News

  • No targets in Week 6 win

    Johnson did not log a target over 12 snaps in the Buccaneers' 28-22 win over the Eagles on Thursday night.

    Analysis: The reserve second-year wideout couldn't crack the stat sheet after posting a solid 3-42 line in Week 5 against the Dolphins. Given the healthy talent at receiver in front of him, Johnson's production will likely remain volatile on a week-to-week basis unless multiple injuries strike the position.

  • Bounces back with three grabs

    Johnson brought in all three of his targets for 42 yards in the Buccaneers' 45-17 win over the Dolphins on Sunday.

    Analysis: The second-year wideout got blanked in Week 4 after an encouraging 3-63 line in Week 3 against the Rams while Antonio Brown was on the reserve-COVID-19 list, so it was encouraging to see him reemerge to an extent Sunday. Johnson has seven receptions for 110 yards through five games this season after logging 12 receptions across 14 contests as a rookie, and he should continue seeing sporadic complementary opportunities as the No. 4 wideout while Scotty Miller (toe) remains sidelined.

  • Catchless in Week 4 win

    Johnson failed to come up with either of his two targets in the Buccaneers' 19-17 win over the Patriots on Sunday night. He also returned one kickoff for 10 yards.

    Analysis: A week after producing an encouraging 3-63 line against the Rams in a Week 3 loss, Johnson came up empty even with Scotty Miller (toe) on injured reserve. Antonio Brown's return from a one-game absence due to a stint on the reserve/COVID-19 list and bad weather helped play a part in Johnson's downturn. His role seems unlikely to increase versus the Dolphins in Week 5.

  • Solid showing in loss

    Johnson secured three of six targets for 63 yards in the Buccaneers' 34-24 loss to the Rams on Sunday.

    Analysis: The second-year wideout was afforded an expanded opportunity with Antonio Brown (reserve/COVID-19) sidelined, and he came through in impressive fashion with a career-best receiving yardage total. Johnson's tally in that category also was good for third on the Buccaneers behind only Mike Evans and Chris Godwin, making it an all-around encouraging performance in a disappointing afternoon from a team perspective. Johnson even outpaced the more experienced Scotty Miller in snaps by a narrow 34-32…read more

  • Records first catch of season

    Johnson secured one of two targets for five yards across 17 snaps from scrimmage during the Buccaneers' 48-25 win over the Falcons on Sunday.

    Analysis: Through two games, Johnson has logged three targets overall, and he could be set for a nice bump in opportunity in a Week 3 showdown against the Rams. With Antonio Brown being placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday, there's a strong chance the veteran wideout misses at least the game versus Los Angeles, a development that would elevate Johnson to No. 4 receiver status, at minimum. It's also likely Johnson could essentially share No. 3 duties with Scotty Miller in such a scenario,…read more

  • No catches in opener

    Johnson failed to come up with his only target during the Buccaneers' 31-29 win over the Cowboys on Thursday.

    Analysis: The second-year wideout logged just three snaps from scrimmage, so the lack of action on offense was unsurprising. Johnson's empty stat line could unfortunately be par from the course for him on many weeks while the top wideout trio of Mike Evans, Chris Godwin and Antonio Brown is healthy.

  • Another solid showing Saturday

    Johnson secured both of his targets for 16 yards in the Buccaneers' 23-16 preseason win over the Texans on Saturday night.

    Analysis: The second-year wideout posted his second straight two-reception tally of the preseason and finished with five catches overall across three exhibition games. Johnson appears to be on solid footing to start making inroads into some No. 4 receiver snaps as the coming season unfolds, reps he'd presumably be sharing with Scotty Miller and, perhaps to a lesser extent, rookie Jaelon Darden. Johnson's first chance to start carving out a bigger role comes in the Week 1 battle against the Cowboys on…read more

  • Pair of grabs in preseason loss

    Johnson secured two of three targets for 21 yards in the Buccaneers' 34-3 preseason loss to the Titans on Saturday night.

    Analysis: The second-year wideout is fighting to carve out a bigger role in 2021 after seeing action in 14 games last season, and he's currently in position to potentially eat into some of Scotty Miller's No. 4 receiver snaps as the season unfolds. Johnson also brought in one of two targets for 11 yards in the exhibition opener against the Bengals and has done more with his three catches than Miller has with his trio of grabs over the first two preseason games. Johnson may have an extended opportunity to…read more

  • Back at practice Tuesday

    Johnson returned to practice Tuesday after a false positive COVID-19 test result, Carmen Vitali of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

    Analysis: The second-year wideout and safety Antoine Winfield both produced what now appear to have been false positives on Sunday, leading to both missing Monday's session. Johnson was active Tuesday, however, with Vitali noting that he got "quite a bit of work" in and made a particularly impressive catch on a Tom Brady pass in one of the day's 11-on-11 periods. Having produced a 12-169-12 line over 265 offensive snaps as a rookie, Johnson could have a slightly clearer path to more playing time this…read more

  • Quiet in Super Bowl LV win

    Johnson failed to bring in his only target during the Buccaneers' 31-9 win over the Chiefs during Super Bowl LV on Sunday.

    Analysis: Unlike the divisional-round and NFC Championship Game wins over the Saints and Packers, Johnson was unable to make an appearance on the stat sheet Sunday. However, the rookie did record one reception for double-digit yardage in four of the five games leading into Super Bowl LV, and he finished the regular campaign with 12 catches for 169 yards and two touchdowns. The 22-year-old was unsurprisingly buried on the depth chart for most of his first pro season, particularly after Antonio Brown was…read more

  • Key role in NFC title game

    Johnson secured one of two targets for 16 yards in the Buccaneers' 31-26 win over the Packers in Sunday's NFC Championship Game.

    Analysis: The rookie made another one of his trademark contested catches on a Tom Brady bullet in the second half, but it was the one ball he didn't bring in that was arguably even more prominent. Facing a third-and-4 with 1:46 remaining and trying to preserve a five-point lead, Brady surprisingly targeted Johnson on a right-to-left crossing route. Johnson got some separation from the trailing Kevin King, which caused the latter to grab hold of the wideout's undershirt and draw a critical pass…read more

  • Could see additional run Sunday

    Johnson could benefit from expanded opportunity in Sunday's NFC Championship Game against the Packers with Antonio Brown (knee) ruled out for the contest, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: The rookie logged 15 snaps in Sunday's divisional-round win over the Saints with Brown spending the majority of the second half on the sideline, with his one reception an impressive 15-yard grab on third down. Johnson was able to get a fair amount of experience during the regular season despite recording just 12 catches, logging 265 snaps from scrimmage over 14 games. Tom Brady showed some trust in Johnson in the red zone as well, with four of the 2020 fifth-round pick's 17 targets coming in…read more

  • Makes acrobatic catch in win

    Johnson secured his only target for a 15-yard reception in the Buccaneers' 30-20 divisional-round win over the Saints on Sunday.

    Analysis: The rookie's one grab stood out, as Johnson exhibited excellent control, getting in near-parallel position to the ground while making a difficult catch away from his body and then maintaining a secure grasp of the ball as he went down. Johnson logged 15 snaps overall while helping fill in for Antonio Brown, who appeared to spend large portions of the second half on the sideline with what was later labeled as a knee issue. If Brown is limited again or ruled out for Sunday's NFC Championship Game…read more

  • One catch in season-ending win

    Johnson brought in one of two targets for a 16-yard reception in the Buccaneers' 44-27 win over the Falcons on Sunday.

    Analysis: The rookie saw some opportunities with Mike Evans (knee) exiting the game for good in the first quarter, a development that allowed Johnson to make an appearance on the stat sheet for the second straight week. Johnson was considered a steal as a fifth-round selection last April after a productive college career, but the wealth of talent ahead of him -- which was augmented by the mid-season acquisition of Antonio Brown -- conspired to keep the former Golden Gopher near the bottom of the depth…read more

  • Splash play on only catch

    Johnson secured his only target for 35 yards in the Buccaneers' 47-7 win over the Lions on Saturday.

    Analysis: Multiple seldom-used players were utilized in the blowout win, with Johnson getting in on the fun courtesy of a career-high 35-yard grab. Johnson's splash play could potentially be a harbinger of what's to come Week 17, a divisional contest against the Falcons in which the playoff-bound Bucs may rest some front-line players if they're able to get out to a comfortable lead.

  • Blanked on stat sheet

    Johnson failed to bring in his only target during the Buccaneers' 31-27 win over the Falcons on Sunday.

    Analysis: The rookie once again saw minimal involvement, failing to bring in his only target for the third time in the last five games. Johnson has actually been active in every game since Week 3, but he hasn't recorded a catch since Week 9 against the Saints. With so many talented and healthy wideouts in front of him, the 2020 fifth-round pick figures to continue toiling in anonymity during a Week 16 matchup versus the Lions on Saturday afternoon.

  • Another quiet day in loss

    Johnson failed to bring in his only target in the Buccaneers' 27-24 loss to the Chiefs on Sunday.

    Analysis: The rookie came up empty for the third straight game, not necessarily a surprising development considering the wealth of healthy pass-catching talent in front of him. Johnson logged just five snaps overall, and that level of involvement figures to remain the norm unless multiple injuries strike the Buccaneers' receiving corps.

  • Catchless for consecutive game

    Johnson didn't receive a target in Monday's 27-24 loss to the Rams.

    Analysis: Johnson is now operating as the No. 5 receiver with Chris Godwin healthy and Antonio Brown on board. The rookie out of Minnesota logged fewer than 10 snaps on offense for a third straight week and didn't record a reception for a second straight game.

  • Blanked in Week 10 win

    Johnson failed to bring in his only target in the Buccaneers' 46-23 win over the Panthers on Sunday.

    Analysis: The rookie played just nine snaps from scrimmage overall, not entirely surprising considering the Buccaneers' receiving corps was at full health. Johnson was overthrown by Tom Brady on his one target, and he now has logged just two targets in the pair of contests Antonio Brown has played in thus far.

  • Hauls in sole target in loss

    Johnson secured his only target for 11 yards in the Buccaneers' 38-3 loss to the Saints on Sunday night.

    Analysis: The rookie unsurprisingly filled a minor role, logging just six snaps from scrimmage and coming in last in targets among players who received at least one look from Tom Brady. Johnson has slipped down to No. 5 on the wideout depth chart with the arrival of Antonio Brown, so his level of participation moving forward could be similarly modest.

  • Two grabs in win

    Johnson brought in both his targets for 35 yards in the Buccaneers' 25-23 win over the Giants on Monday night.

    Analysis: Johnson took a formidable hit from the Giants' Logan Ryan on his second and final catch of the night, a 20-yard grab that took the ball down to New York's 42-yard line on a drive that would culminate in a go-ahead touchdown grab by Mike Evans. The rookie played on exactly 50.0 percent of the snaps overall and was able to post his third multi-reception tally of the last four games in the process. However, the 2020 fifth-round pick could well be in for a notable decline in opportunity beginning…read more

  • Extra opportunities likely Week 8

    Johnson could be in line for an expanded role Monday against the Giants with Chris Godwin (finger) set to miss the contest, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Johnson has had an interesting rookie season, one that saw him inactive for the first two games of the campaign, target-less for the subsequent pair of contests and in the end zone twice on just seven catches over the last three. He was at his busiest in Week 5 against the Bears -- one of three games Godwin has already missed this season -- posting a 4-61 line on six targets. Johnson may not see the same volume versus New York, but he should slot into the No. 3 receiver role with Scotty Miller…read more

  • Finds end zone again

    Johnson secured both his targets for four yards and a touchdown in the Buccaneers' 45-20 win over the Raiders on Sunday.

    Analysis: The rookie is starting to demonstrate a knack for making excellent use of his relatively sparse opportunities, as he now has a pair of touchdown grabs on a combined three receptions over the last two games. On Sunday, Johnson found the end zone from a yard out with 3:08 remaining to put an exclamation point on the lopsided win for the Buccaneers. While his recent fantasy production is encouraging to an extent, the outlook for Johnson isn't too bright moving forward, considering Antonio Brown's…read more

  • Maximizes one catch

    Johnson hauled in his only target for a seven-yard touchdown in the Buccaneers' 38-10 win over the Packers on Sunday.

    Analysis: The rookie didn't have anywhere near the same role as in a Week 5 loss to the Bears that Chris Godwin and Justin Watson missed due to hamstring and chest injuries, respectively. However, Johnson cashed in his one opportunity to touch the ball. The 2020 fifth-round pick should continue to see sporadic opportunity throughout his first pro campaign, but he'll have a weekly uphill battle for Tom Brady's attention whenever the rest of the team's pass-catching corps is healthy.

    Johnson secured four of six targets for 61 yards in the Buccaneers' 20-19 loss to the Bears on Thursday night.

    Analysis: The rookie finally had a chance to see some targets come his way, and he made good use of the opportunity overall. Johnson led the Buccaneers in receptions and receiving yardage for the night, with the highlight of his performance a 35-yard grab late in the first quarter on the Buccaneers' only touchdown drive. Johnson saw extended snaps as a result of the absences of Chris Godwin (hamstring) and Justin Watson (chest), but the accounting he gave of himself could certainly earn him additional…read more

  • Could play key role Week 5

    Johnson could be in line for No. 3 receiver duties at minimum in Thursday's Week 5 game against the Bears with Chris Godwin (hamstring) and Justin Watson (chest) sidelined, Scott Smith of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: The rookie already logged 25 snaps in Week 4 against the Chargers, although he didn't see a target. That's likely to change Thursday, even if Evans, who's reportedly going to test out his gimpy ankle in pregame warmups, and Miller, who's expected to play through groin and ankle injuries, both suit up. Smith identifies Johnson as the most likely to serve as the No. 3 wideout in such a scenario, and if Evans can't go, the 2020 fifth-round pick could conceivably find himself in a starting role in…read more

  • Could see expanded opportunity

    Johnson is in line for an expanded role in Sunday's Week 4 home tilt against the Chargers with Chris Godwin (hamstring) already ruled out and Scotty Miller (hip/groin) listed as questionable, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Laine reports coach Bruce Arians noted he expects Johnson to step into a bigger role after being active for the first time in Week 3 but not logging a target. The 2020 fifth-round pick has had a slow start to his pro career after missing time at the start of training camp with what was described as a soft-tissue injury, but he's since had over a month to get acquainted with the offense. Johnson wouldn't project to serve as any higher than the No. 4 receiver if Miller is able to suit up, but he…read more

  • No targets in Week 3 win

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

    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.

  • Active in Week 3

    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.

    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.

  • Healthy scratch against Panthers

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

    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.

  • Sitting out Week 1

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

    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.

    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.

    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.

  • Trying to make up for lost time

    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.

    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…read more

    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.

  • Dealing with injury

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

    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.
