Johnson (undisclosed) was placed on injured reserve Saturday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran tackle hasn't appeared in an NFL game since 2020 and now, he won't get the opportunity to for the immediate future. Johnson has been battling to make the Eagle's active roster as a depth piece on their offensive line but his chances just worsened. The 27-year-old will now be forced to miss Philadelphia's entire 2023 campaign unless he's released with injury settlement.

The Texans released Johnson on Wednesday after activating him from the reserve/COVID-19 list, NFL reporter Aaron Wilson reports.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson landed on the COVID-19 list as a close contact Aug. 13. Over the last three seasons, Johnson appeared in 19 total games for Houston.

Johnson was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Friday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

It's not yet known whether Johnson has tested positive for the virus, but he'll join two of his fellow offensive linemen on the COVID-19 list ahead of Saturday's preseason game against Green Bay. His status for Houston's second preseason game against the Cowboys on Aug. 21 depends on how quickly he can clear the league's health and safety protocols.

Johnson signed a one-year contract with the Texans on Saturday, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson made three starts for the Texans last season. He'll serve as the primary backup for offensive tackles Laremy Tunsil (ankle) and Tytus Howard in 2021.

Johnson will replace Tytus Howard (concussion) at right tackle against the Bengals on Sunday, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Howard was placed on injured reserve and will miss the rest of the season, so Johnson will start at right tackle the final two games.

The Texans signed Johnson to a one-year, $1.75 million contract Friday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson stands to provide the Texans with key depth at offensive tackle behind Laremy Tunsil (shoulder) and Tytus Howard (knee). He started three games for Houston last season.

Johnson (neck) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Raiders.

EDGE Analysis

With Tytus Howard (knee) already ruled out, Johnson is expected to start at right guard if he's active. Dan Skipper is the next man up if Johnson can't go.

Johnson left Sunday's game against the Colts with a stinger.

EDGE Analysis

The 2017 fifth-round pick exited during the second half and is questionable to return. Johnson was filling in at right tackle for Tytus Howard (knee), leaving the recently-signed Dan Skipper as the next man up.

Johnson entered Sunday's win over the Chiefs when rookie right tackle Tytus Howard (knee) was removed from the game, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson was flagged for an illegal formation penalty but filled in capably for Howard. The offensive line did not allow a sack for the second straight week, and the team had a season-high 192 rushing yards (4.7 YPC). Howard's injury is described as a partially torn medial collateral ligament, which will not require surgery but is expected to sideline him indefinitely.

Johnson was promoted to the Texans' 53-man roster Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson spent three weeks on the active roster in September, but was inactive for all three games. The 23-year-old provides some depth for the offensive line with Zach Fulton out with a hand injury.
