Johnson recorded eight tackles (five solo) and a pass defensed during Sunday's 30-27 win at Carolina. Johnson played nearly all of Kansas City's defensive snaps in Week 12, and he posted eight-plus tackles for the third week straight. If he plays a similarly-significant role in Week 13 versus the Raiders, he'll project as a good IDP play in most formats.

Johnson recorded eight tackles (five solo) and a pass defensed during Sunday's 30-27 win at Carolina. Johnson played nearly all of Kansas City's defensive snaps in Week 12, and he posted eight-plus tackles for the third week straight. If he plays a similarly-significant role in Week 13 versus the Raiders, he'll project as a good IDP play in most formats.
Johnson recorded eight tackles (five solo) in Sunday's 30-21 loss to the Bills. The cornerback also played on all 71 defensive snaps. Johnson played on 91 percent of the defensive snaps in Kansas City's Week 10 win over the Broncos, and he now has 18 tackles (11 solo) over those last two contests. The 2022 seventh-round pick will try to continue solidifying his place as the Chiefs' starting right corner opposite Trent McDuffie in Week 12 against the Panthers.
Johnson recorded 10 total tackles (six solo), including 1.0 sacks, in Sunday's 16-14 win over the Broncos. Johnson not only led the Chiefs in total tackles in Sunday's win, but he also doubled his previous career high for tackles in a single game (five). The Marshall product tallied the first sack of his young career as well, bringing down Bo Nix for a 17-yard loss in the first quarter. Expect Johnson to continue starting opposite Trent McDuffie as one of the Chiefs' top outside cornerbacks, especially after Sunday's performance.
Johnson (concussion) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Broncos. Johnson missed Kansas City's Week 9 win over the Buccaneers due to a concussion sustained the week prior. However, the third-year pro was a full participant in practice throughout the week and has passed through the NFL's five-step protocol in time to play Sunday. Expect Johnson to serve as one of the Chiefs' top outside corners in Week 10.
Johnson (concussion) was a full practice participant Wednesday. Johnson missed Monday's game against the Buccaneers due to a concussion he suffered in Week 8 against the Raiders. His ability to practice in full Wednesday is a sign that the 2022 seventh-round pick is trending towards playing Sunday against the Broncos, but he'll need to clear the league's five-step concussion protocols before being able to return. Across seven regular-season games, Johnson has logged 14 tackles (six solo).
Johnson (concussion) has been ruled out ahead of Monday's game against the Buccaneers. Johnson was diagnosed with a concussion during the Chiefs' Week 8 win over the Raiders. He was able to end the week with consecutive limited practices, but the 2022 seventh-round pick has been unable to clear the NFL's five-step concussion protocols. Johnson's next chance at suiting up will be Week 10 against Denver on Sunday, Nov. 10. Joshua Williams is the top candidate to start at corner Monday alongside Trent McDuffie.
Johnson (concussion) was a limited participant at Kansas City's practice Friday. Johnson suffered a concussion in the team's Week 8 win over the Raiders, opening the week as a non-participant at practice Thursday. The cornerback's participation Friday is a step in the right direction, but he will still have to clear concussion protocol ahead of Monday's matchup with the Buccaneers in order to play.
Johnson (concussion) is not participating in Thursday's practice, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports. Johnson, who was placed in the concussion protocol during Kansas City's win over the Raiders in Week 8, will need to gain full clearance in order to be eligible for Monday's contest against the Buccaneers. In order to foster optimism about his chances of playing Week 9, Johnson will likely have to upgrade to non-contact practice activity by Friday.
Johnson (concussion) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against Las Vegas. Johnson will remain in the league's concussion protocols, which he'll have to clear in order to play in the Chiefs' Week 9 game against the Buccaneers on Monday, Nov. 4. He'll end Sunday's game with five tackles (two solo), and Joshua Williams and Keith Taylor are candidates to see increased snaps with the first-team defense opposite starting corner Trent McDuffie.
