2024 Fantasy Outlook
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. Read Past Outlooks
Past concussion
Johnson (concussion) was not listed on the Panthers' injury report Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
The second-year pro was inactive for the Panthers' Week 12 loss to the Chiefs after sustaining a concussion prior to the team's Week 11 bye, but his omission from Wednesday's injury report suggests he's cleared the NFL's five-step protocol. With Johnson now back to full health, he's expected to serve as Carolina's top backup outside linebacker.
