EDGE Analysis

Johnson took a hard hit from Thomas Davis in the fourth quarter last Thursday and missed the remainder of the game. The specifics surrounding his injuries aren't clear, though, as is any sort of timeline for return. For however long Johnson may be sidelined, both Robert McClain and Zack Sanchez are in line for additional snaps.
