Quentin Johnston - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Lone catch goes for 58-yard TD Johnston caught one of four targets for a 58-yard touchdown in Sunday's 44-22 loss to the Texans.

Impact Johnston's long touchdown catch cut the deficit to 38-15 in the fourth quarter. That was the final pass Justin Herbert (finger) completed before exiting the game. If Herbert can't play against the Ravens in Week 10, Johnston would likely find himself catching passes from DJ Uiagalelei. Johnston's 58 receiving yards set a new season high, surpassing his one-catch, 57-yard effort in Week 6, and Sunday's TD was his first of the season.

Four grabs in loss to Rams Johnston caught all four of his targets for 37 yards in Sunday's 24-9 loss to the Rams.

Impact Johnston's four grabs marked a new personal single-game high through six games this season. One of the least efficient wideouts in the league, Johnston entered Sunday with just eight grabs for 165 yards on 22 targets. He hasn't been playable in fantasy football for weeks and will square off with a stingy Houston secondary in Week 9.

Impact Both Johnston and McConkey were sidelined for Week 5, but the latter entered the league's concussion protocol during the Chargers' Week 6 loss to the Chiefs. Johnston logged 17 targets through his first three games of the regular season, although he's seen only five passes from Justin Herbert over his last two outings, which Johnston turned into two catches for 101 yards. The Chargers average only 168.2 passing yards per game this season -- which ranks 28th NFL -- and they face a Rams defense that boasts the fourth-best passing defense in the league (186.3 passing yards allowed per game).

Just short of TD on 57-yard catch Johnston caught one of three targets for 57 yards in Sunday's 22-6 loss to the Chiefs.

Impact Johnston needed just one catch to set a season high in receiving yards, but he was tackled at the 1-yard line to keep him without a touchdown this season after consecutive eight-touchdown regular seasons. The Chargers proceeded to back up 11 yards from there and settled for a field goal. Johnston has caught a deep pass in each of the past two games, securing a 44-yard catch in the Week 5 loss to Seattle prior to the 57-yard catch against the Chiefs. The 2023 first-round pick has just eight catches through five appearances heading into LA's Week 7 bye.

Cleared for Sunday's game Johnston (chest) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Noah Furtado of The Athletic reports.

Impact Ladd McConkey (foot) has also been cleared to play, while Tre' Harris (hamstring) has been ruled out. Harris seemed to be threatening Johnston for the No. 2 receiver job, but for now it'll likely be Johnston's role.

Remains limited in practice Johnston (chest) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.

Impact Johnston has operated with a cap on his reps in the Chargers' first two Week 6 practices.

Gets in limited session Johnston (chest) was listed as a limited participant on Wednesday's injury report.

Impact A chest injury kept Johnston off the field for Week 5, but he was able to get some work in Wednesday. Fellow pass catchers Ladd McConkey (foot) and Tre' Harris (hamstring) are also banged up -- the latter did not practice Wednesday -- so it remains to be seen what the Los Angeles receiver room will look like Sunday against the Chiefs.

Out for Week 5 Johnston (chest) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Denver

Impact With Johnston ruled out and Ladd McConkey (foot) listed as questionable, Tre' Harris may end up being the No. 1 wide receiver for Justin Herbert this week. There was no hint earlier this week of Johnston's chest injury being serious, but he'll apparently miss at least one game.

Misses open portion Friday Johnston (chest) wasn't practicing during the portion of Friday's session open to the media, Noah Furtado of The Athletic reports.

Impact With Johnston having been limited Wednesday and Thursday, this could be more of a rest day for the wideout. The winless Chargers appear set to head into Sunday's game against the Broncos without Ladd McConkey (foot) after he missed practice all week, so Johnston is going to be needed alongside Tre' Harris at wide receiver.

OCTOBER 9 • ROTOWIRE

Remains limited Thursday Johnston (chest) was a limited participant at Thursday's practice.

Impact A chest injury has resulted in back-to-back capped sessions for Johnston to kick off Week 5 prep, giving him just one more opportunity to get back to full Friday before the Chargers potentially tag him with a designation for Sunday's game against the Broncos. With Ladd McConkey (foot) not practicing Wednesday or Thursday and potentially trending toward an absence, an active Johnston likely will be the top pass catcher available to QB Justin Herbert this weekend.

NFL Trade Deadline: League Execs Expect A Handful Of Standout WRs To Be Targets

Dealing with chest injury Johnston was limited at Wednesday's practice due to a chest injury.

Impact The Chargers' receiving corps is banged up at the moment, with all of WR Ladd McConkey (foot, DNP on Wednesday), WR Brenen Thompson (quadriceps, LP) and TE Charlie Kolar (forearm, LP) dealing with health concerns, and WR KeAndre Lambert-Smith (hamstring) and TE David Njoku (fibula) on IR. Johnston has had every opportunity to produce this season, with at least a 75 percent snap share in all four games, but he so far has just nine touches for 111 yards from scrimmage and no TDs. Assuming McConkey isn't able to play Sunday versus the Broncos and Johnson suits up, the latter could be the unquestioned No. 1 pass catcher for QB Justin Herbert.

OCTOBER 7 • ROTOWIRE

One catch in loss to Seattle Johnston caught one of two targets for 44 yards in Sunday's 30-23 loss to the Seahawks. He added one carry for minus-4 yards.

Impact Despite Ladd McConkey (foot) playing just 24 of 71 offensive snaps, including zero in the second half, Johnston was a ghost most of the afternoon before hauling in a deep ball in the fourth quarter. Johnston continues to pace the team in snaps and routes at wide receiver, but he has little to show for it this season, posting just seven catches for 108 yards and no touchdowns on 19 targets. Johnston won't be a recommended fantasy play next Sunday against the Broncos, even if Patrick Surtain (ankle) and Riley Moss (ribs) are still banged up.
