The Titans have announced that Johnson is retiring, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson, a 2015 first-round pick, spent his first four seasons with the Texans before playing the previous two in Buffalo and Cleveland. He signed a one-year contract with the Titans in March but has not participated in any of the team's OTAs. We now have an answer why, as he has seemingly been contemplating retirement. The 28-year-old will end his career with 191 tackles (145 solo), 1.5 sacks, 22 passes defensed and one interception across 64 games.

Johnson signed a one-year deal with the Titans on Thursday according to his agent Drew Rosenhaus, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Signing with Tennessee permits Johnson the opportunity to face his former team of four years, the Texans, at least two times per season. Johnson has performed well as a rotational defensive back for Buffalo and Cleveland the past two years, containing opponents to a 60.2 percent completion rate while conceding only one touchdown pass over 88 targets.

The Browns activated Johnson (illness) from the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson and Denzel Ward both missed Cleveland's wild-card win over the Steelers, but will each now be available for Sunday's road matchup in Kansas City. The 28-year-old had six starts during the regular season, and he played a notable rotational role in seven other appearances.

Johnson won't be activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list for Sunday's wild-card game against the Steelers, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson and Denzel Ward will miss a second straight game while on the reserve list. Robert Jackson and Terrance Mitchell (personal), who is expected to play, are slated to start at cornerback against the Steelers' strong receiver corps.

Johnson tested positive for the coronavirus, which is why he was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Saturday, Albert Breer of TheMMQB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

It appears Johnson's positive tests surfaced Saturday, meaning he'll be out for the first round of playoffs as well, if the Browns make it. Denzel Ward is also on the reserve list, so Terrance Mitchell, Robert Jackson and Tavierre Thomas are expected to handle expanded roles in Sunday's matchup against the Steelers.

Johnson (undisclosed) was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

The 28-year-old will miss Sunday's matchup with the Steelers, which is a big loss since Denzel Ward (illness) is also on the COVID list. The Browns need to secure a spot in the playoffs for Johnson to have a chance of seeing the field again this season. A.J. Green was elevated to the active roster to bolster Cleveland's depth at cornerback.

Johnson (groin) is active for Sunday night's game against the Giants, Jake Trotter of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

With Denzel Ward recuperated from a calf injury and prepared to make his first appearance since Week 11, Johnson is expected to recede into a reduced role within Cleveland's secondary. The Wake Forest product has garnered starts over each of the Browns' past three games, but he's logged only two starts in eight mutual appearances alongside Ward this season.

Johnson (groin) is questionable for Sunday's game versus the Giants, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson was limited in practice all week, following the same regimen as Denzel Ward, who may return from a calf injury this week. Johnson will start at cornerback if Ward can't go. If neither player is available, Tavierre Thomas will make his first start since Week 4.

Johnson will start at cornerback Sunday at Jacksonville, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Denzel Ward is sidelined by a calf injury, and Johnson will step in to make his third start of the season. The 28-year-old has 25 total tackles, one pass defensed and one forced fumble through eight games in 2020.

Johnson made his season debut in Sunday's 34-20 win over Washington. He had three tackles and forced a fumble over 38 snaps (58 percent).

EDGE Analysis

Johnson, who had been dealing with an abdomen injury that forced him to miss the first two weeks, also played special teams Sunday. It looks like he's ready to handle a larger share of snaps Week 4 against Dallas. That will be a boost to the secondary, which is without Greedy Williams (shoulder) and lost Denzel Ward (groin) during the Week 3 win.
