Eagles Sign Kerryon Johnson To Practice Squad rotoballer.com Tue 12/28/21 6:36 PM

The Philadelphia Eagles signed running back Kerryon Johnson and offensive lineman Luke Juriga to their practice squad on Tuesday and released kicker Matt McCrane from the practice squad in a corresponding move. Johnson saw nine special teams snaps with the San Francisco 49ers in Week 3, but otherwise has been making the rounds as a free agent trying out for running back-needy teams. Miles Sanders broke his hand in the Week 16 win over the New York Giants and was already ruled out for Week 17 ...

Kerryon Johnson Works Out For Jaguars rotoballer.com Wed 12/15/21 9:40 PM

The Jacksonville Jaguars worked out running back Kerryon Johnson on Wednesday. Veteran back Carlos Hyde (concussion) sat out of Wednesday's practice. That means, Dare Ogunbowale is the backup right now for Week 15. On paper, it makes sense for the Jaguars to attempt to find more depth behind James Robinson. However, Johnson hasn't played all season and it's uncertain what he'd bring to the table. He had some success with the Detroit Lions, but hasn't played in 2021. It's unlikely Johnson would ...

Vikings Work Out Kerryon Johnson Tuesday rotoballer.com Tue 11/30/21 8:39 PM

The Minnesota Vikings had free-agent running back Kerryon Johnson in for a workout on Tuesday. Starting running back Dalvin Cook (shoulder) suffered a dislocated left shoulder and a torn labrum in the Week 12 loss to the San Francisco 49ers and is expected to miss at least the next two games, leaving the Vikings looking for more RB depth behind Alexander Mattison and rookie Kene Nwangwu. With Cook sidelined for the next couple of weeks, expect Mattison to see most of the backfield work with ...

Packers Work Out Kerryon Johnson rotoballer.com Tue 11/16/21 7:27 PM

The Green Bay Packers worked out former Detroit Lions running back Kerryon Johnson on Tuesday. The Packers are in need of some running back depth with Aaron Jones (knee) expected to miss one to two weeks after suffering an MCL sprain in the Week 10 win over the Seattle Seahawks. Johnson was active for one game with the San Francisco 49ers in Week 3 but played just nine special teams snaps before being cut in early October. If he is signed by Green Bay, he's unlikely to have much of a role ...

Washington Works Out Kerryon Johnson, D'Onta Foreman rotoballer.com Tue 10/26/21 5:02 PM

The Washington Football Team worked out free-agent running backs Kerryon Johnson and D'Onta Foreman on Tuesday. It remains to be seen if Washington will sign one of them, but this could mean that primary running back Antonio Gibson's (shin) injury is more serious than we think. Gibson has been playing through a hairline fracture in his shin for weeks now, but his production has dropped considerably in the last three weeks, gaining 3.52 yards per carry on his 44 rushing attempts in that span. ...

49ers Cut Kerryon Johnson, Chris Thompson rotoballer.com Tue 10/5/21 8:07 PM

The San Francisco 49ers cut running backs Kerryon Johnson and Chris Thompson and linebacker Curtis Bolton on Tuesday to make room on the practice squad for tight end Jordan Matthews and two other potential additions. Johnson was waived by the Detroit Lions in the offseason and joined the 49ers last month, but he never saw a single touch in the lone game he was active in Week 3 against the Green Bay Packers. It's not a good sign that Johnson didn't factor into a 49ers backfield that was ...

While certain players don't seem to carry much value in the near future, they could be on the verge of breaking ...

Kerryon Johnson Promoted To Active Roster rotoballer.com Sat 9/25/21 7:49 PM

San Francisco 49ers running back Kerryon Johnson has been promoted to the active roster. Johnson had been a member of the practice squad for the last few weeks. However, with the injuries to Elijah Mitchell (shoulder) and JaMycal Hasty (ankle), the veteran may provide relief for Trey Sermon (concussion), who is anticipated to handle most of the work against the Packers on Sunday night. Still, Johnson and Jacques Patrick could get a few touches in Week 3, classifying them as borderline adds ...

Kerryon Johnson Could Have A Role In Week 3 rotoballer.com Sun 9/19/21 9:02 PM

San Francisco 49ers running back Kerryon Johnson could get some action during the upcoming Sunday Night Football matchup against the Green Bay Packers. The veteran, who was waived by the Philadelphia Eagles back in August, was recently signed to the practice squad. With Trey Sermon (concussion), Elijah Mitchell (shoulder), and JaMycal Hasty (ankle) all in danger of sitting out in Week 3, Johnson could be of value for those looking for a short-term problem in deeper formats. Fantasy managers ...
