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.

Johnson was elevated from the practice squad Saturday and will serve as the backup quarterback Sunday against the Texans, Ethan Greenberg of the Jets' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Jets elevated Johnson with both Joe Flacco and Mike White still on the reserve/COVID-19 list. He has seen game action on two occasions this season and has completed 29 of his 45 passes and averaged 7.4 yards per attempt.

Johnson reverted to the Jets' practice squad Saturday, per the NFL's official transaction log.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson played in Thursday night's loss to the Colts and completed 27 of 41 passes for 317 yards, three touchdowns and an interception. However, Joe Flacco will serve as the backup to Mike White during Sunday's matchup against the Bills.

Johnson entered the Jets' 45-30 loss to the Colts on Thursday night for Mike White (forearm) with 13:24 remaining in the second quarter and completed 27 of 41 passes for 317 yards with three touchdowns and one interception. He also rushed four times for 18 yards.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson's highly circuitous career took yet another interesting twist Thursday night with a surprisingly productive showing in relief. The ageless veteran was able to lead three scoring drives on consecutive possessions on the second half, finding Elijah Moore, Ty Johnson and Ryan Griffin for his trio of touchdown tosses. Johnson appeared to be on the verge of authoring yet another successful march when a batted pass led to an interception at the Colts' seven-yard line with 45 seconds remaining. Zach Wilson (knee) could have a chance to play in the Week 10 matchup against the Bills a week from Sunday, but if neither the first-round pick nor White are ready for that contest, Johnson would presumably be in line for another start.

The Jets have elevated Johnson from their practice squad in advance of Thursday night's game against the Colts.
EDGE Analysis
Per Rich Cimini of ESPN.com, it looks like Johnson is in line to be the Jets' No. 2 QB against the Colts on Thursday behind starter Mike White, with top signal-caller Zach Wilson (knee) having been ruled out for the contest.

Johnson reverted to the Jets' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transactions report.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson briefly took the field during Sunday's upset win over the Bengals while Mike White dealt with an issue on the sideline. Across five offensive snaps, Johnson completed two of four passes for 17 yards. In the event that Joe Flacco isn't ready in time for Thursday's game against the Colts, Johnson could bump up from the practice squad again and serve as White's backup.

Johnson briefly entered in the third quarter of Sunday's 34-31 win over the Bengals and completed two of four passes for 17 yards.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson entered after Mike White went in the blue tent following a big hit in the third quarter. He almost led a touchdown drive on the possession, but New York had to settle for a 24-yard field goal after Denzel Mims had a well-thrown ball go off his chest in the end zone. White was able to come back in for the next drive and ended up leading the Jets to a comeback win, but Johnson showed he's capable of holding his own if called upon. With New York next taking the field Thursday against the Colts, Johnson could find himself backing up White again if the newly acquired Joe Flacco still hasn't mastered the playbook.

Johnson has been elevated to the active roster ahead of Sunday's game against the Bengals, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson will back up Mike White with Zach Wilson (knee) out and Joe Flacco unlikely to be ready in time for the game after joining the team Monday. If the 35-year-old were to see action, it would be his first appearance in a game since 2018.

Johnson will likely be elevated from the practice squad to serve as the primary backup to Mike White during Sunday's contest against the Bengals, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Zach Wilson is expected to miss two to four weeks after suffering a sprained PCL in his right knee during the Jets' Week 7 loss to the Patriots. Mike White, who made his NFL debut Sunday, is expected to draw the start in Wilson's absence, but Johnson will likely be elevate from the practice squad to serve as the backup Sunday.
