Has four receptions Sunday
Johnson had four receptions for 55 yards on six targets in Sunday's loss to Tennessee.
Analysis: Johnson played on 65 of the offense's 70 snaps as he was pressed into a larger role after Chester Rogers was lost to a knee injury. With Rogers placed on IR, Johnson could be a large factor in the offense again next week in an enticing matchup at Tamp Bay. However, he could also move to a reserve role if T.Y. Hilton (calf) and Parris Campbell (hand) can return from injury.

No impact in loss
Johnson failed to catch his only target during Thursday's 20-17 loss to the Texans.
Analysis: Johnson wasn't able to follow up his Week 11 performance, during which he racked up 38 yards and a score, against the Texans on Thursday. His only target came in the form of a bomb downfield, but Johnson didn't appear to be on the same page as quarterback Jacoby Brissett. He's set to reprise his usual role as a depth wideout and special-teams contributor Week 13 versus the Titans.

Takes advantage of opportunity
Johnson hauled in all four of his targets for 38 yards and a touchdown in the team's Week 11 win over the Jaguars.
Analysis: Johnson hauled in the team's lone score through the air on a one-yard reception midway through the third quarter. Earlier that drive, he snagged a 17-yard pass down the left side of the field for his longest reception of the day. Johnson has seen an increased role in the offensive gameplan with T.Y. Hilton (calf), Parris Campbell (hand) and Devin Funchess (collarbone) all sidelined. Given the team's quick turnaround for their Week 12 matchup against the Texans on Thursday, Johnson could be in…read more

Just one reception but 55 snaps
Johnson had one reception for nine yards on three targets in Sunday's loss to Miami. He played on 55 of the offense's 69 snaps.
Analysis: While Johnson had just one catch, it's notable that he got more playing time that Chester Rogers (34 snaps). He could emerge with a larger role next week if T.Y. Hilton remains out with a thigh injury and Devin Funchess and Parris Campbell are not able to return from injuries.

Moves up from practice squad
Johnson was signed to the Colts' 53-man roster Saturday.
Analysis: Johnson will take the roster spot of disappointing wide receiver Deon Cain, who was waived in a corresponding move. It's unlikely Johnson makes much of an immediate impact, but the Colts will be without two of their key pass catchers in T.Y. Hilton (calf) and Parris Campbell (hand), making the fourth-year wideout No. 4 on the team's depth chart.
