Bumped up to active roster Johnson was elevated by the Broncos from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday ahead of the team's game in Carolina on Sunday, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.

Impact Johnson will suit up for the second straight week with both Jerry Jeudy (ankle) and KJ Hamler (hamstring) ruled out for Week 12. In his first NFL game last week, Johnson logged 22 snaps on offense, catching his only target for a two-yard gain.

Heading back to practice squad Johnson reverted to the Broncos' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Impact Johnson played a relatively prominent role after being elevated from the Broncos' practice squad for the first time Week 11, as he caught one of his two targets for two yards. The rookie's 22 offensive snaps also ranked third amongst Denver's receiver corps, slotting in behind Courtland Sutton (59) and Kendall Hinton (56) but ahead of Jalen Virgil (seven) and Montrell Washington (six). With KJ Hamler (hamstring) expected to miss multiple weeks, Johnson could stand to see similar usage if No. 2 wideout Jerry Jeudy (ankle) remains sidelined Week 12 against Carolina.

Gets call-up from practice squad Denver elevated Johnson from its practice squad Saturday for Sunday's matchup against Las Vegas, Nick Kosmider of The Athletic reports.

Impact The undrafted rookie out of UCF was signed to Denver's practice squad in mid-October and will be active for his first NFL game in Week 11. Johnson flashed during training camp and caught four passes for 64 yards during the Broncos' preseason opener, but he suffered a high-ankle sprain during the team's final exhibition game. Jerry Jeudy (ankle) and KJ Hamler (hamstring) have both been ruled out and Kendall Hinton (shoulder) is questionable, leaving Jalen Virgil, Montrell Washington and Johnson as the top healthy wideouts behind Courtland Sutton.

Returns to Broncos The Broncos signed Johnson to their practice squad Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.

Impact Johnson reached an agreement with Denver's practice squad Tuesday, after he had previously spent time with the team throughout the offseason. However, the 24-year-old suffered a high-ankle sprain during the Broncos' preseason finale against the Vikings, causing him to be placed on the team's IR and eventually reach an injury settlement in early September. Now that Johnson is back with Denver's practice squad, he'll serve as an emergency depth option should any of the team's WRs miss time.

Surprising in camp Johnson is impressing and gaining quarterback Russell Wilson's trust in training camp, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.

Impact Johnson signed with the Broncos this offseason as an undrafted free agent, and the 24-year-old is building quite the chemistry with Wilson thus far. The wideout practiced with the starters all week and is showing that he belongs with the likes of Courtland Sutton and Jerry Jeudy. Offensive coordinator Justin Outten said Thursday, "He does things behind the scenes to put him in a really good spot and it's just working with what's expected from us as coaches and what's expected by Russell. He's been doing a really good job in all aspects, not just the pass game, but the run game, too." This is high praise for Johnson, who impressed in Denver's first preseason game against the Cowboys, reeling in four catches for 64 yards. The UCF product is making the most of his opportunity and has a chance to secure a depth role in the Broncos' talented receiving corps ahead of the 2022 campaign.
