Johnson (concussion) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Texans plan to designate Johnson for return, meaning he can return to game action in eight weeks. After dealing with a concussion during the preseason, Johnson suffered a second concussion during Sunday's loss to the Patriots.

Johnson (concussion) is expected to be sidelined for 4-to-6 weeks, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

With the given timetable, Johnson is a candidate to be placed on injured reserve with the chance to return, which would also allow the Texans to sign another defensive back while Johnson is sidelined. This is the second concussion Johnson has suffered in the last month, so Houston will have to be extra cautious with the young cornerback while he recovers. In Johnson's absence, Aaron Colvin is the most likely replacement to line up at cornerback across from Johnathan Joseph.

Texans' head coach Bill O'Brien said that Johnson's concussion is concerning, and the cornerback will be out for a while, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson suffered the concussion in the preseason and hasn't been able to get back to the practice field. Head injuries are often difficult to set concrete timetables for, but it seems safe to say that Johnson will be out for a couple more weeks at the very least.

Johnson suffered a concussion and will not return Sunday against the Patriots.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson had sustained a concussion earlier this preseason, and in the 2017 season. He should be considered questionable for Week 2's matchup against the Titans, and it would not be surprising if Houston takes a cautious approach to Johnson's recovery.

Johnson has been cleared from concussion protocol, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson is thus ready to take the field in Sunday's season opener against the Patriots in a game the cornerback will be allowed to handle a normal amount of snaps, per head coach Bill O'Brien. Don't count on him for worthwhile IDP production, though, as the underperforming 2015 first-rounder faces a tough Week 1 matchup against a Tom Brady-led offense that averaged 7.9 yards per pass attempt in 2017.

Johnson (concussion) was a limited participant in practice and is expected to clear the concussion protocol Wednesday, James Palmer of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson has not participated in practice since suffering a concussion during the Texans' second preseason game against the 49ers. The 26-year-old, who earned praise for his growth this offseason, is expected to suit up as a starter opposite Jonathan Joseph for the season opener against the Patriots on Sunday.

Johnson (concussion) is expected back for the season-opener against the Patriots, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson suffered a concussion during the Texans' second preseason game against the 49ers and hasn't played or practiced since. Coach Bill O'Brien said he's expecting Johnson to practice Wednesday and to be cleared under the NFL concussion protocol. As a backup plan, Wilson reports the Texans worked out four cornerbacks Monday.

The Texans worked out a pair of cornerbacks Monday while Johnson remains in the NFL's concussion protocol, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Free agents Teddy Williams and Zack Sanchez auditioned for the Texans, suggesting Johnson may not be available for the third preseason game against the Rams on Saturday. "Kevin is doing good," Texans coach Bill O'Brien said. "Kevin was in here, doing better. Yes, he's doing much better." Neither free agent was handed a contract, though O'Brien said Houston decision-makers were "talking about that."

Johnson will not return to Saturday's game against the 49ers after suffering a concussion.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson must clear the league's concussion protocol before potentially returning to practice throughout the upcoming week, while his status for Week 3 of the preseason is now in jeopardy. There could be additional opportunities for Aaron Colvin and Johnson Bademosi to work with the first-team defense alongside veteran Johnathan Joseph during Johnson's absence.

Johnson enters training camp for the first time in three seasons without having undergone offseason surgery, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson was healthy coming out of the college when he participated in his first training camp, but has since dealt with a slew of injuries and surgeries, some of which impacted his preparation for training camp. "He's had a good offseason and he's come back in great shape," Texans coach Bill O'Brien said. "You know, it takes a while. You come in as a rookie and experience some injuries, it takes a while to develop your game at this level. He's come in and had a really good offseason, so it's good to see." Johnson will continue to serve as the third cornerback despite the addition of free-agent cornerback Aaron Colvin to well-established core of defensive backs. The Texans moved incumbent starter Kareem Jackson to safety, so Johnson, Colvin and Jonathan Joseph will make up the top three corners.
