Johnson (groin) was limited at practice Thursday, Michael Gehlken of the San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
After practicing fully Wednesday, Johnson was limited Thursday, which clouds the wideout's status for Sunday's game against the Broncos. Johnson last saw action in Week 13 and has since missed the Chargers' last three games.

Johnson (groin) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Raiders.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson, who last played on Dec. 6, was limited at practice this week, with his Week 16 status unlikely to be confirmed until the release of the Chargers' inactives in advance of Thursday's 8:25 ET kickoff.

Johnson (groin) practiced on a limited basis Tuesday, Vic Tafur of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
In his first practice since injuring his groin on Dec. 6, Johnson backed up Monday's estimated injury report, which listed him as limited. Fitting in individual drills is certainly an encouraging development, but he doesn't have much time to build up his conditioning with the Chargers taking the field Thursday in Oakland. If he returns, though, his experience would bode well for his potential in a WR corps composed of Malcom Floyd, Dontrelle Inman, and Javontee Herndon, among others.

Johnson (groin) returned to practice Tuesday, Michael Gehlken of the San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson is practicing for the first time since suffering a groin injury in Week 13. His return would be a welcome development for the San Diego offense, as the unit has relied on inexperienced wideouts -- namely Dontrelle Inman and Javontee Herndon -- alongside Malcom Floyd the past couple weeks. Johnson will probably be the favorite to lead his team in targets if he's able to return for Thursday's favorable matchup in Oakland. However, the short week could make it tough for him to be ready, perhaps delaying a return until the regular-season finale.

WR FA
Johnson (groin) is listed as limited on Monday's injury report.
EDGE Analysis
Although the Chargers didn't hold practice to kick off Week 16 prep, an estimation of reps was required by the league. Johnson received a limited designation, which he'll attempt to build upon in his quest to return from a two-game absence Thursday at Oakland.

Johnson (groin) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson will sit this one out, though the Chargers' offense will welcome Dontrelle Inman back to their Week 15 wideout corps, which also includes Malcom Floyd and Javontee Herndon.

Johnson (groin) did not practice Friday and is considered doubtful for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson was sidelined for practice all this week, making him unlikely to face the Dolphins. With him out, Javontee Herndon (shoulder) and Dontrelle Inman (neck) could enjoy larger receiving roles, should they both clear their probable tags.

Johnson (groin) was a non-participant at Thursday's practice.
EDGE Analysis
Still unable to practice, Johnson is looking shaky for Sunday's favorable matchup with the Dolphins, after sitting out a Week 14 loss to the Chiefs. The Chargers do seem to have some help on the way, with Dontrelle Inman (neck) logging full practices both Wednesday and Thursday. Javontee Herndon (shoulder) was also a full participant at Thursday's session.

Johnson (groin) did not practice Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson remains iffy for Sunday's game against the Dolphins and Javontee Herndon is now banged up, but the Chargers' wideout corps at least saw a boost Wednesday when Dontrelle Inman returned to a full practice.
