EDGE Analysis
Johnson was placed on Carolina's practice squad injured list Dec. 3 with an undisclosed injury, which was set to keep him sidelined for at least four games. The running back will continue to focus on recovering from the injury and once healthy, look to latch on with a team that makes the postseason.

Johnson signed with the Panthers' practice squad Thursday, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson joined Carolina in July and was unable to make the 53-man roster out of training camp. However, the Washington product will get a second opportunity with the team, taking the last open spot on their practice squad.

The Panthers waived Johnson on Monday, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson impressed during Carolina's most recent preseason game, touching the ball 20 times for 83 total yards and one touchdown, but it now appears that the team has decided to part ways with the 23-year-old. Now that Johnson has been waived, Carolina's running back room consists of Chuba Hubbard (knee), Jonathon Brooks (knee), Miles Sanders, Raheem Blackshear, Mike Boone and Jaden Shirden.

Johnson rushed 18 times for 83 yards and one touchdown while also hauling in each of his two targets for zero yards during Saturday's 15-12 preseason loss to the Jets.
EDGE Analysis
Each of Carolina's top three running backs sat for the second straight preseason game Saturday, allowing Johnson to make the most of his increased opportunities. The undrafted rookie out of Washington averaged an efficient 4.6 yards per carry Saturday, which likely boosts his chances of making Carolina's 53-man roster. While Johnson is still comfortably behind Chuba Hubbard, Miles Sanders and Raheem Blackshear, he has a shot at remaining in Carolina if he continues performing at a high level.

The Panthers signed Johnson on Wednesday, Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Washington product was dropped by the Titans just two days ago, but he's already found a new home in Carolina. Johnson has a shot to make the Panthers' 53-man roster, as the team's No. 3 running back spot is seemingly open. Once Johnson arrives in Carolina, he's expected to compete with Miles Sanders and Raheem Blackshear for a depth role on the Panthers' offense.

The Titans waived Johnson on Thursday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson was picked up by Tennessee after going undrafted earlier in the offseason, but it now seems as if the team has decided to part ways with the 23-year-old. The Washington product was a second-team all Pac-12 selection last season after tallying 1,385 yards from scrimmage and 16 touchdowns in 2023.
