Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
2021
2019
Johnson, a key offseason signing in 2022, played in just eight games before suffering a major knee injury that kept him out for the rest of the season. That same injury will keep him on the PUP list to begin training camp and it's possible Johnson might fight to establish consistent playing time along the interior of the defensive line.
After signing a two-year contract earlier this spring, Johnson appears in line to draw the start at nose tackle with Linval Joseph now a free agent. The veteran, who was essentially a rotational defensive lineman for most of his career, finally got starting reps with the Giants last season and blossomed in the role, easily achieving career highs in tackles (72), sacks (3.5) and snaps (648). Expect Johnson to be a critical piece in fixing what was a mundane run defense for the Chargers last season.
Should find himself in the team's defensive tackle rotation, though don't expect a major role or significant pass rushing stats.
The Titans' invested heavily in Johnson, spending the 43rd overall pick to draft him in 2016. However, he's failed to make much of an impact, racking up just 2.5 sacks across his first three seasons. Currently listed second on the depth chart at nose tackle, there were rumblings in the offseason that Johnson may be fighting for his roster spot throughout the preseason.

Return date uncertain
DTLos Angeles Chargers
May 19, 2023
Johnson, who suffered a season-ending knee injury in Week 9 of the 2022 campaign, isn't certain to be ready for mandatory minicamp in June or the start of training camp in late July, Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
A 2016 second-round pick of the Titans, he compiled 22 tackles, including a sack, through eight games before going down with the injury. Johnson's absence during the second half of the season robbed the Chargers of a key veteran run-stopping presence, helping lead to Los Angeles allowing 144.2 rushing yards per game. The Bolts signed fellow veteran tackle Nick Williams on Friday to help insure against Johnson not being available until later in training camp.
