Johnson signed with the Raiders on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson was dropped from the Steelers on June 9 but has already found a new home in Las Vegas. The 27-year-old wideout's last in-game action came with Pittsburgh in 2024, when he appeared in three contests and caught his lone target for nine yards on 19 offensive snaps.

The Steelers released Johnson on Tuesday, Teresa Varley of the team's official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson signed on with Pittsburgh as a free agent back in April, but now he'll have to look for another opportunity with a different club. His departure could create more chances at receiver for rookie seventh-rounder Eli Heidenreich.

The Steelers signed Johnson to a contract Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports

EDGE Analysis

Johnson bounced around several practice squads last year without suiting up for a regular-season game. The wide receiver ended on the Broncos' unit, but he'll make a return to the Steelers ahead of training camp. A cousin of legendary former Bengals wide receiver Chad Ochocinco, Johnson will fight for a roster spot as a part of the receiving corps led by DK Metcalf and Michael Pittman.

The Broncos signed Johnson to the practice squad Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson's addition to the practice squad gives the the Broncos an additional option for elevation to the active roster in case one or both of Troy Franklin (hamstring) and Pat Bryant (concussion) are unable to play in Sunday's AFC Championship Game against the Patriots. Johnson spent time with the Buccaneers and Steelers on their respective practice squads in 2025 and last saw regular-season action in Week 8 of the 2024 season with Pittsburgh.

The Steelers are signing Johnson to their practice squad, Mike DeFabo of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson most recently had been on Tampa Bay's practice squad before being cut Dec. 15. He's familiar with the Steelers organization, having been with the team last year and playing in three games, catching his only target for nine yards. Johnson's signing comes in the wake of DK Metcalf being suspended by the NFL for two games following an altercation with a fan this past Sunday. Johnson will provide organizational depth at wideout but isn't likely to garner a major role on game days.

Johnson was cut from the Buccaneers' practice squad Monday, Scott Smith of the team's official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

The UCF product joined the Buccaneers' practice squad in late October, but the team has since decided to move in another direction. Johnson's last in-game action came with the Steelers in 2024, when he appeared in three contests and caught his only target for nine yards.

The Buccaneers signed Johnson to the practice squad Wednesday, Scott Smith of the team's official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson's addition to the Buccaneers' practice squad will give the team additional depth at wide receiver after Mike Evans (collarbone) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday. Johnson was waived by the Steelers with an injury settlement in late August due to a foot injury he sustained during preseason action, but the 27-year-old wideout appears to have fully recovered from the injury and will get a new opportunity in Tampa Bay.

The Giants hosted Johnson (foot) for a workout Friday, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson was with the Steelers in training camp before suffering a foot injury in the preseason finale against the Panthers. Johnson and the Steelers reached an injury settlement in late August, and the 27-year-old wideout has progressed enough in his recovery to work out with teams in an attempt to catch on with a practice squad. He appeared in three regular-season games for Pittsburgh in 2024 and logged one catch for nine yards.

The Steelers waived Johnson (foot) from injured reserve with an injury settlement Friday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson suffered a foot injury during the Steelers' preseason finale against the Panthers. The injury settlement allows the 27-year-old wideout to sign with another team once he is fully healthy. Johnson has played in 23 regular-season games since entering the NFL in May of 2022 as an undrafted free agent.

Johnson (foot) reverted to Pittsburgh's injured reserve list Wednesday, per the NFL's transaction log.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson wasn't picked up by another team after the Steelers waived him with a foot issue Tuesday, so he's now going back to their injured reserve list. He'll have to stay there for the whole 2025 campaign unless he can negotiate an injury settlement with Pittsburgh.
