Caleb Johnson: Everything you need to know

The Dolphins placed Johnson (shoulder) on injured reserve Friday. Johnson suffered a shoulder injury in the Dolphins' Week 14 game against the Jets and was unable to return to the game. The linebacker was also unable to practice Thursday with a shoulder injury deemed severe enough to move him to injured reserve. The 27-year-old will be unable to return for the rest of the regular season, with his only hope of suiting up again being if the Dolphins can make a wild-card push. In Johnson's absence, K.J. Britt and Willie Gay will likely see more defensive reps at strongside linebacker.

Johnson (shoulder) did not participate in practice Thursday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports. Johnson suffered a shoulder injury in the first half of the Dolphins' Week 14 game against the Jets. The 27-year-old will likely need to return to practice Friday or Saturday for a chance to play Monday night versus the Steelers. If Johnson is unable to play Monday, Tyrel Dodson will likely see additional reps.

Johnson (shoulder) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's contest against the Jets. Johnson suffered a shoulder injury in the second quarter, and his day has now officially come to a premature end. With Tyrel Dodson (hamstring) also banged up, Miami's linebacker depth is going to be tested moving forward in Week 14.
