Johnson signed with Houston's practice squad Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson had been on Houston's active roster prior to being waived Monday. After going unclaimed on waivers, the fullback is back in the organization. The Texans could opt to elevate Johnson on game days, leaving his role functionally the same as it was when he was on the active roster.

The Texans waived Johnson on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson has been let go by the Texans despite being the lone fullback on the roster. He should garner interest from teams in need of blocking out of the backfield, though he could opt to remain in Houston as a member of the team's practice squad if he clears waivers.

Johnson (hamstring) is active for Sunday's game against the Titans.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson is active and ready to suit up for his first game since Week 3 against the Jaguars, where he suffered a hamstring injury that placed him on injured reserve. The starting fullback's presence should improve the Texans' special teams unit as well as provide an extra blocker out of the backfield for a rushing attack comprising Nick Chubb and Woody Marks. The addition should be especially potent against the divisional rival Titans, who rank 24th in rush yards allowed with 1,272 on the season.

The Texans activated Johnson (hamstring) from injured reserve Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson is still listed as questionable for Sunday's AFC South tilt against the Titans, but his activation from injured reserve primes him to return from a six-game absence due to a hamstring injury. The seventh-year fullback gives the Texans an extra blocker out of the backfield for the running back duo of Nick Chubb and Woody Marks, as well as a contributor for special teams.

Johnson (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Titans,
EDGE Analysis
Johnson was a full participant in practice all week and appears ready to play if the team decides to activate him off injured reserve for Sunday's game. The fullback has been on IR since Week 3 due to a hamstring injury, and his return could greatly contribute to the team's rushing attack.

Johnson (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson was a full participant in practice all week, but he's not quite ready to return from injured reserve. Given his ability to ramp up his practice participation, the seventh-year pro should be activated from IR ahead of the Texans' Week 11 clash against the Titans on Sunday, Nov. 16.

Johnson (hamstring) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Broncos.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson landed on injured reserve with a hamstring injury after Week 3 and returned to practice Wednesday. He turned in full practice sessions Thursday and Friday but will wait until at least Week 10 to be activated.

Johnson (hamstring) was a full participant at Friday's practice and is listed as questionable leading up to Week 9 against Denver.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson, who was designated to return from the injured list earlier in the week, logged full practices Thursday and Friday. The fullback was considered as one option to fill in for tight end Dalton Schultz (knee, shoulder), but that doesn't appear to be needed as Schultz logged a full practice Friday and is likely to play Sunday. Johnson has appeared in three games but does not have a carry over 40 snaps on offense. He's also a component on special teams, where he has one tackle and one blocked punt over 36 snaps.

The Texans designated Johnson (hamstring) to return from injured reserve Wednesday, Sam Warren of the Houston Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson has been on IR for the four-game minimum due to a hamstring injury he sustained in late September. He was a limited participant in Wednesday's session, and he would likely have to log full practices before being activated off IR ahead of Sunday's game against the Broncos.

The Texans placed Johnson (hamstring) on the injured reserve list Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson will be forced to miss at least the Texans' next four games due to an apparent hamstring injury. The Tennessee product appeared in each of Houston's first three games this season, playing 76 total snaps (40 on offense, 36 on special teams) while failing to record an offensive stat.
