  • Hamstring issue derails season

    Johnson (hamstring) finished the season with nine receptions for 160 yards and no touchdowns across seven games with Tennessee.

    Analysis: Johnson was very limited due to two separate stints on injured reserve during his first season in Tennessee. In between, he showed the ability to produce when given an opportunity in the absence of A.J. Brown or Julio Jones as he turned in 100 and 52-yard performances in two separate games to account for nearly his entire production in 2021. Johnson is slated to hit free agency at the conclusion of Tennessee's playoff run, and he'll look for an opportunity to provide depth at wide receiver for…read more

  • Shut down for season

    Tennessee placed Johnson (hamstring) on injured reserve Tuesday, ending his season, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

    Analysis: Because Johnson previously opened the season on IR, he's not eligible to play again in 2021 now that he's being moved off the 53-man active roster for a second time after he injured his hamstring early in Sunday's 22-13 loss to the Texans. The setback is an untimely one for Johnson, who broke out with five receptions for 100 yards in a Week 10 win over New Orleans and looked poised to emerge as the No. 2 wideout behind A.J. Brown following Julio Jones' placement on IR with a hamstring concern…read more

  • Suffers hamstring injury

    Johnson was forced out of Sunday's game against the Texans with a hamstring injury, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: With Johnson already ruled out for the rest of the contest, he'll finish the day with without a catch after logging just one target. In his absence, A.J. Brown, Chester Rogers and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine will head the Titans' wideout corps versus Houston.

  • Reaches 100 yards

    Johnson recorded five receptions on six targets for 100 yards in Sunday's 23-21 win over the Saints.

    Analysis: Johnson entered the game with only four receptions across five games this season, though he stepped up in the absence of Julio Jones (hamstring). He delivered several big plays, highlighted by a 50-yard gain late in the first quarter when he quickly turned a short slant upfield. He added additional receptions of 17 and 16 yards to provide a big-play element to the Titans' offense. The team has been lacking a consistent second receiver behind A.J. Brown all season, and Johnson will have the…read more

  • Struggles with increased role

    Johnson recorded one catch on five targets for eight yards in Sunday's 34-31 win over the Colts.

    Analysis: Johnson saw an increased role with Julio Jones (hamstring) sidelined, and he finished tied for second on the team with five targets. However, that didn't translate to much production as his only reception came midway through the first quarter. Johnson also recorded five targets in Week 5 -- another game that Jones missed -- so he could be an under-the-radar candidate for targets in a Week 9 matchup against the Rams should Jones remain sidelined.

  • Produces 52 yards

    Johnson caught three of five targets for 52 yards against Jacksonville on Sunday.

    Analysis: Johnson is somewhat convincing in his role as a downfield specialist for the Titans, and Sunday he provided meaningful production as they played without Julio Jones (hamstring). The Titans might need him to stretch the field again against Buffalo in Week 6 if Jones isn't able to return by then, but if Jones is active then Johnson is unlikely to draw more than a handful of snaps off the bench. Sufficient as he might be in his specialist role, Johnson probably can't take on much volume as a…read more

  • Activated from IR

    Johnson (undisclosed) was activated from injured reserve Saturday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

    Analysis: Johnson missed the first four games of the season due to an undisclosed injury but has been practicing for two weeks. He'll provide the Titans with additional depth at wide receiver behind A.J. Brown while Julio Jones (hamstring) is sidelined and could see immediate involvement in the team's passing attack Sunday against the Jaguars.

  • Return from IR looming

    The Titans designated Johnson (undisclosed) to return from injured reserve Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of Sportstalk 790 Houston reports.

    Analysis: Johnson spent the minimum three weeks on IR, and he'll now have three weeks to be added to the 53-man roster. If he isn't activated by the conclusion of the 21-day evaluation window, he'll head back to IR for the remainder of the season. The statuses of wideouts Julio Jones (leg) and A.J. Brown (hamstring) remain in question Week 4 against the Jets, so Johnson could have a chance to make an immediate impact if he's cleared to play Sunday. The 27-year-old appeared in 11 games for the Colts last…read more

  • Lands on injured reserve

    Johnson (undisclosed) was placed on injured reserve Thursday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

    Analysis: Johnson earned a spot on Tennessee's initial 53-man roster but will now head to injured reserve with the unspecified injury. The 27-year-old will be sidelined for at least the first three games of the season.

  • Continuing strong play

    Johnson continues to stand out with his performance in training camp and caught a number of passes Saturday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

    Analysis: Both Julio Jones (undisclosed) and A.J. Brown were absent from the practice, but Johnson nevertheless impressed with multiple receptions and his work after the catch. Noted as an early standout in camp, Johnson has carried his strong play forward and is gaining positive attention from the coaching staff. Josh Reynolds figures to serve as the team's third receiver behind Brown and Jones, though it appears Johnson is pushing for a fairly significant role in the offense.

  • Impressing at camp

    Johnson has impressed throughout the early days of training camp, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

    Analysis: Johnson is coming off back-to-back seasons with over 200 receiving yards in Indianapolis, with most of his opportunities having come due to injuries ahead of him on the depth chart. He could have an easier path to playing time in Tennessee, especially if he can continue to impress leading up to Week 1. Behind clear top options A.J. Brown and Julio Jones, the Titans' third wide receiver spot could be up for grabs.

  • Inks deal in Music City

    Johnson signed with the Titans on Tuesday, John Glennon of BroadwaySportsMedia.com reports.

    Analysis: Johnson was a consistent contributor with the Colts between Weeks 4 and 11, recording an 11-202-0 line through six games. However, when the team's wideout group started to get healthy, Johnson was cut loose and ultimately landed with Tennessee. The 26-year-old will battle for a depth role in 2021.

  • Joins Titans' practice squad

    The Titans signed Johnson to their practice squad on Wednesday according to a source, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Johnson, a former Colts player, will join Tennessee's practice squad after playing against the Titans twice in the regular season. The receiver has caught 14 receptions for 255 yards throughout 11 games, and he will now assist Tennessee as it takes on the Ravens this Sunday.

  • Heads to waivers

    The Colts waived Johnson on Saturday.

    Analysis: The Colts opted to cut Johnson loose to create a roster spot for tight end Noah Togiai (knee) to be activated from IR. Johnson has played just nine snaps on offense over the last three games. He logged 11 games in 2020, recording a 14-255-0 line with a bulk of that production coming from a Week 6 win over the Bengals, where he caught five passes for 108 yards.

  • Practicing in full

    Johnson (quadriceps) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.

    Analysis: Johnson's quad injury kept him from suiting up against the Steelers in Week 16, but it looks like he'll be back in action against the Jaguars on Sunday. With Michael Pittman currently in the concussion protocol, Johnson could be in line for increased opportunities on offense.

  • Logs limited practice

    Johnson (quadriceps) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

    Analysis: Johnson's quad injury sidelined him for the Week 16 loss to Pittsburgh, so it's encouraging to see him back at practice in at least a limited capacity. Even if he gains clearance for a Week 17 matchup with the Jaguars, Johnson likely won't be in store for a major role in the passing game. He's been targeted only once in his last four outings.

  • Out Week 16

    Johnson (quadriceps) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Steelers.

    Analysis: The 26-year-old was unable to practice this week due to the quad injury and won't be available this weekend. Indianapolis' offense shouldn't be significantly affected by Johnson's absence since he's without a catch since Week 11.

  • Misses second straight practice

    Johnson (quadriceps) did not practice Thursday.

    Analysis: Johnson also missed Wednesday's practice, leaving his availability for Sunday's matchup against Pittsburgh in serious question. Johnson has totaled 255 yards on 14 receptions (28 targets) this season, but much of that output came in a Week 6 effort during which he logged 108 yards on five grabs. He has not registered a reception since Week 11.

  • Done for day

    Johnson was ruled out of the remainder of Sunday's game against the Texans due to a quadriceps injury, Andrew Walker of the Colts' official site reports.

    Analysis: It's unclear how Johnson suffered the injury, but the fact that he was immediately ruled out isn't a good sign. Johnson exits the game failing to record a fantasy-relevant stat. With Johnson sidelined, Ashton Dulin is the only healthy depth receiver behind T.Y. Hilton, Michael Pittman and Zach Pascal.

  • Left out of game plan

    Johnson played one snap on offense in Sunday's 26-20 win over the Texans.

    Analysis: The emergence of Michael Pittman has certainly influenced Johnson's decreasing usage, but it was surprising to see him completely left out of the game plan in a divisional game. Johnson hasn't been fantasy relevant since Week 6, when he posted a 5-108-0 line against the Bengals. He's not startable with Pittman, T.Y. Hilton and Zach Pascal healthy.

  • No targets Sunday

    Johnson wasn't targeted during Sunday's 41-26 loss to the Titans.

    Analysis: The 26-year-old played 26 offensive snaps but was never involved in the passing game. Johnson is entrenched as Indianapolis' No. 4 wideout and doesn't offer much fantasy value in the current situation.

  • Just one reception Sunday

    Johnson had one reception for 14 yards on three targets in Sunday's win over Green Bay.

    Analysis: Johnson played on 38 of the offense's 70 snaps as he saw an uptick in snap count despite Indy's receiving corps being as healthy as it's been all season. Still, he may continue to have just a minor role in the offense as the passing game's focus has been to spread the ball around. Eleven players had receptions in Sunday's win.

  • No receptions Thursday

    Johnson did not have a reception and was targeted just once in Thursday's loss to Tennessee.

    Analysis: Johnson played just 18 of the offense's 70 snaps as his playing time declined sharply from his 60 snaps in Week 9. Michael Pittman's emergence and the return of T.Y. Hilton from injury pushed Johnson to a reserve role. With the Colts utilizing two tight ends frequently, Johnson won't get much playing time as the No. 4 receiver.

  • Inefficient day in loss to Ravens

    Johnson corralled two of his seven targets for 14 receiving yards during Sunday's 24-10 loss to the Ravens.

    Analysis: Johnson tied Michael Pittman for the team high in targets, though the rookie's output yielded twice the number of catches and quadruple the yardage compared to Johnson's. The Texas product bounced back and forth between the active roster and the practice squad throughout September and October, but with seven-plus targets in two of his past three appearances, Johnson may be developing into a more stable piece of the Colts roster.

  • Suiting up against Ravens

    Johnson (knee) is officially active Week 9 against Baltimore.

    Analysis: This was the expectation all along after Johnson was able to log a full practice Friday. Opportunity knocks for the wide receivers in Indianapolis, as T.Y. Hilton is inactive for the contest with a groin injury, leaving Johnson to contend with Zach Pascal and Michael Pittman for targets at the wide receiver position. The team will also have a fully healthy tight end group with Mo Alie-Cox cleared to play despite a knee injury. It's a tough matchup in any case, as the Ravens are allowing the…read more

  • Questionable, should play Week 9

    The Colts will list Johnson (knee) as questionable for Sunday's game against the Ravens, but he's expected to play in the contest, George Bremer of The Anderson Herald Bulletin reports.

    Analysis: Johnson failed to practice Thursday after hurting his knee during Wednesday's workout, but he returned as a full participant Friday in the Colts' final Week 9 session. Though the Colts are still giving him an injury designation as a precaution, Johnson looks like he'll be ready to go Sunday, and he should step into a starting role at receiver with T.Y. Hilton (groin) listed as doubtful for the contest. Johnson had already played more than 60 percent of the Colts' offensive snaps in both of the…read more

  • Added to injury report

    Johnson (knee) was listed as a non-participant on Thursday's practice estimate.

    Analysis: Johnson is a newcomer to the Colts' Week 9 injury report, so it remains to be seen if his DNP listing for Thursday's walk-through is indicative of a minor issue he's managing or something that could affect his status for Sunday's game against the Ravens. Friday's injury report should provide added clarity on that front.

  • Has 200 yards in last three games

    Johnson caught two of four targets for 39 yards in Sunday's 41-21 win over the Lions.

    Analysis: Johnson has racked up 200 receiving yards in the past three games, adding a big-play element to an otherwise methodical Colts offense. If fellow deep threat T.Y. Hilton -- who exited with a groin injury -- can't go against the Ravens in Week 9, Johnson should get more opportunities to try to find space downfield against the talented Ravens secondary.

  • Tops 100-yard mark

    Johnson caught five of eight targets for 108 yards during Sunday's 31-27 win over the Bengals.

    Analysis: Johnson led the team in targets, catches and receiving yards while playing a vital role in the team's comeback after falling into an early hole. He most notably hauled in a 55-yard deep ball from Philip Rivers that nearly resulted in a touchdown, only to be tackled just short of the goal line. Johnson had previously totaled 90 yards while catching four of four targets in his first two games of the season and seems to have developed a nice rapport with Rivers on deeper routes.

  • Joins active roster

    Johnson was added to the Colts' active roster Saturday, Joel A. Erickson of The Indianapolis Star reports.

    Analysis: The Colts ran out of practice-squad options for Johnson, so an official spot on the 53-man roster always seemed like the obvious designation. While the receiver recorded three receptions for 53 yards in Week 5 and has logged a decent number of snaps over the past two weeks, the Colts' passing attack simply hasn't been productive enough to warrant fantasy consideration for the depth target.

  • Heading back to practice squad

    Johnson has reverted to Indianapolis' practice squad after corralling all three of his targets for 53 receiving yards during Sunday's 32-23 loss to the Browns, per the NFL's transaction log.

    Analysis: Johnson was the Colts' second-leading receiver on the afternoon, with his 30 offensive snaps ranking behind only T.Y. Hilton and Zach Pascal among Indianapolis WRs. Coupled with his solid Week 5 receiving production, this transaction becomes more puzzling given that Johnson out-snapped both Daurice Fountain and Ashton Dulin on Sunday -- each of whom currently remains on the Colts' active roster.

  • Joins Colts' active roster

    Johnson was elevated to the Colts' active roster Saturday.

    Analysis: Johnson worked as the Colts' No. 3 receiver last week against the Bears and recorded one reception for 27 yards on his only target. He was then let go on Monday and subsequently reverted to the team's practice squad. However, that did not last long, as he will be back with the team in Week 5.

  • Headed back to practice squad

    Johnson reverted to the practice squad Monday, according to the NFL transaction log.

    Analysis: Johnson had a sizeable role in the Colts' offensive gameplan in Week 4 against the Bears. He was on the field for 34 of the team's 72 snaps and also logged one catch for 27 yards. With both Parris Campbell (knee) and Michael Pittman (leg) both on injured reserve, Johnson could get another chance on the active roster if any more injuries occur among the Colts' receiving corps.

  • Works as No. 3 WR

    Johnson had one reception for 27 yards on his only target in Sunday's win over Chicago.

    Analysis: While Johnson had just one target, he played the third-most snaps among Colts wide receivers. He played on 34 of the offense's 72 snaps compared to 18 snaps for Ashton Dulin and 15 snaps for Daurice Fountain. It looks like Johnson may emerge as the third receiver, but the Colts had more targets to tight ends (eight combined) than wideouts (two targets) after the starting duo of Zach Pascal and T.Y. Hilton. The No. 3 and No. 4 wide receivers in the offense may not produce viable fantasy value as…read more

  • Added to active roster

    Johnson was elevated from the Colts' practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Analysis: Johnson was waived by the Colts in early September but returned to the team as part of the practice squad later in the month. He could be needed to fill a role in the next few weeks with Michael Pittman (leg) on injured reserve, though there's no guarantee that role will be a particularly significant one. Pittman registered just 12 targets and nine catches across the first three games of the season, and those infrequent opportunities will likely go to receivers higher on the Colts' depth chart.

    The Colts signed Johnson to the practice squad on Wednesday.

    Analysis: Johnson appeared in 13 games with the Colts between 2018 and 2019, and he logged a number of strong performances with the team last season. With Parris Campbell (knee) expected to miss multiple weeks, Johnson could see an opportunity to join the active roster if Indianapolis suffers any more injuries to the pass catching corps.

  • Shown door by Colts

    Johnson was waived by the Colts on Saturday, Joel A. Erickson of the Indianapolis Star reports.

    Analysis: The Colts signed Johnson when their receiving corps faced a slew of injuries midseason, and he flashed potential, including a Week 14 performance where he caught three passes for 105 yards and a score. However, the room is healthy now with the rookie additions of Michael Pittman and Dezmon Patmon, and Johnson lost the battle with Ashton Dulin for the No. 6 wideout job.

    Johnson re-signed with the Colts on Wednesday, Joel A. Erickson of The Indianapolis Star reports.

    Analysis: It's a one-year contract for Johnson, who wasn't extended a restricted free agent tender earlier this offseason. He made six starts for the Colts last year, climbing up the depth chart while Devin Funchess, T.Y. Hilton and Parris Campbell dealt with injuries. Johnson even had a 100-yard game Week 14 at Tampa Bay, but he'll likely be battling for a depth job whenever the Colts are able to resume training.

  • Won't receive tender

    The Colts do not intend to extend a contract tender to Johnson, Joel A. Erickson of The Indianapolis Star reports.

    Analysis: As a result, Johnson will become an unrestricted free agent March 18, rather than a restricted free agent. After working his way up from the practice squad last November, Johnson hauled in 17 passes for 277 yards and two scores across eight contests. Most notably, the 25-year-old surpassed 100 receiving yards Week 14 against the Buccaneers while also recording a touchdown. Given his youth and occasional flashes, Johnson shouldn't have much difficulty catching on as a depth or developmental…read more

  • Shows flashes in 2019

    Johnson recorded 17 receptions for 277 yards and two touchdowns over eight games in 2019.

    Analysis: Johnson was activated from the practice squad in November after a slew of injuries to the Colts' wide receivers, and the 25-year-old more than doubled his career totals in all major categories over the course of eight games. His work as a consistent starter is one of the main reasons for his success. Johnson will be a restricted free agent in March, and if he stays in Indianapolis, he projects as a depth option.

  • Just one reception Sunday

    Johnson had one reception for two yards on four targets in Sunday's win over Carolina.

    Analysis: Johnson started next to T.Y. Hilton and Zach Pascal in a three-receiver set and played on 46 of the offense's 64 snaps. However, he didn't produce much as the Colts didn't need to throw the ball after amassing a large early lead through special teams and with the running game. He should remain in the mix in the passing game next week against Jacksonville.

  • Makes long catch

    Johnson caught two of four targets for 37 yards in Monday night's 34-7 loss to the Saints.

    Analysis: Johnson came back to earth after exploding for 105 yards and a touchdown his last time out. Like Week 14, however, he again hauled in a 20-yard reception Monday, showing his big-play ability. With top wideout T.Y. Hilton back in the lineup, Johnson will have a smaller workload the final two weeks of the season, but he at least has done enough lately to remain in the mix.

  • Breaks out in Week 14

    Johnson caught three of seven targets for 105 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 38-35 loss to Tampa Bay.

    Analysis: Johnson scored a 46-yard touchdown on Indianapolis' first drive and later added a 50-yard reception. If T.Y. Hilton (calf) remains out against the Saints in Week 15, Johnson should continue to serve as Indianapolis' big-play threat. Johnson had more receiving yards in this one (105) than he did all season coming in (102).

  • 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.
