suffered hamstring injuries. Their absences enabled Johnson to tie for New York's team lead in targets and trail only Saquon Barkley in receptions. Should Slayton and Shepard be sidelined going forward, Johnson, a second-year pro, could see his value benefit from significant playing time opposite fellow big-bodied wideout Kenny Golladay, with rookie first-round playmaker Kadarius Toney a prime…read more

  • Sidelined Thursday

    Johnson (coach's decision) is inactive for Thursday's game at Washington, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

    Analysis: Johnson was a roster casualty of the Jaguars on cut-down day, but he found a new home in New York one day later. Still, he's only been with the team a little more than two weeks, and the Giants' receiving corps is healthy, so he'll remain in street clothes for a second straight game.

  • Lands with G-Men

    The Giants claimed Johnson off waivers from the Jaguars on Wednesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Jacksonville's decision to cut Johnson on Tuesday was a mild surprise after he earned some playing time late in his rookie season. The 2020 fifth-round pick is one of the league's tallest wideouts at 6-foot-6, providing some size for a receiver corps that doesn't have much of it beyond Kenny Golladay. Even so, Johnson will need to impress on the practice field to keep his roster spot, hoping to work his way up the depth chart eventually. The Giants have struggled to keep their wide receivers…read more

  • Let go by Jaguars

    Johnson has been waived by the Jaguars.

    Analysis: The move comes as something of a surprise, and it remains to be seen if Johnson will be claimed by another team. Following the Jaguars' initial cuts, DJ Chark (finger), Marvin Jones (shoulder) and Laviska Shenault are entrenched as Jacksonville's top three wideouts, and it looks like the team plans to shuffle the deck depth-wise beyond that trio.

  • Quiet in preseason finale

    Johnson didn't catch either of his two targets during Sunday's preseason win over the Cowboys.

    Analysis: Johnson encouragingly saw some action with Trevor Lawrence and the first-team offense Sunday, though he also played with the third-stringers during the second half with Jake Luton at quarterback. The 23-year-old receiver seemingly has been unable to separate himself throughout camp while competing for the No. 4 spot on the depth chart, while Marvin Jones (shoulder) and Laviska Shenault clearly entrenched themselves as Jacksonville's top available wideouts with DJ Chark (finger) sitting out.…read more

  • Secures touchdown Monday

    Johnson caught his lone target for a 24-yard touchdown during Monday's preseason game against the Saints.

    Analysis: Johnson played 23 offensive snaps and saw his only production of the contest come late in the fourth quarter with C.J. Beathard helming the offense. Johnson hasn't produced much through two preseason games, as he has now caught two of three targets for 24 yards and a touchdown while playing 71 offensive snaps. With DJ Chark (finger) still sidelined after undergoing surgery in early August, it's a bit concerning Johnson isn't working with either the first- or second-team offense in preseason…read more

  • One catch Saturday

    Johnson caught one of two targets for zero yards during Saturday's preseason game against the Browns.

    Analysis: Johnson played 48 offensive snaps to lead Jacksonville's wideouts, but he didn't have much involvement in the offense during the preseason opener. The 23-year-old is attempting to secure the No. 4 spot on the depth chart and is dealing with a revamped group of wide receivers. Josh Hammond and Tavon Austin were the only depth receivers for the Jaguars to eclipse 20 receiving yards in the contest.

  • Meshing with Lawrence

    Johnson played well during Saturday's scrimmage and was a favorite target of quarterback Trevor Lawrence, Ashlyn Sullivan of the Jaguars' official site reports

    Analysis: Johnson caught a pair of touchdowns and also had three straight receptions on another drive as he's clearly established an early rapport with the rookie signal-caller. The second-year wideout opened camp No. 4 on the depth chart, but an opportunity may have opened up after DJ Chark recently underwent surgery to address a hairline fracture in his finger. Chark is expected to be available for the season opener Sept. 12 in Houston, but it still should provide Johnson more chances to work with the…read more

  • Drops on depth chart

    Johnson (hamstring) is poised to enter camp as Jacksonville's No. 4 wideout after the signing of Marvin Jones, John Shipley of SI.com reports.

    Analysis: The 23-year-old came on strong during the second half of 2020 before the hamstring injury sidelined him for the final two weeks of the season, but he won't begin camp in line for a significant role. Johnson, a 2020 fifth-round pick, flashed his potential with eight catches for 162 yards and one touchdown between Weeks 12 and 13 last year, but he wasn't a likely bet to open 2021 as the team's No. 3 wide receiver. He still figures to be involved in the offense, but Jones, DJ Chark and Laviska…read more

    Johnson (hamstring) was placed on injured reserve Saturday.

    Analysis: Johnson had previously been ruled out for the season finale, but he'll officially shift to IR as the Jaguars signed Terry Godwin to the active roster in a corresponding transaction.

  • Not suiting up in finale

    Jaguars head coach Doug Marrone ruled Johnson (hamstring) out for Sunday's game against the Colts, John Reid of The Florida Times-Union reports.

    Analysis: The hamstring injury will cost Johnson the final two games of his rookie season, but before getting hurt, the 23-year-old likely did enough to lock up a regular spot in Jacksonville's receiver rotation entering 2021. Over his 14 appearances this season, Johnson hauled in 18 of 31 targets for 272 yards and two touchdowns.

  • Ruled out for Sunday

    Johnson (hamstring) won't play Week 16 against Chicago, John Reid of The Florida Times-Union reports.

    Analysis: Johnson was sidelined for a third straight practice Friday, eliminating his chance of suiting up Sunday. The rookie receiver has tailed off since tallying four catches for 96 yards and a touchdown Week 12 versus Cleveland, but his absence this weekend will affect the Jaguars' depth at wideout. Chris Conley should benefit the most from Johnson's absence, as he now has a clearer path to seeing work when one of Jacksonville's top three receivers -- DJ Chark, Laviska Shenault and Keelan Cole --…read more

  • Doesn't practice Thursday

    Johnson (hamstring) did not participate during the Jaguars' practice session Thursday.

    Analysis: The rookie wideout's Week 16 status stands in question after he exited last Sunday's loss to the Ravens with his hamstring injury. Given a pair of subsequent practice DNPs Wednesday and Thursday, Johnson is seemingly in danger of missing his first game action of 2020. The Texas product has posted 11 catches for 203 yards and a touchdown over his past four appearances, boosted largely by a four-catch, 96-yard performance Dec. 6 against Minnesota.

    Johnson (hamstring) didn't practice Wednesday, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: The rookie fifth-round pick was forced out of Sunday's loss to the Ravens due to a hamstring issue, so it's worrying to see him sidelined at practice to begin Week 16 prep. John Shipley of SI.com relays that head coach Doug Marrone didn't express optimism about Johnson's chances of playing this weekend against the Bears earlier Wednesday, so the wideout may be closer to doubtful that questionable for the contest at this stage. Chris Conley would stand to handle increased snaps if Johnson sits…read more

  • Exits with hamstring injury

    Johnson is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Ravens due to a hamstring injury, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: The 23-year-old was responsible for Jacksonville's only catch of the first quarter with an eight-yard reception, but he was forced to exit due to the injury. Chris Conley will see increased work as the team's No. 4 wideout if Johnson cannot retake the field.

  • Garners three targets

    Johnson caught two of three targets for 33 yards during Sunday's 31-10 loss to the Titans.

    Analysis: The rookie fifth-round pick had eight receptions for 162 yards and a touchdown over the previous two contests, but he received only three targets during Sunday's blowout defeat. Even with Jacksonville trailing all day, Johnson played only 19 of 71 offensive snaps and remains clearly behind DJ Chark, Laviska Shenault and Keelan Cole on the depth chart.

  • Leading receiver again in OT loss

    Johnson caught four of six targets for 66 yards and also hauled in a two-point conversion in Sunday's 27-24 overtime loss to the Vikings.

    Analysis: Johnson led the Jaguars in receiving yards for the second straight week, and his game-tying two-point conversion with 1:08 remaining sent the contest to overtime. The rookie fifth-round pick's role in Jacksonville's offense is growing down the stretch, and he'll benefit from a favorable Week 14 matchup against the struggling Titans secondary.

  • Leads receiving corps in defeat

    Johnson caught four of eight targets for 96 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's 27-25 loss to the Browns.

    Analysis: The rookie fifth-round pick received his first start with DJ Chark (ribs) and Chris Conley (hip) inactive Sunday, and he made his biggest impact during the second quarter with a 46-yard touchdown reception. Even discounting the long score, Johnson's additional seven targets and 50 receiving yards still would have led the team. He entered Week 12 with only seven catches and 69 yards all season, so his role in the offense figures to hinge on the health of Chark going forward, but it seems likely…read more

  • Draws first career start

    Johnson is slated to start alongside Laviska Shenault and Keelan Cole at wide receiver Sunday against the Browns, John Reid of The Florida Times-Union reports.

    Analysis: For at least this week, the rookie fifth-round pick is poised to have a regular spot in three-wideout sets with DJ Chark (ribs) and Chris Conley (hip) inactive for the contest. Since drawing a career-high four targets Week 5 in Houston, Johnson has garnered only three looks in the passing game over Jacksonville's subsequent five games. The absences of Shenault and Cole should create more opportunities for Johnson, and the Jacksonville passing game as a whole has nowhere to go but up under Week…read more

  • No targets Sunday

    Johnson wasn't targeted during Sunday's 27-3 loss to the Steelers.

    Analysis: The rookie fifth-round pick had a strong Week 5 with three catches for 30 yards and a touchdown, but he has only two catches for 22 yards over the past five games. Johnson doesn't have a target in the last two games despite Laviska Shenault (hamstring) being unavailable.

  • Will play against Steelers

    Johnson (hamstring) is active Week 11 against Pittsburgh.

    Analysis: Johnson has yet to see meaningful work on offense, as he's accumulated more special teams snaps than offensive ones in each of the last three games. Even though Laviska Shenault (hamstring) is inactive for the contest, the receiving corps will still presumably be led by DJ Chark, Keelan Cole and Chris Conley.

  • Officially questionable

    Johnson (hamstring) is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Steelers, John Oehser of the Jaguars' official site reports.

    Analysis: Johnson has played less than 15 percent of offensive snaps in back-to-back games, even with Laviska Shenault (hamstring) having missed both those contests. As such, even if Johnson manages to suit up versus Pittsburgh, it's unlikely that he'll handle a significant role on offense.

  • Hauls in one pass

    Johnson caught one of two targets for nine yards during Sunday's 27-25 loss to Houston.

    Analysis: The rookie fifth-round pick played only nine offensive snaps during the contest, which is his lowest snap total since Week 2. Laviska Shenault (hamstring) left with an injury during the first quarter, but he still ended up seeing more snaps than Johnson. Even if Shenault is forced to miss some time, it's unlikely Johnson sees his role change significantly while DJ Chark, Keelan Cole and Chris Conley remain in good health.

  • Secures first career touchdown

    Johnson caught three of four targets for 30 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's 30-14 loss to the Texans.

    Analysis: The rookie fifth-round pick entered Sunday's game with only two receptions for 17 yards, but he saw his highest snap count of the season (23) with DJ Chark (ankle) exiting due to injury. Johnson still ranked last among Jacksonville's active wideouts in playing time, so without another injury to the group, he seems unlikely to be significantly more involved in the offense.

  • Registers first career NFL catch

    Johnson caught his only target for a 14-yard gain during Sunday's 27-20 win against the Colts.

    Analysis: The rookie wideout from Texas was one of the many beneficiaries to Gardner Minshew's uber-efficient afternoon, as he was among 10 Jaguars players to catch at least one pass while Minshew completed 19-of-20 attempts. Johnson saw under 20 percent of the offensive snaps in his debut, as Keelan Cole, DJ Chark and fellow rookie Laviska Shenault were the only Jaguars receivers to attract more than one target. Heading into a Week 2 matchup against the Titans, Johnson is expected to remain a depth wide…read more

  • Secures roster spot

    Johnson was the star of Saturday's scrimmage and appears to have locked down a spot on the regular-season roster, according to Hays Carlyon of 1010 AM WJXL Jacksonville.

    Analysis: Johnson got most of his work with the backups but also caught a pass from Minshew, taking advantage of the opportunity with both Dede Westbrook (shoulder) and Laviska Shenault (undisclosed) held out of the scrimmage. It won't be easy for the rookie fifth-round pick to earn snaps amidst a receiver group that also has DJ Chark, Chris Conley and Keelan Cole, but it does seem like Johnson will be part of the team, at the very least. Given the expectation of a rebuilding season, there's a good…read more

  • Inks rookie deal

    Johnson signed his rookie contract with the Jaguars on Thursday, John Oehser of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: A rookie fifth-round pick, Johnson's lanky frame (6-foot-6, 222 pounds) immediately sets him apart in Jacksonville's receiver room. Coming off a productive four years at Texas, in which he showed uncommon finesse for a wideout of his size, Johnson could be utilized as unique a depth weapon as a rookie if he's able to adjust to the NFL's level of physicality. The 22-year-old could even possess limited upside in the red zone.
