Johnson (shoulder) spent the entire 2019 season on injured reserve and did not appear in any games.
EDGE Analysis
The Packers waived an injured Johnson last August, but he did not receive any interest from other teams and instead spent the season on injured reserve. It remains to be seen if he'll return to Green Bay or look for an opportunity with another team during the offseason.

Johnson (shoulder) has reverted to the Packers' injured reserve, per the NFL's official transaction log.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson was originally waived with an injury settlement, but there were not any takers on the wire. Thus, he is set to watch the season from the sidelines unless both he and the Packers can come to terms on an injury settlement.

Johnson (shoulder) was waived/injured by the Packers on Friday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
It remains unknown how Johnson suffered his shoulder injury, but he doesn't appear to be facing a long-term recovery. The 2015 sixth-round pick is a candidate to receive an injury settlement, which would allow him to search for a job elsewhere in the league when back to full health.

Johnson (groin) returned to practice Sunday, Ryan Wing of Fox 11 reports.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson missed about a week of action because of his injury, but he was able to get back on the field Sunday. Top fullback Danny Vitale (calf) remains sidelined, but another fullback -- Tommy Bohanon -- was added to the mix, so the two figure to split the fullback duties at practice until Vitale is ready to get back on the field.

Johnson is nursing an undisclosed groin injury, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
With Danny Vitale (calf) also sidelined due to injury, Green Bay elected to ink another fullback to the 90-man roster in the form of Tommy Bohanon. Johnson faces an uphill battle to earn a spot on the active roster, and will work to return to practice as soon as possible.

The 49ers waived Johnson (undisclosed) from injured reserve Saturday, per the league's official transaction.
EDGE Analysis
The move came as a result of the Niners and Johnson reaching an injury settlement. Johnson last suited up in 2016, playing seven games for the Browns and rushing once for two yards. He'll be free to sign with another team once he's healthy.

Johnson (undisclosed) cleared waivers and reverted to injured reserve, according to the league's official transaction log.

Johnson (undisclosed) was waived/injured by the 49ers on Saturday, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson signed a reserve/future contract with the 49ers back in January after appearing in just 19 NFL games across three seasons. He didn't log a single snap in 2017, and he will now be placed on the team's injured reserve once he clears waivers.

The 49ers signed Johnson to a reserve/future contract Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson, who has appeared in 19 NFL games during his three-year career, didn't log a single snap in 2017 after being waived by the Seahawks prior to training camp. With Kyle Juszczyk locked in as the 49ers' fullback, Johnson looks like he'll be little more than a camp body for San Francisco if he sticks on the roster through this summer.
