Johnson (ankle) is active for Thursday night's game against the Broncos. Johnson was a DNP for the Chargers' two walkthrough sessions due to an ankle injury, but he was able to log a full practice Wednesday. The 2022 first-round pick will play Thursday and serve as the Bolts' starting left guard.
Johnson (ankle) didn't participate in Tuesday's practice. The Chargers' initial Week 16 injury report listed receiver Quentin Johnston as a non-participant Monday with an ankle injury, but Daniel Popper of The Athletic notes that that label was instead meant for Johnson, whose name was absent from the report. Los Angeles' updated injury report now correctly lists Johnson as a non-participant for the second day in a row, putting the left guard's status in question for Thursday's game against the Broncos.
Johnson (ankle) does not appear on the Chargers' estimated injury report Monday. Johnson was removed from Sunday's loss to Tampa Bay due to an ankle issue and was replaced by Jamaree Salyer at left guard. Los Angeles held a walkthrough rather than a full practice Monday, but it's nonetheless a good sign for Johnson's health that he doesn't have a designation on the injury report. Unless Johnson pops up on the injury report Tuesday or Wednesday, he should be good to go for Thursday's Week 16 game against Denver.
Johnson (ankle) is questionable to return to Sunday's contest against the Buccaneers. Johnson suffered the ankle injury in the second half of the contest and his ability to return is now uncertain. In his absence, Jamaree Salyer has taken over at left guard versus Tampa Bay.
Johnson (ankle) was a full participant in Friday's practice. Johnson popped up on the Chargers' injury report Thursday due to an ankle injury he likely sustained in Week 6 against the Broncos. It doesn't appear to be a major issue, considering the 2022 first-round pick was able to practice in full Friday. Barring any setbacks, Johnson should start at right guard Monday against the Cardinals.
