Makes debut Sunday
Johnson made his season debut in Sunday's 34-20 win over Washington. He had three tackles and forced a fumble over 38 snaps (58 percent).
Impact
Johnson, who had been dealing with an abdomen injury that forced him to miss the first two weeks, also played special teams Sunday. It looks like he's ready to handle a larger share of snaps Week 4 against Dallas. That will be a boost to the secondary, which is without Greedy Williams (shoulder) and lost Denzel Ward (groin) during the Week 3 win.

Expected to play Sunday
Johnson (abdomen) was a full participant during Thursday's practice, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
Impact
Johnson is returning from a lacerated liver which he suffered in training camp, and he's expected to make his 2020 debut Sunday. Now officially cleared to play, Johnson is expected to handle the starting nickel role as long as he's healthy.

Cleared to practice
Johnson (abdomen) returned to practice Monday, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
Impact
Coach Kevin Stefanski said Johnson -- who suffered a lacerated liver in August -- has been cleared to practice. He may not be taking contact yet, but that should be revealed on Wednesday's practice report. Greedy Williams (shoulder) could return in Week 3 versus Washington as well, so Johnson's role will likely be limited if he plays.

Remains out Thursday
Johnson (abdomen) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Bengals, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
Impact
This doesn't come as a surprise considering Johnson still hasn't practiced since suffering a lacerated liver in training camp. The cornerback's next chance to make his season debut will come in Week 3 against Washington.

Won't play Sunday
Johnson (abdomen) is ruled out for Sunday's season opener in Baltimore, Jake Trotter of ESPN.com reports.
Impact
Johnson was hospitalized due to a lacerated liver during training camp, and a timetable for his return to the field remains uncertain. After facing Baltimore on Sunday, the Browns will have a short turnaround before suiting up against the Bengals on Sept. 17.

Released from hospital
Johnson was released from the hospital Friday after suffering a lacerated liver, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Impact
Johnson will look to clear the necessary protocols and return to the team Tuesday, but he'll be eased back into drills and conditioning. The team expects it to be at least two weeks until he's back to full speed, and the 2015 first-round pick is in danger of missing a couple of games to start the season. Terrance Mitchell and M.J. Stewart could see an uptick in playing time with Johnson on the sidelines.

Released from hospital
Johnson (lacerated liver) was released from the hospital Saturday and is considered week-to-week, Scott Petrak of The Chronicle-Telegram reports.
Impact
Johnson has gotten through the health scare that arose from being landed on by tight end Harrison Bryant, but it's unclear when the nickel cornerback will be fit to get back on the field.

Hospitalized after practice injury
Johnson has been admitted to University Hospitals after suffering a laceration to his liver during Wednesday's practice, Jake Trotter of ESPN.com reports.
Impact
Johnson suffered the injury when rookie tight end Harrison Bryant landed on him during a coverage drill. He's expected to remain hospitalized for one more day for observation. The 2015 first-round pick, who inked a one-year deal with the Browns back in March, should be in the mix to start at nickle cornerback when back to full health.
