Active for Week 17
Johnson (ankle) is active for Sunday's NFC South clash against the Panthers.
Analysis: Johnson aggravated an ankle injury in Week 5 against Atlanta, which was severe enough for him to be placed on injured reserve Oct. 21. The 22-year-old wideout was a full practice participant all week, and he has progressed enough in his recovery to be activated off IR and to play Sunday. Johnson has failed to record a catch in the four games in which he has played.

Activated off injured reserve
The Buccaneers activated Johnson (ankle) from injured reserve Saturday, Scott Smith of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: Johnson has been on injured reserve since Oct. 21 due to an ankle injury that he aggravated against the Falcons in Week 5. He's been a full participant in practice over the last two weeks, and his activation off IR indicates that he should be able to suit up against the Panthers on Sunday, though he is still listed as questionable. Johnson will provide depth at wide receiver and gives the Buccaneers another return option for kickoffs and punts.

Analysis: Johnson landed on IR in late October. He was designated to return Thursday, but he hasn't ramped up enough to return to game action this week.

The Buccaneers announced Thursday that Johnson (ankle) has been designated to return from IR, opening his 21-day practice window, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Johnson has been sidelined since Week 5 due to an ankle injury. Now having been cleared to practice, Johnson can be activated fully from IR and to the 53-man roster at any point during his 21-day window, making him eligible to retake the field as early as Sunday versus the Chargers. The undrafted rookie drew just one target while handling a depth role in his first four NFL games.

Not ready to practice
Johnson (ankle) is not expected to be designated for return from injured reserve this week, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.
Analysis: Johnson hasn't played since Week 5 due to the ankle injury, and he remains without a timeline for a return. Once the receiver is cleared the practice, the Buccaneers will have a 21-day window in which to add him back to the 53-man roster. The undrafted rookie drew just one target over 38 snaps on offense in his first four NFL games prior to landing on IR.

Moves to IR
The Buccaneers placed Johnson (ankle) on injured reserve Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Johnson had already been ruled out for the Buccaneers' Week 7 matchup against the Ravens, but his shift to IR on Monday suggests his ankle injury is severe. The Barton College product will now be forced to miss Tampa Bay's next four games, with his earliest possible return coming in Week 12 against the Giants. Expect Sterling Shepard and Trey Palmer (concussion) to see increased work in the Buccaneers' wide-receiver corps in Johnson's stead.

Ruled out for Week 7
Johnson (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Monday's game against the Ravens, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
Analysis: Johnson will miss a second straight game due to an ankle injury he sustained in Week 5 against the Falcons. He hasn't practiced since the injury, and his next chance at suiting up will be Week 8 in a rematch against Atlanta. With Mike Evans (hamstring) and Trey Palmer (concussion) dealing with injuries, the Bucs' only healthy wide receivers heading into Monday's game are Chris Godwin, Jalen McMillan and Sterling Shepard.

DNP Thursday
Johnson (ankle) was a non-participant at Thursday's practice,
Analysis: Johnson is looking to return from a one-game absence due to an ankle injury, but his absence from Thursday's practice is not a good start to the week. Still, he will have an extra day to recover, as the Buccaneers do not play until Monday against the Cardinals. The rookie pass catcher has seen the field for 38 offensive plays across four games and drawn one target.

Missing Week 6
Johnson (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Saints, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Analysis: Johnson played just five total snaps (four offensive and one on special teams) before exiting the Bucs' Week 5 loss to the Falcons with an ankle injury. He downgraded from limited work Wednesday to a DNP both Thursday and Friday, making it no surprise that he's sitting out Week 6. Expect Sterling Shepard and Jalen McMillan (hamstring) to see increased work in Tampa Bay's wide receiver room in Johnson's stead.

Misses practice
Johnson (ankle) did not participate at the Buccaneers' practice Thursday, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
Analysis: Johnson opened the week as a limited participant at practice following an ankle injury he suffered in Week 5 versus Atlanta. The wide receiver's inability to practice Thursday is concerning, and if he isn't able to return to the field Friday, he'll likely miss Sunday's matchup with the Saints.

Questionable to return
Johnson (ankle) is questionable to return to Thursday's game against the Falcons, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
Analysis: The punt returner and wide receiver did not record a stat before exiting. The two receivers in front of him on the receiver depth chart and behind him on the punt-returner depth chart, Jalen McMillan (hamstring) and Trey Palmer (concussion), are inactive Thursday. Sterling Shepard and Cody Thompson are Tampa Bay's only other available receivers beyond Mike Evans and Chris Godwin.

Ready to rock
Johnson (ankle) has no injury designation ahead of Thursday night's matchup against the Falcons, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
Analysis: After logging a full practice session Wednesday, Johnson has moved past his ankle issue enough to suit up for Thursday night's divisional matchup. Expect the Barton College product to serve as a depth piece in Tampa Bay's wide receiver corps while also contributing on special teams in Week 5.

Participates in walk-through
Johnson (ankle) was a limited participant during the Buccaneers' walk-through session Tuesday, Brianna Dix of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: Johnson was able to suit up for Week 4 against the Eagles after missing Week 3 against the Broncos due to an ankle injury. He's started this week with back-to-back limited participation designations, and Wednesday's injury report will provide more clarity on his status for Thursday's NFC South showdown against the Falcons. Smith has played 53 snaps (34 on offense, 19 on special teams) and registered one carry for no gain and one target through three-regular season games.

Limited on Monday's estimation
Johnson (ankle) was listed as a limited participant on Monday's practice estimation.
Analysis: Johnson missed Tampa Bay's Week 3 loss to the Broncos with an ankle injury, but he was able to play through the issue in Week 4, logging 28 total snaps (23 offensive and five on special teams) while failing to haul in his lone target. Unless the 22-year-old's practice participation downgrades to a DNP either Tuesday or Wednesday, he's expected to suit up Thursday night against the Falcons.

Johnson (ankle) is active Sunday against the Eagles, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
Analysis: Johnson missed last week's loss to the Broncos with the injury, but he'll be back on the field for week 4. The rookie wideout could see a few extra opportunities against Philadelphia with Jalen McMillan (hamstring) out.

Tagged as questionable
Johnson (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Eagles after being limited in Friday's practice.
Analysis: Johnson was held out for Week 3 against the Broncos due to an ankle injury he sustained during practice leading up to that game. He was unable to practice Wednesday, but he was able to participate in a limited capacity Thursday and Friday to give himself a shot at playing Sunday. If Johnson can't play in Week 4, Trey Palmer would figure to serve as the primary punt returner, while the Bucs could call up a wide receiver like Sterling Shepard from the practice squad.

Analysis: Johnson opened the week as a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, but he was a DNP Thursday and Friday, and he is not expected to play Sunday.

Five touches in preseason debut
Johnson brought in three of five targets for 12 yards and rushed twice for 13 yards in the Buccaneers' 24-14 preseason win over the Dolphins on Friday night.
Analysis: The Barton College product overcame a multi-week rib injury just in time to participate in the final preseason game, and while he didn't do anything spectacular with his touches, Johnson was kept busy during his time in the game. The undrafted rookie had impressed throughout the offseason and early in training camp, so he may have a good shot at sticking on the practice squad come final cutdowns.

Returns to practice
Johnson (ribs) practiced Wednesday, Kenny Morales of WFLA News reports.
Analysis: Johnson's return is a boost for the rookie who is trying to make the Buccaneers' 53-man roster as an undrafted free agent out of Barton College. Naturally considered a longshot to make it early on, Greg Auman of Fox Sports believes the 22-year-old will make the team as the No. 5 wide receiver, partially because of his ability to also be used as a return man on special teams.

Could return Friday
Head coach Todd Bowles told reporters Monday that Johnson (ribs) is trending towards playing during Friday's preseason matchup with the Dolphins, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
Analysis: The undrafted rookie out of Barton College has been dealing with a ribs injury over the last week, and it now appears that he could return to the field Friday. Johnson has been competing for Tampa Bay's top kick- and punt-returner job since signing with the team in May, but he likely has only an outside chance of making the Buccaneers' 53-man roster.

Struggling with rib injury
Johnson (ribs) participated in limited fashion in Monday's practice, Scott Smith of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: The undrafted rookie did not play in Saturday's preseason-opening win over the Bengals and is not yet able to participate in practices without restriction. Johnson had impressed teammates and coaches since arriving in May, but unless he can get on the field for at least one of the final two preseason games, it may be difficult for the Barton College product to even garner a practice-squad spot.
