2025 Fantasy Outlook
The third-year linebacker from Oregon appeared in 14 games and made two starts last season, tallying 44 total tackles, including 0.5 sacks, and one pass defense. The Panthers' edge-rush corps changed a lot this offseason, letting go of veteran Jadeveon Clowney but adding Nic Scourton, Princely Umanmielen and Pat Jones. As a result, Johnson will remain in a reserve role and carry minimal fantasy value in 2025. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a four-year, $5.5 million contract with the Panthers in May of 2023.
Four tackles in preseason opener
Johnson (concussion) registered four tackles (two solo) during the Panthers' 30-10 preseason loss to the Browns on Friday.
ANALYSIS
Johnson is competing for a backup linebacker spot on the Panthers' final 53-man roster. He played 30 snaps Friday (23 on defense, seven on special teams), and his next chance to audition for a spot on the roster is Saturday, Aug. 16 against the Texans.

2023
Johnson, a 2023 third-round pick out of Oregon, recorded just 16 total tackles and one pass defended across 13 regular-season games during his rookie campaign. However, with offseason addition D.J. Wonnum (quadriceps) beginning training camp on the active/PUP list, Johnson has been working with Carolina's first-team defense and has impressed thus far. Johnson will likely contribute as the Panthers' top rotational edge rusher in 2024, but he could see even more of the field if Wonnum's injury extends into the regular season.
