The Panthers placed Johnson (concussion) on the reserve/non-football injury list Friday, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson had previously been ruled out due to a personal matter, but it's been revealed that he suffered a concussion in a car accident Thursday.

Johnson (concussion) was not listed on the Panthers' injury report Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

The second-year pro was inactive for the Panthers' Week 12 loss to the Chiefs after sustaining a concussion prior to the team's Week 11 bye, but his omission from Wednesday's injury report suggests he's cleared the NFL's five-step protocol. With Johnson now back to full health, he's expected to serve as Carolina's top backup outside linebacker.

Johnson (concussion) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson was diagnosed with a concussion during the Panthers' Week 10 win over the Giants. He was able to practice all week -- including full sessions Wednesday and Friday -- but it appears the 2023 third-round pick was unable to clear the league's five-step concussion protocol in time for Sunday's game. Johnson's next opportunity to play will be Week 13 against the Buccaneers on Sunday, Dec. 1. Cam Gill, Charles Harris and Kenny Dyson will serve as the Panthers' rotational outside linebackers Sunday behind starters D.J. Wonnum and Jadeveon Clowney.

Johnson (concussion) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Chiefs, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson was concussed in the Panthers' Week 10 win over the Giants and had the Week 11 bye to recover. He was able to sandwich full practices Wednesday and Friday around a limited session Thursday. Johnson has 29 tackles (10 solo), including 0.5 sacks, and one pass breakup on limited snaps as a sub-package linebacker this season.

Johnson has been diagnosed with a concussion and will not return Sunday against the Giants, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson took a hit to the head in the third quarter of Sunday's game. He will not return to the game after being diagnosed with a concussion, and he'll end the day with four tackles (one solo). Thomas Incoom and Cam Gill are candidates to see an uptick in snaps at linebacker for the rest of Sunday's contest.

Johnson (ankle) was absent from the Panthers' injury report Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson was held out of Carolina's Week 9 win over the Saints due to an ankle issue. However, Wednesday's injury report suggests that the 2023 third-round pick from Oregon has moved past his injury. Expect Johnson to serve as one of the Panthers' top rotational outside linebackers once again in Week 10, when the team travels to Germany to face the Giants.

Johnson (ankle) is listed as inactive for Sunday's tilt against the Saints, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official website reports.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson injured his ankle in last week's loss to the Broncos and had to be carted to the locker room. Still, he surprisingly drew a questionable designation for this week's game. He will ultimately be unable to give it a go. In his absence, Cam Gill will be a candidate to see increased snaps providing depth at strongside linebacker.

Johnson (ankle) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Broncos, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson was carted to the locker room due to an ankle injury, and the 2023 third-round pick will not return to the game. The severity of the injury should be known following Sunday's game, and the injury could jeopardize his chance of playing in Week 9 against New Orleans on Sunday, Nov. 3. Thomas Incoom will see more rotational snaps at linebacker behind Charles Harris and Jadeveon Clowney.
