Johnson was added to the Jets' practice squad Wednesday, Andy Vasquez of USA Today Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

This move comes as a surprise, as the Jets were expected to offer a practice squad spot to 2020 fourth-round pick James Morgan over the 35-year-old Johnson. Instead, Johnson has landed on the practice squad, likely because he showed a strong understanding of the offense during his time in camp and can be called upon to fill in reliably. This move suggests the team has given up on Morgan's future due to his lack of progress heading into his second season.
