Quentin Johnston - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Makes three grabs in WC loss Johnston secured three of six targets for 20 yards during Sunday's 16-3 loss to the Patriots in the wild-card round.

Impact Johnston finished second on the Chargers in terms of targets behind Keenan Allen (eight), but like the rest of Los Angeles' pass-catching offense which Ladd McConkey led with just 32 receiving yards, he was inefficient versus New England's defense. Still, during the regular season Johnston demonstrated improved chemistry with quarterback Justin Herbert, as the 2023 first-round pick managed a respectable 51-735-8 receiving line (84 targets) across 14 regular-season appearances. He was hampered by shin, hamstring, groin and shoulder injuries during the second half of the season. Johnston will look to take another step forward in 2026, which is currently positioned as the final year of his rookie deal with the Chargers, though the team could exercise his fifth-year option this offseason.

Doesn't play in Week 18 Johnston did not play in Sunday's 19-3 loss to the Broncos.

Impact Like several other key contributors in the Chargers' offense, the team afforded Johnston the day to rest in Week 18 as Los Angeles looks ahead to the AFC playoffs. The 24-year-old wideout did not see the field Sunday, ending the 2025 regular season with 51 catches for 735 yards and eight touchdowns on 84 targets, adding two rushes for seven yards. Johnston's eight trips to the end zone matched his career high while his receptions and yards nearly matched his totals from last season. The TCU product continues to develop chemistry with quarterback Justin Herbert, and he'll look to be an impact player Sunday when the Chargers visit the Patriots in the first round of the wild-card playoffs.

Paces pass catchers in loss Johnston brought in five of eight targets for 98 yards in the Chargers' 20-16 loss to the Texans on Saturday.

Impact Johnston got off to a slow start, but he ended up giving his day a significant boost via a team-high 60-yard catch late in the first half. The speedster finished with a team-high yardage tally and co-led the Chargers in targets as well, and Johnston is now averaging 101.5 receiving yards over his last two contests as a Week 18 road clash against the Broncos approaches.

Leads team in receiving yards Johnston caught four of his five targets for 104 yards and a touchdown in the 34-17 win over the Cowboys on Sunday.

Impact Johnston was exceptional after missing the previous week due to a groin injury. The 2023 first-round pick had just 16 catches for 156 yards over the past seven games as Los Angeles struggled to adapt after a litany of offensive line injuries. Thankfully for fantasy managers, Dallas presented absolutely zero issues for Justin Herbert, setting the stage for Johnston's massive game. It's hard to imagine Johnston putting together another significant day Week 17 against the fearsome Texans defense, but he's undoubtedly a key piece for the offense in terms of the deep-play threat.

Back in action for Week 16 Johnston (groin) is active for Sunday's game against the Cowboys.

Impact After sitting out the Chargers' Week 15 win over the Chiefs, Johnston was a limited participant throughout Week 16 prep before taking a questionable tag into Sunday. The third-year wideout was apparently able to demonstrate enough progress in his recovery from the groin injury to gain clearance for Sunday, though it's unclear if he'll immediately reclaim the heavy snap share he had handled in each of his previous 12 contests. If the Chargers end up restricting Johnston's snap count to some degree, rookie Tre' Harris could retain a larger role in the passing game after recording three catches for 49 yards on five targets in Week 15.

DECEMBER 21, 2025 • SI.COM

Questionable for Week 16 Johnston (groin) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at Dallas.

Impact Johnston sat out this past Sunday's win at Kansas City after he showed up on the Chargers' final Week 15 injury report as limited due to a groin issue. He then had practice restrictions Wednesday and Thursday before the team tagged him with a designation for Week 16 action. His status ultimately will be confirmed about 90 minutes before Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff.

Stays limited Thursday Johnston (groin) was limited at practice Thursday.

Impact Following back-to-back limited sessions, Johnston will likely need to practice fully Friday in order to avoid an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Cowboys. After being added to the Chargers' Week 15 injury report last Friday, a groin injury kept the wideout from facing the Chiefs in last weekend's 16-13 win. In his absence from that contest, Tre' Harris logged a season-high 85 percent snap share alongside fellow WRs Ladd McConkey and Keenan Allen.

Chargers vs. Cowboys Injury Report: Quentin Johnston Among 6 Limited on Wednesday Take a look at the Week 16 Injury Report ahead of Sunday's game against the Cowboys

DECEMBER 17, 2025 • CHARGERS.COM

Limited at practice Johnston (groin) was a limited participant in practice Wednesday.

Impact Rookie wideout Tre' Harris took on an 84 percent snap share with Johnston absent for Sunday's 16-13 win over the Chargers. Johnston was a late addition to last week's injury report, and while the issue doesn't seem serious, he may need a full practice Thursday/Friday to enter this weekend in good shape for Sunday's favorable matchup with Dallas.

DECEMBER 17, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Spotted at practice johnston (groin) is participating in practice Wednesday, Kris Rhim of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Johnston was added to Los Angeles' injury report in Week 15 late, after being limited at practice Friday, and initially listed as questionable before eventually being ruled out for the team's win over the Chiefs. It seems likely that he'll be limited again Wednesday, in which case the extent of Johnston's practice activity Thursday and Friday stand to be the deciding factors in his status for Sunday's game against Dallas. Even if healthy enough to return in time for a favorable matchup against the Cowboys' defense, it will be difficult for fantasy managers to rely on Johnston, given that he's exceeded 50 receiving yards just once in his last eight appearances.
