Inks PS deal with Gang Green The Jets signed Johnson to the practice squad Tuesday.

Impact Johnson failed to crack the Cowboys' 53-man roster at the end of training camp, but the 2020 fifth-rounder will get a new opportunity with the Jets on the practice squad, along with fellow wideout Sterling Shepard. First-round wide receiver Omar Cooper is considered week-to-week due to an ankle injury, so both Johnson and Shepard are candidates to be elevated to the Jets' active roster for Week 2 against the Packers on Sunday if Cooper is ruled out.

Staying in Dallas The Cowboys signed Johnson to a one-year deal Monday, Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

Impact Johnson played in 12 games for the Cowboys in 2025, catching 12 balls for 197 yards and one touchdown. The addition of Marquez Valdes-Scantling means there is yet another wide receiver Johnson will need to outperform in training camp to remain on the active roster. If the 27-year-old can maintain his role, he will likely maintain his 2025 production level.

Finishes with 12 catches in 2025 Johnson caught 12 of 18 targets for 197 yards and one touchdown in 12 appearances during the 2025 season.

Impact Johnson briefly stepped up while the Jets dealt with numerous injuries at wide receiver, leading the team in receiving yards in Week 7 and Week 8 while reaching 60 receiving yards in both games. He had just two catches for 10 yards after the Week 9 bye, though, as Johnson dropped down the depth chart following the team's trades for wide receivers Adonai Mitchell and John Metchie. The 27-year-old Johnson will be an unrestricted free agent this offseason and will likely have to compete for a roster spot in training camp somewhere.

One catch in Week 16 Johnson caught his lone target for seven yards during Sunday's 29-6 loss to the Saints.

Impact After being a healthy scratch in the Jets' last two contests, Johnson played nine offensive snaps during Sunday's loss. In 11 games this season, the Minnesota product has caught 11 of 17 targets for 194 yards and a touchdown. He's expected to remain a minimal portion of the Jets' offensive game plan in the Week 17 matchup against the Patriots.

Johnson's next chance to play is Week 16 against the Saints on Sunday, Dec. 21.

Healthy inactive for Week 14 Johnson (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against Miami, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Johnson will be a healthy scratch for the second time in the Jets' last three games despite the absences of Josh Reynolds (hip - IR) and Garrett Wilson (knee - IR). John Metchie, Adonai Mitchell, Allen Lazard, running back Breece Hall and rookie tight Mason Taylor will serve as Tyrod Taylor's top pass catchers for Sunday's AFC East tilt. Johnson's next opportunity to play is Week 15 against the Jaguars on Sunday, Dec. 14.

No targets in Week 11 Johnson wasn't targeted in Thursday's 27-14 loss to the Patriots.

Impact Johnson reached 60 receiving yards in both of the previous games the Jets played without Garrett Wilson (knee), but those came before the team added John Metchie and Adonai Mitchell via trade. Mitchell and Metchie combined for four of the five catches by Jets wide receivers in Thursday's loss. Johnson was on the field for 53 percent of snaps on offense, but given Justin Fields' inability to consistently complete passes to wide receivers coupled with the increased competition for targets at the position, Johnson's fantasy appeal is limited heading into a Week 12 trip to Baltimore.

Cools off after bye Johnson didn't catch his only target in Sunday's 27-20 win over the Browns.

Impact Johnson led the Jets in receiving yards each of their previous two games but was a non-factor in Sunday's unusual win, which was fueled by a pair of touchdowns on special teams. Garrett Wilson (knee) departed the game in his return from a two-game absence, and Wilson will likely join Josh Reynolds (hip) on the sidelines Thursday against the Patriots. Johnson thus has another opportunity to step up in Week 11, though the Jets bolstered their wide receiver depth by trading for Adonai Mitchell and John Metchie.

Scores first TD of season Johnson caught three of five targets for 64 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 39-38 win over the Bengals.

Impact Johnson stepped up in the absences of Garrett Wilson (knee) and Josh Reynolds (hip). The highlight of Johnson's performance was a 15-yard touchdown catch in the second quarter. This was the second straight game in which Johnson reached the 60-yard threshold and led the Jets in receiving yards. The Jets may get one or both of their injured wideouts back for Week 10 against the Browns following a Week 9 bye.

Leading receiver in Week 7 loss Johnson caught all three of his targets for 60 yards in Sunday's 13-6 loss to the Panthers.

Impact Johnson led the Jets in receiving yards in the absence of Garrett Wilson (knee), while no teammate contributed more than 31 receiving yards. Tyrod Taylor replaced the ineffective Justin Fields at halftime and connected with Johnson for gains of 20 and 35 yards in the second half. If Taylor gets the starting nod for Week 8 against the Bengals and Wilson remains sidelined, Johnson could offer some value based on the chemistry he showed with Taylor in the loss to Carolina.
