Cut from practice squad
New York released Johnson from their practice squad Tuesday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports. The veteran fullback has been bouncing on and off the team's practice squad seemingly all season. He's appeared in three games for Big Blue this season, seeing 12 snaps on offense and 39 on special teams.
Sticking with Big Blue
The Giants signed Johnson to the practice squad Saturday, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports. Johnson was cut from the Giants' practice squad Wednesday, but he was re-signed and will stick around in New York. He started the regular season on the active roster and played in Weeks 2 through 4, during which he played 51 snaps (12 on offense, 39 on special teams) without recording a stat.
Let go by Big Blue
The Giants cut Johnson from the practice squad Wednesday, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports. Johnson last appeared for the Giants in Week 4 against the Cowboys, during which he played 15 snaps (seven on offense, eight on special teams) and did not record a stat. The veteran fullback will look to join a team in need of blocking out of the backfield.
Returns to practice squad
Johnson reverted to the Giants' practice squad Friday, per the NFL's official transaction log. Johnson was elevated to the active roster for the third time this season ahead of Thursday's 20-15 loss to the Cowboys, failing to record any stats while playing seven snaps on offense and eight snaps with the special-teams unit. The fullback will now have to be signed to the active roster in order to appear in another game with the Giants this year.
Bumped to active roster
Johnson was elevated by the Giants from their practice squad for Thursday's game against the Cowboys, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports. Johnson has already suited up twice for the team this season, in Week 2 and Week 3, seeing a combined five snaps on offense and not accumulating any counting stats. He'll more likely provide work on special teams against Dallas on TNF.
Back with Big Blue
The Giants signed Johnson to their practice squad Wednesday, per the NFL's transaction log. The Giants released Johnson on Tuesday after he played 20 total snaps (two offensive and 18 on special teams) during the team's Week 3 win over the Browns, but he has since returned to Big Blue's practice squad. Expect the 29-year-old to continue bouncing between the Giants' practice squad and active roster, primarily contributing on special teams as the season progresses.
Let go by Giants
The Giants released Johnson on Tuesday, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports. Johnson has been and up down between the Giants' active roster and practice squad since the end of training camp, and it's possible that the 29-year-old running back could stick around with Big Blue. Johnson has played 36 snaps (31 on special teams, five on offense) across two games with the Giants this season and has not accrued a carry or tackle over that span.
Inks to active roster
The Giants signed Johnson to the active roster on Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. Johnson spent time with New York throughout the offseason and earned an initial spot on the team's practice squad, though he was cut on Friday. After the Giants' loss to the Vikings in Week 1, though, it looks like the team is exploring some schematic changes that could make an experienced fullback valuable. That could foreshadow the running game being leaned on versus Washington on the road on Sunday.
No longer with New York
The Giants cut Johnson from their practice squad Friday, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports. Johnson didn't make New York's 53-man roster out of training camp, but he was signed to the team's practice squad and then moved up to the active roster shortly thereafter. However, the fullback was subsequently moved back to the practice squad and has now parted ways with the Giants. Johnson could be an attractive option for another team's practice squad or even an option for an active roster, as he has plenty of experience after having played in 63 regular-season games over the past four seasons between the Patriots and Raiders.
