2019
Johnson, a key offseason signing in 2022, played in just eight games before suffering a major knee injury that kept him out for the rest of the season. That same injury will keep him on the PUP list to begin training camp and it's possible Johnson might fight to establish consistent playing time along the interior of the defensive line.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Return date uncertain
Johnson, who suffered a season-ending knee injury in Week 9 of the 2022 campaign, isn't certain to be ready for mandatory minicamp in June or the start of training camp in late July, Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
A 2016 second-round pick of the Titans, he compiled 22 tackles, including a sack, through eight games before going down with the injury. Johnson's absence during the second half of the season robbed the Chargers of a key veteran run-stopping presence, helping lead to Los Angeles allowing 144.2 rushing yards per game. The Bolts signed fellow veteran tackle Nick Williams on Friday to help insure against Johnson not being available until later in training camp.
