Impact Johnson has spent training camp with Dallas, and after he was unable to make their 53-man roster, he ultimately ended up on their practice squad, where he's remained all season. His exit comes as the team needed to create space with the signings of Damien Wilson and La'el Collins to the practice squad.

Finds new squad Johnson signed a reserve/future contract with the 49ers on Monday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.

Impact Johnson appeared in four games during the 2022 season, two with the Raiders and two with the Texans. The 27-year-old has also spent time with the Jaguars and most notably the Chargers, with whom he had 20 catches on 26 targets for 398 yards and three touchdowns in his rookie 2020 campaign. He'll work to make the most of his new opportunity in San Fransisco in 2023.

Back to inactive list Johnson (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Giants.

Impact With Nico Collins (groin) and Brandin Cooks (wrist) returning from two- and one-game absences, respectively, the Texans won't have a need for Johnson, who would have sat fifth on the depth chart at receiver had he suited up. While serving as Houston's No. 3 wideout in the team's Week 9 loss to the Eagles, Johnson played 42 percent of the snaps on offense but contributed just one reception for eight yards.

Catches lone target in loss Johnson caught his lone target for eight yards in Thursday's 29-17 loss to the Eagles in Week 9.

Impact Johnson was active for the second time since the Texans signed him off the Raiders' practice squad two weeks ago and snared his first reception. His snap count increased from five to 25, but that was due to Brandin Cooks (personal) and Nico Collins (groin) being unavailable. Cooks is expected back for Week 10 against the Giants while Collins' status is murky.

Makes Houston debut Johnson played five snaps and was not targeted in Sunday's 17-10 loss to the Titans in Week 8.

Impact Johnson made his debut for the Texans, who scooped him off waivers last week after he was cut from the Raiders' practice squad. With Nico Collins (groin) sidelined, there was a need for a depth body at wideout. Houston head coach Lovie Smith said Collins should return soon, but he was not clear if that meant in time for Thursday's game against the Eagles. That could give Johnson more time in the active lineup. Another moving part is Brandin Cooks, who's been the subject of recent trade rumors ahead of Tuesday's trade deadline. If the Texans trade Cooks and/or Collins isn't ready, Johnson would retain a role among an uninspiring group of wideouts.

Signed by Houston Houston signed Johnson to its active roster Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Impact Johnson was recently released by the Raiders after bouncing back and forth between the team's practice squad and active roster. The undrafted wideout out of Oklahoma State caught 20 passes for 398 yards and three touchdowns across 12 appearances during his rookie campaign with the Chargers in 2020, but he's secured just two receptions for 16 yards over his past 12 NFL appearances -- split between Las Vegas and Jacksonville.
