Johnson (undisclosed) worked out with the Browns on Friday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
ANALYSIS
The 24-year-old linebacker was waived from injured reserve by Chicago last week, and it seems as if he's moved past whatever issue he was dealing with. Johnson hasn't played in an NFL game since 2021, when he appeared in four contests for the Steelers and recorded two total tackles.

NFL Draft: Three-Round Mock
April 13, 2021
The Dolphins are loaded with draft ammo and are likely to send Tua Tagovailoa into much more favorable circumstances in 2021.
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.
Johnson was the Steelers' fourth-round pick in 2021 after he racked up 209 tackles (101 solo), 6.5 sacks, three forced fumbles and an interception across four seasons at Texas A&M. He should play a depth role but could carve out playing time following Vince Williams' offseason retirement.
