Johnson logged 21 snaps in Sunday's 28-10 win over the Broncos but did not see a target.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson was active for the first time as a pro, but even with Justin Watson (shoulder) sidelined for Sunday's contest, the rookie didn't see a pass come his way. First-time active status was a step in the right direction for the fifth-round pick, but it remains to be seen if he'll have another opportunity to take the field in a Week 4 home matchup against the Chargers.

Johnson is active for the first time in his NFL career for Sunday's Week 3 tilt against the Broncos, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

The rookie still is buried down the depth chart, but he'll get his first chance to don a uniform on game day with Justin Watson (shoulder) out of action Sunday. Johnson will have an uphill battle for targets with Chris Godwin back on the field after missing Week 2 with a concussion, and the likes of Mike Evans, Scotty Miller and potentially Jaydon Mickens also ahead of him in the pecking order at receiver.

Johnson (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game versus the Panthers, Eduardo A. Encina of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson will be a healthy scratch for a second straight game to begin his NFL career. The Minnesota product posted an 86-1,318-13 line in his senior collegiate season, so while there's potential in the future, he may need more time to develop.

Johnson (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's Week 1 tilt against the Saints, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

The rookie fifth-round pick missed time early in camp due to injury and therefore is still behind the curve on learning the offense. With Mike Evans (hamstring) also managing to garner active status Sunday, Johnson's chances of suiting up fell even further. The Buccaneers opted to keep the more experienced Jaydon Mickens, who can also help on special teams, active as the No. 5 receiver versus New Orleans.

Johnson (undisclosed) is not listed on Wednesday's injury report.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson was plagued by an undisclosed injury throughout much of training camp, but he now looks on track for Sunday's season opener in New Orleans. The rookie fifth-round pick is listed behind Justin Watson as a backup to Mike Evans (hamstring) on the Buccaneers' unofficial depth chart, and as the overall co-No.5 receiver overall alongside Jaydon Mickens.

Johnson (undisclosed) was held out of practice Monday, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Coach Bruce Arians said Johnson is dealing with the same injury that caused him to miss the first week of practice. Arians hasn't elaborated on the nature of the injury, but he did note that the rookie wideout has "missed a ton" of practice time. Johnson appears unlikely to emerge ahead of Scotty Miller and Justin Watson in a competition for the No. 3 receiver job.

Johnson, who didn't participate in his first training camp practice until Wednesday due to what was described as a "soft=tissue" injury, has started to make an impression with his route running, Scott Smith of the team's official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

The rookie fifth-round pick is naturally way behind the curve, with coach Bruce Arians noting Johnson has "missed a ton." However, the fact he's now been able practice three days in a row certainly helps ignite the process of making up ground, and Johnson apparently caught Arians' eye in Thursday's session with a good grab on an inside-out route. In addition to the catching up he needs to do on mastering the Buccaneers' complex offensive scheme, Johnson also has his work cut out for him in terms of tunneling up the depth chart, considering both Scotty Miller and Justin Watson have reportedly been turning heads thus far.

Johnson (undisclosed) returned to practice Thursday, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Coach Bruce Arians said the young wideout "missed a ton" of work the past week, but Arians also mentioned that Johnson had a standout play on an inside-out route during Thursday's session. The rookie fifth-round pick is expected to battle Scotty Miller and Justin Watson for the Bucs' No. 3 receiver job, albeit with Miller shaping up as the early favorite.

Johnson didn't practice Thursday due to a "soft-tissue injury", Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

In the early stages of training camp, the Buccaneers likely are being cautious with the rookie fifth-rounder. Johnson has a tough path to snaps and targets in a receiving corps composed of Mike Evans, Chris Godwin, Rob Gronkowski and O.J. Howard. Having said that, Johnson may flash occasionally in 2020 if he can build a rapport with Tom Brady. In his last two collegiate seasons at Minnesota, Johnson averaged 15.2 YPC and 9.9 YPT.

Johnson, whom the Buccaneers selected in the fifth round of the 2020 draft, demonstrated a high degree of proficiency near the goal line during his college career, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Minnesota product saw his stock take a relatively unexpected dip before Tampa nabbed him, as Johnson boasts the numbers befitting a significantly higher draft slotting. The former Golden Gopher frequently was a force from the 20-yard line in, leading all Power 5 schools in red-zone catches, red-zone receiving yards (320) and red-zone touchdowns (23) from 2016 through 2019 while also setting the pace for that large grouping of schools in receiving yards over the last four combined seasons. While Johnson's speed isn't exactly a strong point -- which Laine notes makes him a less-than-direct replacement for the departed Breshad Perriman -- his above-average hands, concentration and body control give him plenty of tools to work with as he starts his NFL career.
