The Dolphins placed Johnson (shoulder) on injured reserve Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson suffered a shoulder injury in the Dolphins' Week 14 game against the Jets and was unable to return to the game. The linebacker was also unable to practice Thursday with a shoulder injury deemed severe enough to move him to injured reserve. The 27-year-old will be unable to return for the rest of the regular season, with his only hope of suiting up again being if the Dolphins can make a wild-card push. In Johnson's absence, K.J. Britt and Willie Gay will likely see more defensive reps at strongside linebacker.

Johnson (shoulder) did not participate in practice Thursday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson suffered a shoulder injury in the first half of the Dolphins' Week 14 game against the Jets. The 27-year-old will likely need to return to practice Friday or Saturday for a chance to play Monday night versus the Steelers. If Johnson is unable to play Monday, Tyrel Dodson will likely see additional reps.

Johnson (shoulder) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's contest against the Jets.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson suffered a shoulder injury in the second quarter, and his day has now officially come to a premature end. With Tyrel Dodson (hamstring) also banged up, Miami's linebacker depth is going to be tested moving forward in Week 14.

Johnson (shoulder) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Jets.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson sustained the injury in the second quarter, and he has gone to the locker room to have his shoulder evaluated by medical staff. The Dolphins' depth at linebacker would take a slight hit if Johnson is not cleared to return to Sunday's game.

Johnson (knee) played 14 defensive snaps and eight special-teams snaps during the Bears' preseason game against the Browns.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson managed to make it back on the field for Chicago's preseason finale Saturday after picking up an unspecified knee injury during the team's previous exhibition against Seattle. The 2021 undrafted linebacker picked up eight tackles while playing all but five snaps on special teams (236) over 14 games last year. Johnson's availability in Friday's game should help his case for a core special teamer role heading into final roster cuts Tuesday.

Johnson (knee) is doubtful to return to Thursday's preseason contest against the Seahawks, Larry Mayer of the Bears' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson appeared to suffer a knee injury on a Seattle running play during Thursday's contest. The linebacker managed to walk to the locker room with only a slight limp. There is no indication how long Johnson will be out, but the 24-year-old saw a key role on the Bears' special teams last season so Chicago may need to look for replacements if Johnson is expected to miss time.

Johnson failed to record a tackle in the Bears' 31-17 Week 18 loss to the Vikings, and he ended the season with eight tackles.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson was used solely on special teams. He's signed through the 2023 season, but unless he moves into the Bears' rotation at linebacker, it's unlikely he'll have significant IDP value.

Johnson (undisclosed) was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson missed last week's loss to the Buccaneers due to the league's COVID-19 protocols, but he'll be able to rejoin the team in Week 8. The 23-year-old has played exclusively on special teams to begin the year and has racked up five tackles (four solo) across five appearances.

The Bears placed Johnson on the reserve/COVID-19 list Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson previously missed the Bears' Week 6 loss to the Packers with a knee injury, but he won't play Sunday against the Buccaneers for a difference reason. If he can overcome his knee injury and clear all health and safety protocols within the next week, the reserve linebacker could be ready to play in the Bears' next contest Oct. 31 versus the 49ers.

Johnson (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest against the Packers.

EDGE Analysis

As expected, Johnson will not be available for the Bears in Week 6 after not practicing all week. The rookie leads the team with five special-teams tackles, so Chicago will have to fill that void against the Packers on Sunday.
