News

  • Two touches Sunday

    Johnson carried the ball once for two yards and caught his only target for seven yards in Sunday's 37-14 loss to the Cardinals.

    Analysis: Despite the fact Nick Chubb (calf) was inactive, Johnson didn't see much of a role behind Kareem Hunt in the Cleveland backfield. However, Hunt also left Sunday's game with a calf issue after coming into the contest already dealing with wrist and knee injuries, and if neither of the Browns' two elite RBs are able to suit up for a Week 7 clash with the Broncos, Johnson could find himself with a significant role, perhaps as the early-down option with rookie Demetric Felton handling passing downs.

  • In line for increased snaps

    Johnson is expected to be active for Sunday's game against the Cardinals as a reserve running back behind top option Kareem Hunt (wrist/knee), Jared Mueller of USA Today reports.

    Analysis: Nick Chubb (calf) has been ruled out of the game, which creates an opportunity for Johnson, who has played just eight snaps on offense in 2021. Hunt is slated to take the lead back role, but he was hampered by knee and wrist injuries during practice and is listed as questionable for the contest. Should those injuries hinder Hunt or prompt the Browns to ease up on his workload, Johnson and Demetric Felton are poised to step in.

  • Used on special teams only

    Johnson did not have an offensive snap and was on the field for 19 snaps on special teams during Sunday's 14-7 win over Minnesota.

    Analysis: This was second time in four games Johnson wasn't part of the offense, and he has a total of eight offensive snaps and two carries through four games. He'd likely be first in line for duty should anything happen to Nick Chubb or Kareem Hunt. Rookie Demetric Felton has more offensive snaps than Johnson, but the latter has more time in the system and is a more traditional running back, while Felton is viewed more as a gadget player.

  • Gets first carries

    Johnson had two carries for nine yards in Sunday's 26-6 win over Chicago.

    Analysis: Johnson was part of the grouping that came in on for the final series of the game. Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt helped seal the game, as Cleveland posted 13 fourth-quarter points and rested its regulars while Johnson got his first carries of the season.

  • Plays on special teams

    Johnson did not play on offense and was on the field for 16 special teams snaps in Sunday's 33-29 loss to the Chiefs.

    Analysis: It's not surprising Johnson didn't get a snap on offense, as he sits behind Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt on the depth chart. It was uncertain entering the game if he would have a role as a returner, but he watched rookie Demetric Felton handle the return duties on kickoffs and punts Week 1.

  • Gets first reps

    Johnson rushed four times for 36 yards and caught four of five targets for 23 yards in Sunday's 17-13 preseason win over the Giants.

    Analysis: Johnson was Cleveland's first tailback to feature Sunday, and he did well with his workload. Along with totaling nearly 60 total yards, Johnson also recovered a fumble by quarterback Kyle Lauletta. Although John Kelly impressed with nine carries for 58 yards and a touchdown after Johnson exited, the USF product at least helped himself heading into what could be a crucial preseason finale next Sunday in his quest to earn a roster spot behind Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt.

  • Starts preseason opener

    Johnson had five carries for 14 yards and caught two of three targets for 28 yards in Saturday's 23-13 win over Jacksonville in preseason Week 1.

    Analysis: Neither Nick Chubb nor Kareem Hunt played the exhibition opener, so Johnson got the start for the Browns, which is understandable as the team's third back on the depth chart. Notably, Johnson didn't return kicks or punts, but that could be attributed to Johnson having to play a heavy load (for preseason) on offense.

  • Back with team

    Johnson (personal) is back with the team at training camp, Anthony Poisal of the Browns' official site reports.

    Analysis: Johnson has been getting most of his work in camp as a returner. He's joined by Donovan Peoples-Jones, JoJo Natson, Ryan Switzer and Demetric Felton as potential return men.

  • Away from team

    Johnson wasn't present for the start of training camp Wednesday while attending the birth of his first child, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Cleveland head coach Kevin Stefanski said Johnson should return to the team by the end of the week.

  • Plays familiar role in playoff loss

    Johnson did not play on offense and returned two kickoffs for 37 yards in Sunday's 22-17 playoff loss to Kansas City.

    Analysis: Johnson was a distant third on the depth chart behind Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt all season while appearing in all 16 regular-season games and both playoff contests. He had 33 carries for 166 yards while playing 81 snaps. Both Chubb and Hunt are under contract for 2021, so no change is expected for the running back depth chart. Johnson will be the primary kick and punt returner entering 2021 training camp, but teams typically bring in other candidates to challenge for return jobs.

  • Returns all kicks

    Johnson returned three kickoffs for 79 yards and two punts for 13 yards in Sunday's 23-16 loss to the Jets.

    Analysis: Johnson is normally Cleveland's kickoff returner, but he took on an added role on punt returns Sunday with Donovan Peoples-Jones added to the COVID-19 list for the game.

  • Ready for Week 16

    Johnson (groin) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Jets, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

    Analysis: The 24-year-old was limited by the groin injury at the start of the week, but he put in a full practice Friday to avoid the questionable tag. Johnson should handle kick return duties and work as Cleveland's No. 3 running back behind Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt on Sunday.

  • Dealing with groin injury

    Johnson was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice due to a groin injury, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

    Analysis: Johnson finished out last Sunday's win over the Giants to provide Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt with some rest, logging four carries for 24 yards. The 24-year-old appears to have gotten nicked up in the process, but he'll have two more chances to upgrade his activity in practice ahead of a Week 16 road game against the Jets.

  • Finishes game

    Johnson had four carries for 24 yards and returned one kickoff for 16 yards in Sunday's 20-6 win over the Giants.

    Analysis: Johnson had his first carries since Week 8, finishing the game on the Browns' final drive rather than risk injury to either Nick Chubb or Kareem Hunt. Since Chubb returned from an injury following a Week 9 bye, Johnson's been relegated to kick return duty.

  • Makes special teams impact

    Johnson averaged 31 yards on three kickoff returns in Sunday's 27-25 win over Jacksonville.

    Analysis: Johnson, who played three snaps as a running back, has fallen off the offensive radar since Nick Chubb returned from a knee injury, but he's resurfaced as the Browns' primary kick returner. He had 43-yard and 32-yard returns that put the Browns in position to respond to Jacksonville scores with their own points. As long as Chubb and Kareem Hunt stay healthy, Johnson will have to make contributions on special teams.

  • Little use on offense

    Johnson played one snap on offense and five special-team snaps in Sunday's 22-17 win over the Eagles.

    Analysis: While the Browns have become a run-dominant team, all the attention goes to Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt. Johnson's played one offensive snap since Chubb's return to the active roster Week 10. Johnson did lead the team in kickoff returns Sunday, getting two chances (40 yards) while rookie Donovan Peoples-Jones had one (30 yards).

  • No carries with Nick Chubb's return

    Johnson garnered zero offensive snaps and five special-teams snaps during Sunday's 10-7 win against the Texans.

    Analysis: With Nick Chubb returning from a knee injury that had held him out since Oct. 4, Johnson was relegated to a special-teams role. Johnson's involvement in the offense had been fading in recent appearances, as he only accumulated 51 scrimmage yards on 17 combined offensive touches Weeks 5 through 10, after racking up 95 yards on 13 carries in the game in which Chubb went down against the Cowboys in Week 4. Heading into a matchup against the Eagles, Johnson sits a distant third on Cleveland's RB…read more

  • Three touches in loss

    Johnson carried twice for six yards and caught his lone target for five yards in Sunday's 16-6 loss to the Raiders.

    Analysis: Johnson's had a total of 17 touches in the four games since a breakout performance in the Week 4 win over Dallas. With a bye week looming and Nick Chubb (knee) eligible to return from injured reserve in Week 10, the loss to Las Vegas may have signified the window shutting on Johnson's offensive relevance.

  • One touch in win

    Johnson had one carry for three yards and was not targeted in Sunday's 37-34 win over the Bengals.

    Analysis: Since a 95-yard outburst in Week 4's win over the Cowboys, Johnson's had fewer touches in each successive week. He's gone from 13 touches to nine to four and now one as Kareem Hunt demonstrates he can handle a hefty workload. Johnson's window of opportunity is likely closing soon -- the Browns are at home Week 8 against Las Vegas before a bye week, and Nick Chubb (knee) is expected to return soon after that, which will relegate Johnson to No. 3 on the depth chart.

  • No room, little role in Week 6 loss

    Johnson carried four times for one yard and was targeted once in Sunday's 38-7 loss to Pittsburgh.

    Analysis: Johnson and the rest of the running backs had few holes to hit and were of little need in Sunday's blowout. With Nick Chubb (knee) sidelined and Kareem Hunt (3.4 YPC) bottled up the last two games, there's opportunity for Johnson or Dontrell Hilliard to claim a larger role next week against the Bengals, who allow 142.3 rushing yards per game.

  • Modest production in win

    Johnson had eight carries for 32 yards and caught his lone target for four yards in Sunday's 32-23 win over the Colts.

    Analysis: Twenty-eight of Johnson's 32 yards came on one carry, but it was at an important time. The Browns were nursing a one-score lead and faced a third down with a little more than two minutes remaining when Johnson's run gave them a first down and put them in position for an eventual insurance field goal. Johnson moved up to second on the depth chart behind Kareem Hunt, as the Browns cope with the loss to Nick Chubb (knee). Coming off a 95-yard effort in Week 4, Johnson had cache heading into Week…read more

  • Looking at prime opportunity

    Johnson could handle a significant role on offense with Nick Chubb (knee) on IR and expected to miss about six weeks, Jake Trotter of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Johnson worked alongside Kareem Hunt after Chubb was forced out of Cleveland's Week 4 win over the Cowboys, and he impressed while turning 13 carries into 95 yards. Though Kareem Hunt (groin) is the clear favorite to lead the Browns' backfield until late November, at which point Chubb could return, it wouldn't be out of the question for Johnson to see somewhere in the range of ten carries a week in one of the league's most potent rushing attacks. Additionally, Johnson would stand to inherit a…read more

  • Runs for 95 yards

    Johnson carried 13 times for 95 yards during Sunday's 49-38 win over the Cowboys.

    Analysis: Johnson got involved in the offense after Nick Chubb (knee) left with an injury and gashed the Dallas defense for 7.3 yards per carry. His long gain went for 28 yards and he impressively finished with more carries than Kareem Hunt, who found the end zone twice on the day. Chubb was able to walk off under his own power, but the extent of his injury remains to be seen. If he is forced to sit out next Sunday's matchup with the Colts, Johnson could receive a healthy workload as a complementary…read more

  • Fills in as returner

    Johnson entered Sunday's game as the primary returner after JoJo Natson left in the second quarter due to a knee injury.

    Analysis: Johnson gained zero yards on one punt return in the third quarter. He's played just three percent of the offensive snaps in 2020, so any contributions Johnson can make will likely come on special teams.

  • Wins roster spot

    Johnson made the Browns' 53-man roster, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

    Analysis: Johnson slots in at third on the depth chart behind Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt. He beat out Dontrell Hilliard, who could return as a member of the practice squad. Johnson also has experience as a kick returner. He had four carries and seven targets in 16 games last season.

  • Kickoff return leads to score

    Johnson returned two kickoffs for 76 yards and one punt for nine yards in a 33-23 loss to the Bengals in Week 17.

    Analysis: Johnson returned the opening kickoff 47 yards, setting up Cleveland's first score 81 seconds into the game. The 23-year-old running back had some early contributions on offense in 2019 while Dontrell Hilliard was sidelined due to a concussion and while Kareem Hunt served an eight-game suspension. Once those two backs were available, however, Johnson mainly became a special-teams contributor. The all-purpose back from South Florida is under team control for another two seasons, so he's expected…read more
