Officially moved to IR
Johnson (knee) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday.
Analysis: This move comes as no surprise considering coach Brandon Staley revealed Monday that Johnson had suffered a season-ending knee injury. The former second-round pick of the Titans will look to make a full recovery heading into the 2023 campaign.

Out for season
Chargers head coach Brandon Staley said Monday that Johnson will miss the rest of the season due to a knee injury he suffered during Sunday's win over the Falcons, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Per Staley, Johnson suffered an MCL injury and a fractured knee in the Week 9 win. Johnson had been filling a big role on the Chargers' defensive line, playing over half of the team's defensive snaps in all but one contest and racking up 22 tackles, one sack and one pass defensed over eight games. Christian Covington will likely see more work in his absence.

Exits with injury
Johnson (knee) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Falcons.
Analysis: Johnson was taken to the locker room on a cart after sustaining this injury at some point during the second half, Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com reports. The starting nose tackle recorded 19 tackles, one sack and one pass defended over the first seven games of the season, and his absence will leave Christian Covington to step up into a larger role against Atlanta.

Joins Chargers
Johnson is expected to sign with the Chargers on Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Johnson spent the last two years with the Giants, and he earned a career-high 648 defensive snaps in 2021. As a result, he's been rewarded with a two-year deal worth up to $14 million, per Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com. Johnson should have a significant role at nose tackle with the Chargers, as he looks likely to replace Linval Joseph, who is an unrestricted free agent.

Active Sunday
Johnson (foot) is active for Sunday's game against the Giants, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Analysis: It's the third straight game Johnson will play after he was considered questionable with the foot injury. The 27-year-old hasn't appeared to have any limitations the past couple weeks and should continue to fill his usual role up front for New York.

Available for Week 16
Johnson (foot) is active for Sunday's contest against the Eagles.
Analysis: Despite not practicing Friday, Johnson will once again play through a foot injury. He played 39 defensive snaps and recorded two tackles during the Giants' Week 15 loss to the Cowboys and will likely see a similar workload against the Eagles.

Questionable for Sunday
Johnson (foot) is questionable for Sunday's game at Philadelphia, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Analysis: Johnson played through the foot injury last week, and his status is now in question for Week 16. Danny Shelton will likely see increased playing time if Johnson is unable to suit up.

Good to go Sunday
Johnson (foot) is active for Sunday's game against the Cowboys.
Analysis: Johnson was listed as questionable heading into the weekend after the foot injury kept him out of the Giants' first two practices of Week 15. He returned to the field Friday as a limited participant, demonstrating enough progress in his recovery from the injury for the Giants to feel comfortable with keeping him active. Johnson has been a force on the interior of the New York defensive line this season, tallying 59 tackles and 3.5 sacks.

Re-ups with Giants
Johnson re-signed with the Giants on Monday, Dan Graziano of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: The terms of the deal weren't reported, though Johnson will return for his second season with the Giants. He played 231 defensive snaps across 16 games while managing 18 tackles and one sack. Johnson could have an elevated role at nose tackle in 2021 after Dalvin Tomlinson left in free agency.

Joins crowded DL in NYC
Johnson is signing with the Giants, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: The 2016 second-round pick started 13 of 58 games in four seasons with the Titans, recording 83 tackles and 2.5 sacks. Johnson may struggle to find regular playing time with a Giants squad that already has Dexter Lawrence, Dalvin Tomlinson, Leonard Williams and B.J. Hill on the defensive line.
