Johnson (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday night's contest against the Seahawks, but he will operate as the team's emergency third quarterback.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson will be back in his familiar role as Washington's No. 3 QB in Week 9. The 39-year-old has yet to appear in a contest this season, and he'd only be able to do so if Jayden Daniels and Marcus Mariota are sidelined with injuries.

Johnson (coach's decision) is inactive but serving as the emergency third quarterback for Sunday's game against the Cowboys.

EDGE Analysis

The well-traveled veteran will fill his usual role behind Jayden Daniels and Marcus Mariota, namely, being available as an emergency option should both his position mates exit the contest due to injury, illness or ejection. Johnson has just five regular-season pass attempts since the start of the 2022 season, none which have come in 2025.

Johnson (coach's decision) is inactive for Monday's game against the Bears but will be available as the emergency third quarterback.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson has fluctuated between being the backup and third-string quarterback in Washington based on the health of Jayden Daniels. With Daniels set to start in Week 6, Johnson will be inactive for the second consecutive week.

Johnson (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Chargers and will serve as the Commanders' emergency third quarterback.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson served as the Commanders' backup quarterback over the last two games due to the absence of Jayden Daniels, who was nursing a knee injury. With Daniels cleared to play Sunday, Marcus Mariota will revert to his backup role while Johnson serves as the emergency quarterback, which means he won't be allowed to see the field unless Daniels and Mariota were to leave the game due to injury, illness or ejection.

Johnson (coach's decision) is inactive for Thursday's game against the Packers but will serve as the Commanders' emergency third-string quarterback.

EDGE Analysis

As the emergency quarterback, Johnson will be allowed to see the field Thursday only if Jayden Daniels and Marcus Mariota become unavailable due to injury, illness or ejection.

Johnson (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Giants and will serve as Washington's emergency third quarterback.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson is third on the QB depth chart behind Jayden Daniels and Marcus Mariota, so he could serve as the emergency QB frequently this season. It would take both Daniels and Mariota becoming unavailable due to injury, illness or ejection for Johnson to be eligible to enter Sunday's matchup.

The Commanders signed Johnson to a one-year contract Friday, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson, a 38-year-old veteran, threw just three passes across his six regular-season appearances in 2024 while working in relief of Lamar Jackson with the Ravens. Back in 2018, he appeared in four regular-season games with Washington. Johnson will now join Marcus Mariota as a depth option behind Jayden Daniels, the reigning Offensive Rookie of the Year.

Johnson played in six regular-season games in 2024, completing two of three passes for 17 yards while netting one yard on four carries.

EDGE Analysis

All of Johnson's work came in brief appearances in relief of Lamar Jackson, as he didn't log more than 10 offensive snaps in any game. The veteran signal-caller did see his most work since 2021, but that doesn't change his outlook as a career backup. Johnson is set to become a free agent, and there's been some speculation that he could elect to hang up his cleats.

Johnson played three of the Ravens' 59 snaps on offense in Monday's 41-31 win over the Buccaneers.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson entered the game after the two-minute warning for the Ravens' final possession of the night, handing the ball off to Justice Hill three times before Baltimore punted. The 38-year-old's snaps will continue to be limited to late-game garbage-time scenarios while reigning MVP Lamar Jackson is healthy.

Johnson completed four of 12 passes for 62 yards and gained 11 rushing yards on two carries in Friday's 16-13 preseason loss to the Eagles.

EDGE Analysis

The defenses were ahead of the offenses for both teams, but Johnson in particular struggled to move the ball as he got the start while Lamar Jackson and the rest of the Ravens' first-team offense got the night off. The 38-year-old journeyman is set as Jackson's backup in his second stint with Baltimore, but Johnson would offer little fantasy upside if he were forced into action in the regular season.
