Johnson was waived by the Commanders on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson made all 10 of his field-goal attempts during his rookie season in 2021, so he could get another chance elsewhere this offseason. Joey Slye, coach Ron Rivera's old friend from Carolina, will act as Washington's kicker this season.

Johnson was tendered a contract by the Commanders on Monday, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson is an exclusive rights free agent, meaning he cannot sign elsewhere now that he's received a tender. His projected role with the Commanders remains unclear, as the team can tender restricted free agent Joey Slye up until 4:00 p.m. ET on Wednesday. Johnson split the 2021 campaign between New Orleans and Washington, combining to hit all 10 of his field-goal attempts but only nine of his 13 extra-point attempts.

Johnson (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Giants.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson has been able to maintain his spot on the 53-man roster since Joey Slye was activated from injured reserve Week 16, but the former will remain inactive for the third game in a row. Between stops with New Orleans and Washington, Johnson closes out the 2021 season with a 10-for-10 success rate from the field, though he knocked down only nine of 13 extra-point attempts.

Johnson (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's contest against the Eagles.
EDGE Analysis
After serving as Washington's place kicker for three consecutive weeks, Johnson will now draw a second straight healthy scratch. As long as Joey Slye is healthy, Johnson likely won't have a spot on Washington's gameday roster.

Johnson (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Cowboys.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson served as Washington's placekicker across the last three games and converted both of his field-goal attempts while making four of five extra-point tries. However, he'll be unavailable Sunday since Joey Slye will be back in action following his hamstring injury.

Johnson and Joey Slye (hamstring), who was activated from injured reserve Saturday, are the two kickers on Washington's active roster ahead of Sunday's contest at Dallas, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson filled in for Slye during the latter's recent three-game absence, nailing both field-goal attempts and four of five point-after tries. Coach Ron Rivera may want to see how Slye reacts to a pregame workout before making a decision on the Football Team's placekicker for Week 16, but one of Johnson or Slye will be handling those duties Sunday.

Johnson made his lone field-goal attempt while converting both of his extra-point tries in Tuesday's 27-17 loss to the Eagles.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson missed his lone extra-point try in last week's loss to Dallas, but he bounced back by drilling three kicks in Tuesday's loss. Across his three appearances since he joined Washington, the 22-year-old has made both of his field-goal attempts while converting four of five extra-point tries.

Johnson and Washington will no longer play the Eagles on Sunday, after the NFL officially rescheduled the matchup between the two teams for Tuesday at 7 p.m. ET.
EDGE Analysis
Due to ongoing COVID-19-related issues within Washington's organization, the NFL is hopeful that by delaying the game two days, the Football Team will restore enough players from the reserve/COVID-19 list to alleviate depth concerns on the roster.

Johnson had his lone extra-point try blocked in Sunday's 27-20 loss to the Cowboys.
EDGE Analysis
Washington failed to get on the board in the first half of Sunday's matchup and attempted two-point conversions following both of their first two touchdowns of the game. Johnson took the field for an extra-point try late in the fourth quarter, but the kick was blocked. Across his first two appearances with Washington, Johnson has made his lone field-goal attempt while converting two of three extra-point tries.

Johnson made his lone field-goal attempt while converting both of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 17-15 win over the Raiders.
EDGE Analysis
Washington signed Johnson off the Bears' practice squad Tuesday, and he was effective in his first appearance with the team Sunday. He's now made five appearances between New Orleans and Washington this year and has converted all nine of his field-goal attempts while making seven of 10 extra-point tries. Since Joey Slye (hamstring) is on injured reserve, Johnson should have the chance to remain Washington's kicker for several weeks.
