News

  • Scooped up by Atlanta

    The Falcons claimed Johnson off waivers Monday.

The 28-year-old nose tackle played played three games after signing with Houston on Oct. 27, recording five tackles and one sack while playing 83 of his 91 snaps on defense. Johnson could step up into an immediate reserve role with the Falcons after the team also placed starting defensive lineman Ta'Quon Graham (knee) on injured reserve Monday.

  • Let go Saturday

    Johnson was waived by the Texans on Saturday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 reports.

    Analysis: Johnson appeared in three games for the Texans this season, recording five tackles (four solo), a sack and a fumble recovery.

  • Gets opportunity with Atlanta

    Johnson worked out for the Falcons on Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.

    Analysis: Johnson was let go by the Saints in August with an undisclosed injury, but his recent workout with Atlanta indicates he's moved past the issue. The 316-pound defensive lineman last suited up for the Texans in 2021, where he collected 23 tackles and one fumble recovery across 12 games played.

  • Waived/injured by Saints

    Johnson (undisclosed) and the Saints have come to terms on an injury settlement, John Hendrix of SI.com reports.

    Analysis: Johnson went unclaimed off waivers earlier in the week and subsequently reverted to the team's injured reserve. He had been competing for a depth interior defensive lineman role prior to sustaining an undisclosed injury. He will now be free to look for a new landing spot once he recovers from the injury.

  • Dealing with undisclosed injury

    Johnson (undisclosed) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.

    Analysis: Johnson was released by the Saints Thursday only to re-sign with the team Monday. He'll now be sidelined for the entire 2022 season. Johnson tallied 23 total tackles while serving as a rotation lineman with the Texans in 2021.

  • Headed back to New Orleans

    Johnson was re-signed by the Saints on Monday.

    Analysis: Johnson was released by the Saints last Thursday as the team looked to make room for quarterback K.J. Costello and defensive back Brian Allen on its offseason 90-man roster. The sixth-year defensive tackle has played 60 regular-season games -- including 16 starts in 2020 -- over the past four seasons with Minnesota and Houston. Johnson should once again compete with Malcolm Roach and Josh Black for a depth role on the interior of New Orleans' defensive line this preseason.

  • Dropped by New Orleans

    The Saints released Johnson on Thursday.

    Analysis: Johnson was one of two players let go by the Saints on Thursday to help make room for recently acquired quarterback K.J. Costello and defensive backs Brian Allen and Jack Koerner on the team's offseason 90-man roster. The 28-year-old totaled 23 tackles over 12 games during his lone season with the Texans in 2021, and he should attract interest from teams in need of depth at defensive tackle this preseason.

  • Headed to New Orleans

    Johnson signed a one-year deal with the Saints on Saturday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Johnson appeared in 12 contests for the Texans last season and registered 23 tackles (11 solo) and one fumble recovery. Before heading to Houston, the 2017 fourth-round pick totaled 73 tackles and five sacks across his two previous seasons with Minnesota. Johnson figures to be a rotational piece for the Saints during the 2022 campaign.

  • Back from COVID list

    Johnson (illness) was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday.

    Analysis: Johnson and Roy Lopez (illness) have both been activated, so Houston will have significantly more depth available on the interior of the defensive line in Week 17, which will be useful against the run-heavy 49ers offense.

  • Tests positive for COVID-19

    Johnson (illness) was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of Sports Talk 790 Houston reports.

    Analysis: Johnson can return in time for Sunday against the Chargers if he is vaccinated and capable of producing two negative tests more than 24 hours apart. With fellow defensive linemen Maliek Collins, DeMarcus Walker, Jonathan Greenard and Derek Rivers all on the COVID list as well, the Texans are in danger of being incredibly thin at the position Sunday. Johnson will try to clear protocols, so he can provide depth and possibly start against the Chargers.

  • Absent from injury report

    Johnson (back) isn't listed on Wednesday's injury report.

    Analysis: Johnson sat out the past two games with the back injury, but he's now absent from the injury report. The 27-year-old has seven tackles while operating as a rotational defensive tackle for the Texans this season.

  • Not playing Sunday

    Johnson (back) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Rams.

    Analysis: Johnson returned to practice a few days ago after missing the previous game against the Cardinals, but he was only able to log limited sessions throughout the week and was ultimately ruled out as a result. Expect Ross Blacklock to replace him once again just like it happened last year.

  • Deemed questionable for Sunday

    Johnson (back) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Rams, Brooks Kubena of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Analysis: Johnson returned to practice this week after missing Week 7. He logged limited sessions all three days. Ross Blacklock filled in for the 27-year-old last time and will likely do so again if needed.

  • Ruled out Sunday

    Johnson (back) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

    Analysis: Johnson was unable to practice this week due to his back injury, and he'll be forced to miss his second game of the 2021 campaign. Roy Lopez and Ross Blacklock should see a slight uptick in playing time.

  • Lands back with Texans

    Johnson signed with the Texans on Tuesday, Brooks Kubena of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Analysis: Johnson signed with the Texans in the offseason but failed to make the team out of training camp. He landed with the Saints' practice squad afterward but will now have the chance to serve as depth along the defensive line with Vincent Taylor (ankle) sidelined.

  • Moves on to Houston

    Johnson signed a contract with the Texans on Thursday.

    Analysis: Johnson is coming off the best season of his career, having notched 44 tackles (22 solo) and 1.5 sacks across 16 games with the Vikings in 2020. He'll handle a key interior role along Houston's defensive line, though Maliek Collins stands to be ahead of him on the depth chart.

  • Career high in tackles

    Johnson produced 44 tackles (22 solo) and 1.5 sacks through his 16 games in the 2020 campaign.

    Analysis: In his fourth year with Minnesota, Johnson had a larger role and earned much more playing time, allowing him to compile a career high in tackles. While the defensive tackle saw a notable increase in his usage in 2020, the defensive tackle's rookie contract is now up, so he may be wearing a different uniform next season.

  • Four tackles Sunday

    Johnson started at defensive tackle and had four total tackles in Sunday's loss to Green Bay.

    Analysis: Johnson had an uneven performance as he had three stops, according to Pro Football Focus, but was also part of a unit that failed to generate any pass rush and allowed 4.9 yards per carry. He should get plenty of playing time, as his 57 snaps led all Minnesota defensive tackles.

  • Listed as starting defensive tackle

    Johnson is listed as a starting defensive tackle on Minnesota's initial unofficial depth chart.

    Analysis: Johnson started the three games that Linval Joseph missed last season, and he'll now get increased playing time with Joesph gone as a free agent and Michael Pierce opting out of the season.

    Published: Mon, Sep 7 at 6:20pm by Rotowire.com

  • Logs 3.5 sacks on season

    Johnson produced 29 tackles and 3.5 sacks over 16 regular-season games in 2019.

    Analysis: Johnson started the three games that Linval Joseph missed this season, and he actually exceeded Joseph (three) in the sack department. Joseph and Shamar Stephen will be back in 2020, but Johnson -- who is heading into the final year of his rookie contract -- could push the latter for a starting role next season.

  • Logs sack in win

    Johnson recorded six tackles (four solo) and a sack in Sunday's win over the Broncos.

    Analysis: The performance was easily Johnson's best of the season, as it was his first solo sack and highest tackle total this year. The 25-year-old's days as a starter could be numbered however, as Linval Joseph (knee) could be back after the upcoming Week 12 bye.
