Johnson (thigh) is considered questionable to play Saturday against the Saints, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson picked up a thigh contusion during the Browns' win over Baltimore last Saturday. He was then limited in practice Tuesday before he took a step back with a DNP during Wednesday's sessions. Johnson has logged 81 tackles, four passes defended, an interception a pair of fumbles forced and recovered while appearing in every game for Cleveland this season. In his possible absence, expect D'Anthony Bell and/or Ronnie Harrison to see increased playing time versus New Orleans.

Browns coach Kevin Stefanski said that Johnson sustained a thigh contusion during Saturday's 13-3 win over the Ravens, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson was presumably limited to a season-low 75 percent of his team's defensive snaps due to this issue Saturday. Nevertheless, the sixth-year safety still collected his second-most tackles in a game this season with nine, and he now ranks second on the Browns in tackles (81) behind fellow safety Grant Delpit (88). Johnson's participation level in practice Tuesday should provide more clarity on his status heading into next Saturday's game against New Orleans.

Johnson (knee) was a full participant at practice Thursday, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson started his week limited before downgrading to a DNP on Wednesday. However, it appears the day off did Johnson well, and he should be good to go Saturday against the Ravens.

Johnson (knee) was a non-participant at Wednesday's practice, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson was listed as a limited participant on Tuesday's estimated report but has been downgraded to a non-participant Wednesday. He'll have one more chance to practice Thursday before the team needs to make a decision on his status for Saturday's matchup against Baltimore, but Johnson is currently trending toward sitting out Week 15.

Johnson recorded eight tackles (six solo) in Sunday's 23-10 loss to the Bengals.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson's eight total tackles brings him to 72 on the season. He also suffered a knee injury at some point during the game, which has him on the team's injury report Monday. He is currently considered questionable for Saturday's game with the Ravens.

Johnson recorded 10 tackles (eight solo) in Sunday's 31-23 loss to the Bills.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson was one of two Cleveland defenders to play every defensive snap in the Week 11 matchup versus Buffalo, and he posted his first double-digit tackling performance of the 2022-23 campaign this past weekend. Though the 26-year-old safety has yet to record an interception this season, he'll likely continue operating as an every-down player when the Browns host the Buccaneers on Sunday.

Johnson recorded seven tackles (four solo) and 0.5 sacks during the Browns' season-opening win against the Panthers on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson finished as Cleveland's top tackler as he played all but one of the team's defensive snaps against Carolina. The starting free safety also played 25 percent of the team's snaps on special teams (eight). This heavy usage should give Johnson a good chance to lead the Browns in tackles during the 2022 campaign.

Johnson notched 61 tackles (37 solo), a half-sack, five pass breakups, three interceptions and one forced fumble across 15 games in 2021.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson didn't come close to matching last season's performance of triple-digit tackles, though he did provide a notable boost to Cleveland's secondary and come within striking distance of his career-high interception tally. He stands to reprise his role as Cleveland's starting free safety during the 2022 season, after which the team will have a potential 'out' from his contract.

Johnson (hamstring) is active for Sunday against the Bengals, Jake Trotter of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson has missed the Browns' last two games, but he will suit up Sunday against the Bengals. He should man the majority of the free safety snaps as usual.

Johnson (hamstring) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Bengals, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson has missed the past two games with the hamstring injury, and his availability for Week 18 remains up in the air. M.J. Stewart should receive another start should Johnson be unable to play in the season finale.
