Johnson should return to a backup role Sunday against the Rams after Tyler Huntley was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson was relatively effective as a spot starter in Sunday's loss to the Bengals, as he completed 28 of 40 passes for 304 yards, two touchdowns and an interception while rushing twice for 10 yards. However, Lamar Jackson (ankle) has returned to practice in a limited capacity, and Huntley will likely be in line to fill in as the Week 17 starter if Jackson isn't deemed ready to return against the Rams.

Johnson completed 28 of 40 pass attempts for 304 yards, two touchdowns and one interception against Cincinnati on Sunday. He also rushed five times for 10 yards and committed two fumbles, recovering both.
EDGE Analysis
The Ravens were blown out 41-21 and Johnson couldn't do much as a runner, but this is still a fairly impressive showing for a player who only joined the team Dec. 15. Given the short notice, brief practice time and general dysfunction around the Ravens, no one could have blamed Johnson if he had played much more poorly than this. It's not clear what the Week 17 situation might be for Lamar Jackson (ankle) or Tyler Huntley (illness) as the Ravens prepare to face the Rams.

Johnson will start Sunday's game against the Bengals, Ryan Mink of the Ravens' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
With Tyler Huntley officially on the reserve/COVID-19 list and Lamar Jackson (ankle) not traveling with the team to Cincinnati, Johnson is now set to start Sunday's game, with Kenji Bahar slated to back him up. While Johnson is not a high-percentage fantasy lineup option in Week 16, he does offer an alternative for those in two-QB formats or who are otherwise scrambling at this stage for a QB for any reason.

Johnson is expected to start Sunday's game against the Bengals, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
With Lamar Jackson (ankle) not traveling with the team to Cincinnati and Tyler Huntley reportedly headed to the reserve/COVID-19 list, Johnson is the next man up at QB for the Ravens in Week 16. Per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, the Ravens intend to sign Kenji Bahar to provide the team with a backup option behind Johnson on Sunday.

With Tyler Huntley reportedly headed to the reserve/COVID-19 list, per Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com, Johnson is a candidate to start Sunday's game against the Bengals.
EDGE Analysis
In that context, Johnson is Ravens' healthiest available QB in advance of the game, with Lamar Jackson (ankle) listed as questionable after not practicing all week. Prior to Saturday's news, the expectation had been that Huntley was the team's likely Week 16 starter, but the assignment may now go to Johnson if Jackson isn't able to handle it.

With Lamar Jackson (ankle) and Tyler Huntley (illness) both on the injury report and listed as questionable, Johnson was the only quarterback at Friday's practice for the Ravens, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic and Aditi Kinkhabwala of NFL Network suggest Huntley is expected to be ready for Sunday's game in Cincinnati, while Jackson is far less likely to play. If things take a turn for the worse and both quarterbacks are out, Johnson would make a start less than two weeks after signing with the Ravens.

The Ravens signed Johnson off the Jets' practice squad Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson reverted to the Jets' practice squad in early December and will provide additional depth at quarterback for the Ravens while Lamar Jackson (ankle) is day-to-day. Even if Jackson is unavailable for Sunday's game against Green Bay, Johnson should serve as a backup behind Tyler Huntley.

Johnson reverted to the Jets' practice squad Monday.
EDGE Analysis
The quarterback served as the backup to Zach Wilson in Week 12 against the Texans, but with Joe Flacco being reinstated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday, Johnson is unlikely to find himself back on the active roster ahead of Sunday's game versus the Eagles.
