Replaces Damien Harris on roster The Bills signed Johnson to the 53-man roster Friday.

Impact He had resided on the Bills' practice squad prior to the transaction, while fellow running back Damien Harris (concussion/neck) was placed on injured reserve in a corresponding move. Johnson will provide depth in a Buffalo backfield that also includes James Cook and Latavius Murray. The running back out of Maryland has appeared in 62 NFL games and has a career average of 4.4 yards per carry.

Back with the Jets Johnson is signing a one-year deal to remain with the Jets, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Impact In 17 games with the Jets during the 2022 season, Johnson recorded 30 carries for 160 yards and one touchdown, while adding 12 catches (on 24 targets) for 88 yards. Now that he's back with the team for 2023, Johnson is slated to reprise his depth role in New York's backfield behind Breece Hall (knee), Michael Carter and Zonovan Knight. The 2019 sixth-rounder is also a key special teamer for the Jets, per Cimini.

Minimal role throughout 2022 Johnson rushed five times for 12 yards and caught two of three targets for 13 yards in Sunday's 11-6 loss to the Dolphins. He wraps up the 2022 season with 30 carries for 160 yards...

Impact Johnson set career lows in both rushing and receiving yards in his fourth NFL season, though he averaged a career-high 5.3 yards per carry. The 25-year-old running back out of Maryland will be an unrestricted free agent this offseason.

Leading rusher in Seattle Johnson carried the ball eight times for 46 yards and caught one of five targets for 11 yards in Sunday's 23-6 loss to the Seahawks.

Impact It was a nightmarish performance from the entire Jets offense in a must-win game, and Johnson wound up leading the team in rushing yards. It's only the second time all season he's topped 17 rushing yards, and with New York now eliminated from playoff contention, it's not clear how the backfield workload will be split between Johnson, Zonovan Knight and Michael Carter in Week 18 against the Dolphins.

JANUARY 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Seven yards on TNF Johnson rushed twice for seven yards and wasn't targeted in Thursday's 19-3 loss to Jacksonville.

Impact Johnson's meager rushing total was enough to lead all Jets running backs, as New York's banged-up offensive line failed to open up any holes. With Zach Wilson struggling mightily, New York inserted the Taysom Hill-like Chris Streveler under center in the third quarter, and Streveler wound up leading the team with 54 rushing yards.

Catches six passes with Carter out Johnson rushed once for three yards and caught six of seven targets for 38 yards in Sunday's 27-22 loss to Minnesota.

Impact With Michael Carter (ankle) inactive, Johnson was the Jets' running back of choice in passing situations. Johnson will either take on a similar role in Week 14 against the Bills if Carter sits again or be relegated to the bench if Carter returns, as Zonovan Knight has emerged as the Jets' primary running back since Carter went down.

DECEMBER 4, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Committee role likely in Week 13 Jets head coach Robert Saleh said Johnson is expected to be part of a three-man backfield committee Sunday against the Vikings that also includes Zonovan Knight and James Robinson,...

Impact Robinson was the odd man out as a healthy inactive in last week's win over the Bears, but Saleh suggested that Robinson, Johnson and Knight will all see opportunities Sunday with lead back Michael Carter (ankle) listed as doubtful and not expected to play. After Carter departed last week upon taking two snaps in the second half, Knight finished with a 64 percent snap share after halftime, compared to a 29 percent mark from Johnson. The addition of Robinson to the mix further complicates matters, so it may be tough on Johnson to replicate the strong production he delivered against the Bears during his limited playing time. Johnson carried five times for 62 yards and hauled in one of two targets for a 16-yard gain across his 15 total snaps.

NFL Odds Week 12: Wacky wins and bad beats, including Jaguars-Ravens

Scores while Carter sprains ankle Johnson rushed five times for 62 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-10 win over the Bears. He added a 16-yard catch and was targeted twice.

Impact James Robinson (coach's decision) was inactive and Michael Carter suffered a sprained ankle, leaving Johnson in a change-of-pace role behind rookie Zonovan Knight. Johnson's effective with the ball in his hands but has been plagued by a litany of drops and other miscues when given extended run in the past. The impressive burst and effective stiff arm Johnson displayed on a 32-yard touchdown run in the third quarter could earn him a few extra looks in Week 13 against the Vikings, as the Jets will likely be without Carter.

Four carries in Week 11 Johnson rushed four times for four yards and didn't catch his only target in Sunday's 10-3 loss to the Patriots.

Impact The running back trio of Michael Carter, James Robinson and Johnson combined for 33 rushing yards on 19 carries, so Johnson wasn't alone in his inability to get going on the ground. Limited to a depth role in a sputtering Jets offense, Johnson's unlikely to garner much fantasy consideration in Week 12, even with the shaky Bears defense in town.

NOVEMBER 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Two carries in win Johnson rushed twice for 17 yards and wasn't targeted in Sunday's 20-17 win over the Bills.

Impact James Robinson (knee) was viewed as questionable heading into the game, but he suited up and handled 15 touches. With 13 touches going to Michael Carter, there weren't many opportunities left over for Johnson, who is a distant third on New York's running back depth chart.

NOVEMBER 7, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Two carries, two targets in Week 8 Johnson rushed twice for six yards and didn't catch either of his two targets in Sunday's 22-17 loss to the Patriots.

Impact New York's acquisition of James Robinson via trade earlier in the week kept Johnson relegated to a third-string role behind Robinson and Michael Carter. Breece Hall (knee) is out for the season, but Johnson's role in the Jets backfield remains minimal.

OCTOBER 30, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Climbs up depth chart Johnson is expected to step in as the top change-of-pace option behind Michael Carter beginning with Sunday's game against the Patriots after tests confirmed lead back Breece Hall...

Impact Johnson already noticed an uptick in playing time when Hall exited in the second quarter of the 16-9 win over Denver, logging seven snaps on offense after playing just one in the prior four contests combined. During his limited time on the field, Johnson turned his two touches into nine yards, and while his output could increase from here, he's still unlikely to emerge as a viable fantasy option in most leagues with Carter capable of filling Hall's three-down role. Carter dominated the snaps and touches out of the backfield following Hall's departure Sunday, carrying 13 times for 29 yards and adding 45 yards on two receptions across his 40 plays.

OCTOBER 24, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Two touches after Hall injury Johnson rushed once for three yards and caught his only target for six yards in Sunday's 16-9 win over the Broncos.

Impact Breece Hall (knee) departed in the first half with what's feared to be a torn ACL. Michael Carter stepped into the lead role in Hall's absence, while Johnson took on the change-of-pace duties previously occupied by Carter. If Hall's indeed done for the season, Johnson should have a clear path to a handful of touches per game as Carter's backup moving forward.

OCTOBER 24, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Three targets in Week 2 win Johnson didn't have a rushing attempt and caught one of three targets for four yards in Sunday's 31-30 win over the Browns.

Impact Johnson was targeted out of the backfield three times in Week 2 after going without a touch in the Jets' season opener. As long as both Breece Hall and Michael Carter are healthy, Johnson will remain an afterthought on offense.
