Makes the most of 10 carries Johnson had 10 carries for 60 yards and one touchdown and reeled in their only target for nine yards during Saturday's 20-15 victory versus Boston College.

Impact Johnson saw his most carries since the opener, in which he logged 11. His 60 yards were also a season-high, and his touchdown was his first on the season as well. The tailback should have one season of eligibility remaining in 2025.

Not listed on injury report Johnson (undisclosed) will be available for Nebraska against Iowa.

Impact The tailback didn't play last week against Wisconsin as well as the week prior against USC, but Johnson is set to make his return in the regular season finale against Iowa. Johnson should resume his role as the RB2 on Friday night.

DNP for Wisconsin game Johnson (undisclosed) did not play during Nebraska's 44-25 win Saturday against Wisconsin.

Impact Saturday marked Johnson's second consecutive DNP and third DNP in four games. Now, Nebraska's 2024 team will look to finish its regular season by playing at Iowa on Friday.

NOVEMBER 25, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Listed as questionable Johnson (undisclosed) is listed as questionable for Saturday's matchup with Wisconsin.

Impact It was previously reported that Johsnon would be available, albeit limited Saturday, though the senior's status still appears to be up in the air. Dante Dowdell would presumably take on a larger workload if Johnson can't suit up, with Emmett Johnson likely to see an expanded role as well.

NOVEMBER 23, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Available but limited Johnson (undisclosed) will be available but limited for Nebraska's game Saturday against Wisconsin, Justin Frommer of 247Sports reports.

Impact Johnson's 2024 season includes 41 carries for 180 yards and 19 receptions for 165 yards, his lone touchdown logged as a receiver. Since Week 3, a fully healthy Johnson has logged two-to-five carries and zero-to-three receptions in Nebraska games. Being limited from the aforementioned output significantly caps his upside for Week 13.

NOVEMBER 21, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Out Saturday Johnson (undisclosed) will not play Saturday against USC.

Impact It's a surprising loss for the Cornhuskers, as no previous injury had been reported for Johnson. With the senior running back sidelined, Emmett Johnson figures to step up as Dante Dowdell's primary backup.

NOVEMBER 16, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Good to go Saturday Johnson is available for Saturday's game versus UCLA.

Impact Johnson missed last Saturday's game at Ohio State with an undisclosed injury. He is now off the injury report, paving the way for his return versus UCLA. The senior has rushed 38 times for 153 yards and four touchdowns this season, adding 19 catches for 165 yards and a touchdown through the air.

NOVEMBER 2, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Out against Buckeyes Head coach Matt Rhule revealed that Johnson (undisclosed) will not play in Saturday's game against Ohio State.

Impact Johnson was previously thought to be questionable for Saturday's game after suffering an undisclosed injury in last week's loss to Indiana, but it appears the senior running back will be unable to go against the Buckeyes. Johnson has been an all around contributor on offense this season, running for 153 yards on 38 attempts on the ground while adding 19 catches for 165 yards and a score through the air as well. With Johnson sidelined, expect fellow running back Emmett Johnson to be more involved, though lead back Dante Dowdell will likely see a large portion of the workload for the Cornhuskers.

Versatile day in victory Johnson notched nine rushes for 33 yards and reeled in 8 of 9 targets for 49 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 28-10 victory against Colorado.

Impact Johnson found the end zone on an 18-yard pass from quarterback Dylan Raiola at the end of the second quarter to extend the Cornhuskers' lead to 28-0. The senior running back accounted for over 80 yards on the day, indicating that a productive role within the offense may not be out of reach. Johnson's next opportunity to shine will come in a final tune-up game against UNI on Saturday before the start of Big Ten conference play.

Participating in practice Johnson (shoulder) participated in Saturday's practice and should be considered healthy ahead of the start of the 2024 season, Chase Matteson of 10/11 News reports.

Impact Johnson was out for the spring practices due to a shoulder injury, but he was one of the first wideouts who stepped on the gridiron when the initial offense left the field. Johnson was limited to just three games in 2023, but he could be in line for a more significant workload and role in 2024. Nebraska will open their season against UTEP on Aug. 31.

Working with receivers at fall camp Johnson has spent time working with the wide receivers on ball-catching and footwork drills during fall camp, Amie Just of the Journal Star reports.

Impact Just indicates that Johnson's extra work with the wideouts may suggest he'll see more action in the slot this season. After finishing last year with 692 all-purpose yards and six total touchdowns, the 5-foot-10 running back is Nebraska's top returning rusher and is expected to be the lead back to start the regular season.
