The Chiefs activated Johnson (shoulder) from injured reserve Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson opened the regular season on injured reserve due to a shoulder injury he sustained in a preseason game in August, but his activation from IR puts him on track to make his 2025 regular-season debut against the Broncos on Thursday. The 2022 seventh-rounder could step into a prominent role in the Chiefs' secondary for the final two games of the regular season, given that Trent McDuffie (knee) and Jaylon Watson (groin) were both placed on injured reserve.
