Rest-of-Season Projections
Signed a contract with the Colts in September of 2025.
Signed by Indianapolis
Johnson was signed off the Cowboys' practice squad by the Colts on Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
ANALYSIS
Johnson will head to Indianapolis after spending the first few weeks of the season with Dallas, failing to record any stats while playing 18 snaps on special teams in Week 1. The 26-year-old has compiled 14 total tackles (six solo) over 21 games in his five-year NFL career, and he'll provide the Colts with an additional depth option behind Zaire Franklin at middle linebacker.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2022
2021
Johnson was a fourth-round pick by the Steelers in 2021 but appeared in just four games last year due to a foot injury. He'll need to compete for a roster spot in training camp among the Steelers' crowded linebacker corps and will likely serve mainly on special teams if he makes the 53-man roster.
