Ends season on high note Johnson carried the ball 14 times for 84 yards and a touchdown and caught three of five targets for 36 yards in Sunday's 41-38 loss to the Titans.

Impact While the circumstances of his arrival in Houston, as part of Bill O'Brien's last ill-advised trade, were less than ideal, Johnson put together a solid 2020 campaign when he was healthy, amassing 1,005 scrimmage yards and eight TDs (six rushing, two receiving) in 12 games. With one more season left on his current contract, Johnson could well find himself back with the Texans next year, but he would also carry a small dead cap hit of $2.1 million if the team's new regime decides to move in a different direction in the backfield.

Another remarkable effort in loss Johnson rushed 12 times for 128 yards and a touchdown and secured all three of his targets for 11 yards and another score in the Texans' 37-31 loss to the Bengals on Sunday.

Impact A week after racking up 11 receptions in a loss to the Colts, Johnson stood out for his work on the ground Sunday with a highly efficient performance highlighted by a 48-yard run. Johnson had yet to cross the 100-yard mark on the ground as a Texan until Sunday, and his receiving touchdown was his first since Week 7. Johnson will look to put together another strong game to cap off his first season in Houston against the vulnerable Titans defense in the Week 17 finale.

Heavily utilized as receiver Johnson carried the ball eight times for 27 yards in Week 15 against the Colts. He added 11 receptions for 106 yards as a receiver.

Impact Johnson returned from a one-game absence and had a huge role in the backfield with both Duke Johnson (neck) and C.J. Prosise (ankle) inactive. While he was mostly held in check as a runner, he was a regular checkdown option for Deshaun Watson as a receiver. Most of his production came as a result of volume, though he did turn in receptions of 31 and 26 yards to highlight his effort. Johnson could be in line for big volume once again in Week 16 against Cincinnati if the team's backfield remains shorthanded.

Impact While he appears on track to suit up Sunday against the Colts, both Duke Johnson (neck) and C.J. Prosise (ankle) sat out Thursday's session. With Houston's backfield depth options in Week 15 unclear at this stage, it looks like David Johnson is poised to reclaim his role as the team's lead back versus Indy.

Back from COVID-19 list The Texans activated Johnson (undisclosed) from the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Impact Johnson was forced to sit out last weekend's game against the Bears, but he'll be eligible to return to action in Indianapolis on Sunday. He figures to handle starting reps out of the backfield, as per usual, but it's worth keeping in mind that Johnson has only surpassed 50 rushing yards four times this season.

Returns to team Johnson (undisclosed) is "back in the building" after landing on the reserve-COVID-19 list as a close contact, but the running back won't practice Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of the Ho...

Impact While the report notes that Johnson didn't test positive for COVID-19, the team is choosing to ease him back into the mix due to the time he missed. Johnson should therefore be officially removed from the reserve-COVID-19 list soon and presumably could return to practice Thursday, as the Texans continue their preparations for Sunday's game against the Colts.

Expected back next week Interim coach Romeo Crennel relayed that Johnson landed on the COVID-19 list as a close contact and is expected to return to action in Week 15, Aaron Reiss of The Athletic reports.

Impact In his absence in Sunday's 36-7 loss to the Bears, Duke Johnson, Buddy Howell and C.J. Prosise handled Houston's RB duties. None of the trio did enough to supplant David Johnson as the team's starter, and assuming he's activated in the coming days, he should head the team's backfield next weekend against the Colts.

Lands on COVID-19 list Johnson (illness) has been placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list.

Impact The running back thus is in line to miss Sunday's game against the Bears, which sets the stage for Duke Johnson to head the Texans' Week 14 backfield.

Impact Johnson missed Thursday's practice due to a personal issue, and it sounds like another missed session Friday would jeopardize his status for Week 14. Given the undisclosed nature of Johnson's absence, it's difficult to estimate when a final call on his availability will arrive. If he were to indeed miss Sunday's game against the Bears, Duke Johnson would stand to start out of the backfield.
