News

  • Returns to practice

    Johnson (groin) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Paul Kuharsky of PaulKuharsky.com reports.

    Analysis: Johnson was unable to participate in Sunday's home opener against the Giants due to a groin injury. The 26-year-old cornerback recorded 55 tackles, six pass breakups and three interceptions with Houston during the 2021 season. Johnson should be able to provide defensive-back depth for Tennessee during Monday's matchup against the Bills if he remains healthy.

  • Ruled out for Sunday

    Johnson (groin) has been ruled out for Sunday's season opener against the Giants, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

    Analysis: Johnson didn't practice all week, so his unavailability doesn't come as a surprise. In his absence, A.J. Moore and Josh Kalu are expected to be the primary backups to Amani Hooker and Kevin Byard.

  • Suffers shoulder injury

    Johnson is questionable to return to Saturday's preseason game versus Arizona with a shoulder injury, Terry McCormick of TitanInsider.com reports.

    Analysis: The severity of Johnson's injury is unknown, and there's no timetable for his return. Greg Mabin and 2022 second-rounder Roger McCreary should see an increase in opportunities in Tennessee's defensive backfield until Johnson is ready to play again.

  • Claimed off waivers

    Johnson was claimed off waivers from the Chiefs on Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Johnson had just been acquired by the Chiefs in May after spending his first three seasons with the Texans. The 26-year-old cornerback recorded 55 tackles, six passes defended and three interceptions while starting seven of 14 games with Houston in 2021. Johnson should be able to provide solid depth for the Titans in the secondary.

  • Cut by Kansas City

    Johnson was waived by the Chiefs on Monday, Herbie Teope of The Kansas City Star reports.

    Analysis: Johnson was let go by the Chiefs after the team traded a 2024 seventh-round conditional pick to acquire him from the Texans in May. The 26-year-old cornerback registered 55 tackles, six passes defended and three interceptions while starting seven of 14 games with Houston in 2021. Johnson will now pass through waivers, where he should have a good chance to land with a new team in need of defensive back depth this offseason.

  • Dealt to Kansas City

    Johnson was traded to the Chiefs from the Texans on Monday in exchange for a 2024 conditional seventh-round pick, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Johnson was a consistent piece of Houston's secondary over the last three seasons, appearing in 14 or more games in each campaign. He finished with 55 tackles (38 solo) and five passes defensed and picked off three passes in 2021.

  • Activated off reserve/COVID-19 list

    Johnson was activated off of the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of Sportstalk 790 Houston reports.

    Analysis: Johnson missed each of the Texans' last two contests after testing positive for COVID-19 on Dec. 23. He will return ahead of the team's final game of the season Sunday against the Titans.

  • Joins growing reserve/COVID-19 list

    Johnson (quadriceps) tested positive for the coronavirus Thursday and will be placed on the Texans' reserve/COVID-19 list, Brooks Kubena of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Analysis: Johnson, safety Eric Murray and defensive linemen Roy Lopez and Jordan Jenkins are among the Texans who tested positive Thursday, bringing the organization's total number of players on the reserve/COVID-19 list or practice squad/COVID-19 list up to 22. If vaccinated and asymptomatic of the virus, Johnson will have a chance to come off the list ahead of Sunday's game against the Chargers, but he faces a tight timeline to gain clearance. Johnson is also nursing a quad injury, which rendered him a…read more

  • Likely to start Sunday

    Johnson is expected to serve as one of the Texans' starting cornerbacks in Sunday's game against the Jaguars, Aaron Wilson of Sportstalk 790 Houston reports.

    Analysis: He'll be entering the starting lineup as a replacement for Terrance Mitchell (reserve/COVID-19 list) at a boundary corner spot. Johnson began the season as a safety for Houston, but he was moved to cornerback in mid-November after losing hold of a starting role at the former position. Despite moving in and out of the lineup this season, Johnson leads the Texans with three interceptions.

  • Moving to cornerback

    Johnson will shift back to cornerback beginning in Week 11, Aaron Wilson of Sportstalk 790 Houston reports.

    Analysis: Johnson has been the starting strong safety for the Texans since Week 4 after Eric Murray was benched. Johnson, a cornerback by trade, has struggled at safety, and despite his three interceptions on the year, will be moved back to his natural position. He will likely be utilized in a rotation with Terrance Mitchell and Desmond King as the team continues to look for the right combination in the secondary.

  • Another pick

    Johnson recorded nine tackles and one interception in Sunday's 31-5 loss to the Cardinals.

    Analysis: Johnson picked off Kyler Murray late in the third quarter with the game well out of hand. He's now recorded three interceptions in his last four games, while also racking up a combined 26 tackles in that span.

  • Gets another INT

    Johnson recorded four tackles, an interception and pass defended in Sunday's 25-22 loss to the Patriots.

    Analysis: Johnson's interception was his second in as many weeks and of his career overall. The third-year pro continues to play a major role on the Texans' defense after moving to a starting role towards the end of last season. Johnson will try to keep his interception steak going in Week 6 against the Colts.

  • Grabs INT in loss

    Johnson recorded eight tackles (five solo), one pass breakup and one interception during Sunday's 40-0 loss to the Bills.

    Analysis: Johnson intercepted quarterback Josh Allen on the Bills' first offensive play of the contest, but his play did little to create any momentum for the Texans in what quickly turned into a blowout loss. The third-year pro played 100 and 83 percent of defensive snaps in the Texans previous two games.

  • Absent from injury report

    Johnson (thigh) is not listed on the Texans' injury report ahead of Sunday's game against the Browns.

    Analysis: Johnson was limited at Wednesday's practice, but it is now looking like Houston was just erring on the side of caution. Baring any setbacks, look for him to take on his usual role providing depth in the secondary.

  • Limited in practice Wednesday

    Johnson (thigh) was listed as a limited participant in practice Wednesday.

    Analysis: Johnson suffered a thigh injury in the Texans' preseason finale and was forced to miss the season opener against the Jaguars. The defensive back's status for Houston's Week 2 contest against the Browns is considered uncertain. Johnson will likely fill a reserve role for the Texan's secondary when he's back to full strength.

  • Won't play Sunday

    Johnson (thigh) has been ruled out for Sunday's Week 1 matchup against the Jaguars.

    Analysis: Johnson hasn't practiced all week due to a thigh issue, and the injury will keep him out for the season opener. It's not yet clear whether he'll be able to return for the Week 2 contest against the Browns, but he should serve as depth in the Texans' secondary once he's fully healthy.

  • Back at practice

    Johnson (leg) returned to practice Monday, independent NFL journalist Aaron Wilson reports.

    Analysis: Johnson suffered a minor leg injury during Saturday's preseason matchup with the Buccaneers. However, his quick return to practice indicates the issue was not serious. The 25-year-old is expected to provide depth in the Texans' secondary this season.

  • Suffers minor injury Saturday

    Johnson suffered a minor leg injury during Saturday's preseason contest against the Buccaneers, independent NFL journalist Aaron Wilson reports.

    Analysis: Johnson and Eric Murray both suffered injuries Saturday, leaving Jonathan Owens as the only healthy strong safety on the Texans' depth chart. Johnson's injury is expected to be minor and shouldn't impact his availability for the season opener Sept. 12. The 25-year-old appeared in all 16 games for Houston last year, registering a career-high 76 tackles.

  • Back at practice

    Johnson (undisclosed) was activated from NFI list Tuesday, NFL reporter Aaron Wilson reports.

    Analysis: Johnson is one of six safeties on the Texans' roster. After transitioning to the safety position last season, he'll use this camp to continue to compete for reserve reps behind incumbent starter Eric Murray.

  • On NFI list

    The Texans placed Johnson on the non-football injury list Wednesday with an unspecified issue, NFL reporter Aaron Wilson reports.

    Analysis: Johnson will be sidelined for the start of camp as a result of the transaction. While transitioning from cornerback to safety last season, Johnson appeared in all 16 games and recorded 76 total tackles.

  • Transitions to safety in 2020

    Johnson transitioned from cornerback to safety in 2020 and finished with 76 tackles.

    Analysis: Johnson, drafted as a cornerback in the second round of the 2019 draft, successfully transitioned to safety in 2020. He was the team's top-graded safety, per Pro Football Focus. Johnson moved into a full-time role after Justin Reid's season-ending thumb injury in Week 14 and didn't miss a snap over the final three games. Johnson's contract runs through 2022, but his role is unclear pending sweeping changes on a defense that ranked 30th overall in the NFL (24th against the pass).

  • Posts 11 tackles vs. Bengals

    Johnson recorded 11 tackles (six solo) across 76 defensive snaps in Sunday's loss to the Bengals.

    Analysis: Johnson set a new career high for single-game tackles, reaching the double-digit mark for the first time. He also played in 100 percent of the snaps Sunday. Through 15 games this season, Johnson has recorded 72 tackles (55 solo).

  • Cleared for Week 15

    Johnson (knee) is active for Sunday's game versus the Colts.

    Analysis: Johnson will start at free safety in Sunday's divisional game despite being a late addition to the injury report Friday. The second-year defensive back has accrued 52 tackles through 13 games.

  • Late addition to injury report

    Johnson (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game versus the Colts, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Johnson made his first appearance on the injury report Friday, as he was listed as a limited participant. If Johnson's ruled out, Jonathan Owens should pick up the excess reps behind starting safeties A.J. Moore and Eric Murray.

  • Registers eight stops

    Johnson recorded eight tackles (six solo) in Sunday's 26-20 loss to the Colts.

    Analysis: Johnson played 68 percent of the snaps on defense and notched a new career high for tackles in a game. The second-year defensive back has started in just one game this season, but this is his third straight outing with more than 65 percent of the defensive snaps. Johnson will look to build on this performance in Week 14 against the Bears.

  • Dials up the blitz

    Johnson had five tackles and two quarterback hits in Sunday's 27-20 win over the Patriots.

    Analysis: Johnson worked effectively as a blitzer, getting to quarterback Cam Newton twice and forcing him to throw incomplete on a fourth down that sealed the win. The second-year backup safety plays all over the secondary for the Texans and has 32 tackles over 10 games while playing 51 percent of the snaps.

  • Solid effort in win

    Johnson made six solo tackles -- one for a loss -- in Sunday's 27-25 win over the Jaguars.

    Analysis: This was Johnson's second-highest snap share of the year, and he capitalized on the increased reps with a season high in tackles. Johnson's still behind starters Justin Reid and Eric Murray in terms of usage, so he'll be tough to depend on barring an injury to one of those two.

  • Sticking at safety

    Johnson will continue to work at safety despite the injury to cornerback Bradley Roby (knee), Aaron Reiss of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: The 2019 second-round pick has been working as Houston's third safety throughout the first half of the season, and interim coach Romeo Crennel said, "We'd be doing the kid a bit of a disservice if we keep bouncing him from position to position. Right now, Lonnie is a safety." Johnson has 20 total tackles through seven games and should continue to play a rotational role at safety even if Roby is sidelined.

  • Expanding role

    Johnson (illness) is expected to have a larger role Week 4 with A.J. Moore (hamstring) landing on injured reserve, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Analysis: Johnson, who was a limited participant at Thursday's practice, filled in for Moore last Sunday and played a season-high 43 snaps (54 percent) in a loss to the Steelers. He's been the third safety to start the season but will see his role expand against the Cowboys, the league's top-ranked passing offense. Johnson's a big-bodied safety-cornerback, representing a physical prototype at the position, and gives the Texans a larger presence in the secondary than Moore.

  • Could have bigger role in 2020

    Johnson finished his rookie season with 41 tackles and seven passes defensed over 14 games in 2019.

    Analysis: Johnson was Houston's second-round draft pick in 2019 and immediately stepped into a significant role. Unfortunately, as a rookie cornerback in the NFL, he did not deliver on the potential of a 54th-overall pick. The Texans believe Johnson will have a good future, per Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com, but he was ranked last at his position by Pro Football Focus. With a few cornerbacks entering free agency or not being brought back, Johnson could move up the depth chart and gain a larger role in 2020,…read more

  • Expected back Week 13

    Johnson (ankle) is expected to play this week against the Patriots, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Analysis: Johnson sat out Week 12 against the Colts after injuring his ankle the previous week against the Ravens. The rookie cornerback was a limited participant Wednesday and Thursday but is trending in the right direction.

  • Not playing Thursday

    Johnson (ankle) is ruled out for Thursday's game against the Colts.

    Analysis: After incurring an ankle injury during this past Sunday's loss to the Ravens, Johnson was unable to practice all week and won't suit up for the divisional clash. Bradley Roby (hamstring) is a game-time call, so if he can't go Johnathan Joseph and Gareon Conley figure to start with Vernon Hargreaves and Keion Crossen rotating in.

  • Game-time decision

    Johnson (foot) is a game-time decision ahead of Thursday's clash with the Colts, Aaron Reiss of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Johnson left Sunday's loss to Baltimore after suffering a foot injury in the third quarter. He did not return. Johnson certainly will need to get some amount of practice reps under his belt if he has any chance of facing the Colts on Thursday.

  • Leaves game Sunday

    Johnson (foot) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Ravens.

    Analysis: It's unclear how Johnson suffered the injury, but he was forced to leave the game in the third quarter. As long as he's sidelined, look for Gareon Conley and Keion Crossen to see an increase in depth snaps.

  • Clears protocol

    Johnson did not appear on Wednesday's edition of the Week 11 injury report after passing a baseline neurological exam.

    Analysis: Since suffering a concussion during Week 8's win over Oakland, Johnson has passed every phase of the NFL's concussion protocol, resulting in his omission from Wednesday's injury report for Week 11. The 24-year-old cornerback is on track to face Baltimore on Sunday.
