Johnson signed with the Cardinals' practice squad Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson failed to make the Ravens' initial 53-man roster in late August but has since found a new home with the Cardinals' practice squad. The South Florida product appeared in 14 games for the Jaguars in 2024, rushing 55 times for 143 yards and catching 12 of 19 targets for 96 yards. He could be elevated to Arizona's active roster at some point this season with James Conner (foot) done for the year.

The Ravens signed Johnson to the practice squad Wednesday, Ryan Mink of the team's official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson joined the Ravens in early August with the aim of cracking to make the 53-man roster, but he failed to beat out Rasheen Ali for the RB4 spot. Johnson will return to the Ravens on the practice squad and is a candidate to be elevated to the active roster if Ali, Keaton Mitchell, Justice Hill or Derrick Henry were unable to play. Johnson logged 46 carries for 163 yards and two touchdowns while adding five catches (on eight targets) for 26 yards across the Ravens' three preseason games.

The Ravens released Johnson on Tuesday, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson carried a heavy workload during the preseason, rushing 46 times for 163 yards (3.5 YPC) and two touchdowns while also catching five passes for 26 yards. He was a longshot to make the 53-man roster due to Baltimore's solid running back room. Johnson should have utility on a practice squad. Last season, the 29-year-old posted 143 yards on 32 carries and 96 yards on 12 receptions through 14 games with the Jaguars.

The Ravens signed Johnson on Saturday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson has six years of NFL experience on his resume, with his best campaign coming in 2021 when he logged 534 rushing yards and three touchdowns on 100 carries during the regular season with Cleveland. He provided depth at RB for the Jaguars last year, recording 143 yards on 32 carries and 96 receiving yards on 12 catches over 14 contests. Johnson also has experience as a kick returner, which can only help his chances of making Baltimore's final roster. Johnson's signing was precipitated by the absence of Marcus Major, who is dealing with a concussion.

Johnson carried two times for 26 yards and caught one of two targets for zero yards during the Jaguars' Week 18 loss to the Colts.

EDGE Analysis

The 28-year-old received his first carries since Week 11 but played just 12 offensive snaps in the season finale. Johnson finished the season with 32 carries for 143 yards and 12 receptions for 96 yards in 14 contests. He's set to hit free agency during the offseason, and there will likely be limited openings in Jacksonville since Travis Etienne, Tank Bigsby and Keilan Robinson are all under contract for 2025.

Johnson (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's matchup against the Jets.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson will be inactive for the third straight game since Jacksonville's Week 12 bye. He played in each of the Jaguars' first 11 contests of the campaign but has fallen behind Keilan Robinson on the depth chart since Robinson returned from IR in mid-November.

Johnson (coach's decision) is a healthy scratch for Sunday's matchup versus Tennessee, John Oehser of the Jaguars' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson will be inactive for the second straight week. Prior to Jacksonville's Week 12 bye, the South Florida product had suited up for each of the team's 11 contests and had gotten at least one touch in all but two of those games. However, Johnson appears to be out of the rotation with both Travis Etienne and Tank Bigsby healthy and with rookie tailback Keilan Robinson having been activated off IR ahead of Week 13.

Johnson (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Texans.

EDGE Analysis

Coming out of a Week 12 bye, the Jaguars are back to full strength in the backfield with Travis Etienne further removed from the hamstring injury that sidelined him for Weeks 7 and 8 and with Tank Bigsby back in action after missing the Week 11 loss to the Lions with an ankle injury. Rookie fifth-round pick Keilan Robinson is also ready to make his NFL debut after coming off injured reserve Nov. 19, and while he's unlikely to have much of a role on offense behind Etienne and Bigsby, his ability to contribute as a return man will be enough for the Jaguars to keep him active over Johnson as the No. 3 back. Johnson had already seen his role dwindle following Etienne's return to action in Week 9, as Johnson earned just four carries and one target while playing 28 total snaps on offense over the Jaguars' last three games before the bye.

Johnson carried twice for three yards during Sunday's 52-6 loss to the Lions.

EDGE Analysis

The 28-year-old suited up after being considered questionable with a hamstring injury, and he played just 27 percent of the offensive snaps. Johnson has five carries for 12 yards and one reception for 20 yards over the past four games, and he isn't likely to be significantly involved in the offense while Travis Etienne is healthy.

Johnson (hamstring) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game in Detroit.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson played through a hamstring injury this past Sunday versus the Vikings, but despite fellow RB Tank Bigsby (ankle) departing after 10 snaps and two carries, the former didn't earn a touch on four offensive plays. Meanwhile, Travis Etienne dominated the Jaguars backfield to the tune of 12 touches for 43 yards from scrimmage on 30 snaps. With Bigsby ruled out for Week 11, Johnson will back up Etienne, but his usage likely will be limited.
