Tyler Johnson - Page 2 - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Blanked in Week 6 Johnson didn't catch his only target in Sunday's 13-11 loss to the Broncos.

Impact Justin Fields threw for just 45 yards, so Johnson unsurprisingly failed to get involved in the low-scoring loss. Even if Garrett Wilson (knee) were to sit out Week 7 against the Panthers, Johnson's upside would be capped due to Fields' struggles throwing the ball.

Nonfactor in Week 5 Johnson was not targeted in Sunday's 37-22 loss to the Cowboys.

Impact The veteran wideout from Minnesota was a healthy scratch in the Jets' Week 4 loss to the Dolphins but returned in Week 5. However, Johnson played just three offensive snaps and wasn't involved in the team's offensive gameplan. He appears to be out of favor in the Jets' receiving corps, playing behind Garrett Wilson, Josh Reynolds, Arian Smith and Allen Lazard. If Johnson is active for the Week 6 matchup against the Broncos, he'll likely play another depth role.

Inactive Monday Johnson is inactive for Monday night's game against the Dolphins, Susanna Weir of the Jets' official site reports.

Impact With Johnson the odd man out Monday, Josh Reynolds -- in his return from a two-game absence -- Arian Smith, Allen Lazard and Isaiah Williams are available to handle WR snaps and targets that don't go to clear-cut top option Garrett Wilson. In three games this season, Johnson has recorded a 4/63/0 receiving line on six targets.

Logs 32 yards in Week 3 Johnson caught two of three targets for 32 yards in Sunday's 29-27 loss to the Buccaneers.

Impact For the second consecutive week, the 27-year-old received increased snaps with the Jets' first-team offense while filling in for the injured Josh Reynolds (hamstring). Johnson tied Allen Lazard for the second-most targets among New York receivers, trailing Garrett Wilson's 13 looks. Regardless of if Reynolds returns in the Jets' Week 4 matchup against the Dolphins, Johnson is expected to continue playing a depth role in the team's wide receiver corps.

No catches in Week 2 Johnson didn't catch his only target in Sunday's 30-10 loss to the Bills.

Impact Johnson failed to step up in the absence of Josh Reynolds (hamstring), but nobody else did, either, as Garrett Wilson was the only Jet to record double-digit receiving yards in the lopsided loss. A possible quarterback change from Justin Fields (concussion) to Tyrod Taylor for Week 3 against the Buccaneers is unlikely to change Johnson's uninspiring fantasy outlook.

Signed to Jets' active roster The Jets signed Johnson to the active roster Monday, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.

Impact The Jets had room on the 53-man roster after placing Alijah Vera-Tucker (triceps) on injured reserve Saturday, and they've opted to bring up Johnson from the practice squad to fill that spot. Johnson was elevated for the Jets' Week 1 loss to the Steelers on Sunday, when he played 32 snaps on offense and caught both of his targets for 31 yards, finishing third in receiving yards behind Garrett Wilson (95) and Breece Hall (38). Given his usage in Sunday's regular-season opener, Johnson could be a consistent part of the Jets' offensive scheme moving forward.

Makes two catches in loss Johnson caught both of his targets for 31 yards in Sunday's 34-32 loss to the Steelers.

Impact Johnson finished third on the team in receiving yards behind Garrett Wilson (95) and Breece Hall (38). The Jets don't have many playmakers on offense besides Wilson, Hall and quarterback Justin Fields. Johnson could remain in the mix as a secondary option in the Jets' passing game against the Bills in Week 2.

Added to Jets' practice squad Johnson was released and subsequently added to the Jets' practice squad Wednesday, Eric Allen of the team's official website reports.

Impact Johnson made New York's initial 53-man roster Tuesday, but he was released after the addition of tight end Jelani Woods and two defensive players Wednesday. The wide receiver will now stick around with the Jets' practice unit. He played in 15 regular-season contests with the Rams in 2024, so there's a good chance he earns an elevation to the active roster with New York at some point this season.

Only WR to catch pass from Fields Johnson caught both of his targets for 27 yards in Saturday's 30-10 preseason win over the Packers.

Impact Johnson was the only wide receiver to catch a pass from starting quarterback Justin Fields, who played one drive. The veteran wide receiver added a 21-yard catch from rookie quarterback Brady Cook on the last play of the first quarter. Johnson looks like a lock to make the 53-man roster after impressing the coaching staff in training camp, and there's still time for him to make a case for a starting role.
