Johnson was able to catch on with the Packers' practice squad Sept. 18, though he wasn't elevated to the active roster during the 2024 season.

Sticks around with Bolts Johnson signed with the Chargers' practice squad Wednesday.

Impact Johnson was the Chargers' seventh-round selection of the 2024 NFL Draft, so it doesn't come as a surprise that he was signed to the taxi squad after failing to make the 53-man roster. He could be promoted to the active roster should any of the Bolts' wide receivers miss time.

Doesn't make Bolts' 53-man roster The Chargers waived Johnson on Tuesday.

Impact The Chargers drafted Johnson in the seventh round of the 2024 NFL Draft, 253rd overall, and the Michigan wide receiver followed head coach Jim Harbaugh to Los Angeles. Johnson spent the offseason and training camp competing for a depth spot at wide receiver, but he wasn't able to record a catch until the Bolts' preseason finale against the Cowboys, when he finished with three receptions on seven targets for 34 yards. Given the fact that Johnson is a late-round draft pick, he'll likely be invited back on the Chargers' practice squad, assuming another team doesn't pick him up off waivers.
