The Steelers worked out Johnson (arm) on Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson spent the offseason with the Texans but was injured early on during training camp and eventually cut with an injury settlement. The 26-year-old wide receiver has appeared in two career regular-season games, seeing five snaps on special teams.

The Texans waived Johnson (arm) with an injury settlement Friday, per the NFL's transaction log.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson was in line to spend the entire 2025 campaign on Houston's injured reserve list with an arm injury, but he'll now go to free agency instead. It's not clear when he'll be fully recovered and back in playing shape again.

Johnson (arm) reverted to the Texans' injured reserve list Thursday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson was waived with an injury designation Wednesday. He wasn't claimed off waivers by another team, and by reverting to the Texans' IR, Johnson will be forced to miss the entire 2025 season unless an injury settlement is reached. He spent the entire 2024 season on the Texans' practice squad and has appeared in two regular-season games since his rookie campaign in 2022.

The Texans waived Johnson (arm) with an injury designation Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson had his arm in a sling at practice Wednesday, according to Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle. The 26-year-old Johnson has been in the Texans' organization for the last three years and spent the entirety of 2024 on the team's practice squad. Once he clears waivers, Johnson will revert to the Texans' injured reserve list.

Johnson signed a reserve/future contract with the Texans on Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson has been a regular on Houston's practice squad, originally joining the franchise in 2022. Since then he's appeared in two regular-season games for the team, but he has yet to record any counting stats. He'll work toward a chance to make a greater impact in 2025.

Johnson signed with the Texans' practice squad Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

The wide receiver was waived by the team Tuesday. Now, he's back on the Texans' practice squad, where he spent most of 2023. Johnson did appear in one regular-season game, though he did not catch a pass.

Johnson was waived by Houston on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson spent most of the 2023 campaign on the Texans' practice squad, though he did appear in the regular-season finale against the Colts, during which he played nine snaps (four on offense, five on special teams). He entered training camp competing for a depth wide receiver role, and across four preseason games he accrued four catches (on six targets) for 50 yards and one touchdown. Should he clear waivers, Johnson could be invited to stick around on the Texans' practice squad or look to land on a roster elsewhere.

The Texans signed Johnson to a reserve/future contract Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson played four offensive snaps and another five on special teams Week 18 against the Colts, which was only his second career appearance to this point. The 2022 undrafted free agent out of Oregon has spent the last two seasons in Houston's organization.

The Texans reverted Johnson to their practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson got his first elevation of the season Week 18 against Indianapolis and logged four snaps on offense along with five snaps on special teams without recording any stats. His opportunity was largely a result of both Noah Brown (back) and Robert Woods (hip) sitting out the victory that earned the Texans a playoff spot. Johnson's likelihood of being elevated again for Saturday's wild-card game against Cleveland likely depends on whether Brown and/or Woods will be able to make it back into action.

The Texans elevated Johnson to their active roster Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

The 24-year-old wideout's elevation could be a sign that Houston is preparing to be without both Noah Brown (out, back) and Robert Woods (questionable, hip) in Week 18. Johnson will most likely contribute on special teams in Saturday's divisional matchup against the Colts.
