Johnson (hamstring) has been ruled out for Saturday's Christmas Day matchup with the Packers, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
EDGE Analysis
The safety suffered the hamstring injury in Monday's loss to the Raiders and after he was deemed day-to-day this week, he will ultimately be unavailable Saturday. With Johnson on the shelf, M.J. Stewart will likely step into a starting spot against Aaron Rodgers and the Packers in Week 16.

Johnson recorded a hamstring injury Monday against the Raiders and is deemed day-to-day, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson managed to suit up and play in Week 15 after testing positive for COVID-19 days before their contest with the Raiders. The 26-year-old could end up being limited in practice this upcoming week, which will likely allow M.J. Stewart and Richard LeCounte to receive first-team reps at practice until Johnson can return to the field.

Johnson (illness) was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list by the Browns on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson tested positive for COVID-19 on Tuesday and was unable to join the team for practice this week, but he'll be available for Monday's matchup against the Raiders. If the 26-year-old has any limitations in Week 15, M.J. Stewart and Richard LeCounte should see additional playing time.

Johnson was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Tuesday after testing positive for the virus, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson is one of numerous Browns' players to test positive and land in COVID protocols. The safety hasn't been ruled out for Saturday's contest yet, so that indicates he's vaccinated, which means he could still face the Raiders if he provides back-to-back negative tests at least 24 hours apart.

Johnson logged seven tackles (six solo) and half a sack in Sunday's 24-22 win over the Ravens.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson has now played 100 percent of the Browns' defensive snaps in each of the last five games, and he has three consecutive appearances with at least six tackles. Across the last five games, the 2017 third-rounder has totaled 26 tackles (20 solo), two interceptions, a forced fumble and half a sack.

Johnson tallied seven tackles (four solo) while also intercepting one pass in Sunday's 16-10 loss against the Ravens.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson intercepted his third pass of the season and his second in his last four games. The Browns safety has also tallied seven tackles in each of his last two games. Johnson is not on the same tackling pace as he was last season with the Rams, however, he has seemingly solidified a young secondary, and he may be able to surpass his career high in interceptions.

EDGE Analysis
Johnson appears to have avoided a serious injury, but his status for Week 9 is still up in the air. If the Browns elect to keep him sidelined, then Grant Delpit will likely draw the start at free safety against the Bengals on Sunday.
