MAY 3 • THENEWSTRIBUNE.COM

Fifth-year option declined by Bolts Johnson had his fifth-year option declined by the Chargers on Thursday, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

Impact The offensive lineman has started all 51 games he's played in across three pro seasons. A 2022 first-round pick, Johnson should be in line to start again in 2025, as Los Angeles' only major addition to the offensive line in the offseason came in the form of free-agent signing Mekhi Becton. Becton should slide in at one of the guard spots with Johnson, last year's center Bradley Bozeman and tackles Joe Alt and Rashawn Slater filling out the rest of the line, though Johnson might see time at center this year.

Cleared to play Thursday Johnson (ankle) is active for Thursday night's game against the Broncos.

Impact Johnson was a DNP for the Chargers' two walkthrough sessions due to an ankle injury, but he was able to log a full practice Wednesday. The 2022 first-round pick will play Thursday and serve as the Bolts' starting left guard.

Still dealing with ankle injury Johnson (ankle) was listed on the Chargers' estimated injury report Monday, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

Impact Johnson suffered an ankle injury during the Chargers' 40-17 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday. It didn't appear to be a serious matter as he wasn't on Monday's estimated injury report, but his omission was an error as the Chargers instead listed Quentin Johnston. Jamaree Salyer would be the top candidate to start at left guard against the Broncos on Thursday if Johnson is unable to progress in his recovery enough to play.

Still dealing with ankle injury Johnson (ankle) didn't participate in Tuesday's practice.

Impact The Chargers' initial Week 16 injury report listed receiver Quentin Johnston as a non-participant Monday with an ankle injury, but Daniel Popper of The Athletic notes that that label was instead meant for Johnson, whose name was absent from the report. Los Angeles' updated injury report now correctly lists Johnson as a non-participant for the second day in a row, putting the left guard's status in question for Thursday's game against the Broncos.

DECEMBER 18, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Appears clear of ankle injury Johnson (ankle) does not appear on the Chargers' estimated injury report Monday.

Impact Johnson was removed from Sunday's loss to Tampa Bay due to an ankle issue and was replaced by Jamaree Salyer at left guard. Los Angeles held a walkthrough rather than a full practice Monday, but it's nonetheless a good sign for Johnson's health that he doesn't have a designation on the injury report. Unless Johnson pops up on the injury report Tuesday or Wednesday, he should be good to go for Thursday's Week 16 game against Denver.
