Johnson (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Cowboys, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports. Despite a full week of practice, Johnson will remain on injured reserve and be held out of the Buccaneers' Week 16 contest. His practice window was opened Dec. 12, giving Tampa Bay until Jan. 2 to activate him to its active roster. Expect Johnson to serve as a depth piece in the Bucs' wide receiver room when he returns from injury.
Johnson (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest against the Chargers, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports. Johnson landed on IR in late October. He was designated to return Thursday, but he hasn't ramped up enough to return to game action this week. Johnson will need to be activated from IR before he's able to suit up on game day again. His next chance to play will be Sunday, Dec. 22 versus Dallas.
The Buccaneers announced Thursday that Johnson (ankle) has been designated to return from IR, opening his 21-day practice window, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports. Johnson has been sidelined since Week 5 due to an ankle injury. Now having been cleared to practice, Johnson can be activated fully from IR and to the 53-man roster at any point during his 21-day window, making him eligible to retake the field as early as Sunday versus the Chargers. The undrafted rookie drew just one target while handling a depth role in his first four NFL games.
Johnson (ankle) is not expected to be designated to return from IR ahead of Sunday's game against the Giants, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports. Johnson hasn't played since Week 5 and there is still no timetable for his return. Once he is healthy enough to practice, he'll have his 21-day window opened, but it's not clear when that will be.
The Buccaneers placed Johnson (ankle) on injured reserve Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. Johnson had already been ruled out for the Buccaneers' Week 7 matchup against the Ravens, but his shift to IR on Monday suggests his ankle injury is severe. The Barton College product will now be forced to miss Tampa Bay's next four games, with his earliest possible return coming in Week 12 against the Giants. Expect Sterling Shepard and Trey Palmer (concussion) to see increased work in the Buccaneers' wide receiver corps in Johnson's stead.
Johnson (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Monday's game against the Ravens, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports. Johnson will miss a second straight game due to an ankle injury he sustained in Week 5 against the Falcons. He hasn't practiced since the injury, and his next chance at suiting up will be Week 8 in a rematch against Atlanta. With Mike Evans (hamstring) and Trey Palmer (concussion) dealing with injuries, the Bucs' only healthy wide receivers heading into Monday's game are Chris Godwin, Jalen McMillan and Sterling Shepard.
Johnson (ankle) was a non-participant at Thursday's practice, Johnson is looking to return from a one-game absence due to an ankle injury, but his absence from Thursday's practice is not a good start to the week. Still, he will have an extra day to recover, as the Buccaneers do not play until Monday against the Cardinals. The pass catcher has seen the field for 38 offensive plays across four games and drawn one target.
Johnson (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Saints, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports. Johnson played just five total snaps (four offensive and one on special teams) before exiting the Bucs' Week 5 loss to the Falcons with an ankle injury. He downgraded from limited work Wednesday to DNPs both Thursday and Friday, making it no surprise that he's sitting out in Week 6. Expect Sterling Shepard and Jalen McMillan (hamstring) to see increased work in Tampa Bay's wide receiver room in Johnson's stead.
Johnson (ankle) did not participate at the Buccaneers' practice Thursday, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports. Johnson opened the week as a limited participant at practice following an ankle injury he suffered in Week 5 versus Atlanta. The wide receiver's inability to practice Thursday is concerning and if he isn't able to return to the field Friday, he'll likely miss Sunday's matchup with the Saints.
