Johnson (hip) was released from injured reserve Thursday, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson was placed on injured reserve prior to Week 1, and will now be eligible to try his luck in free agency. The 26-year-old cornerback could very well get a shot with another team, as he was slated to start for Seattle entering this season

The Seahawks placed Johnson (hip) on injured reserve Saturday, NFL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson was originally deemed questionable for Week 1, but it appears the injury is more serious than originally thought. He was projected to start at cornerback this season, so it is a big loss for the Seahawks out of the gate. Akeem King was subsequently promoted from the practice squad to help provide depth at the position. Neiko Thorpe, Justin Coleman, and Tre Flowers are all options to see increased roles as a result.

Johnson (hip) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Broncos, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson has yet to practice this week, but with the Seahawks lacking reliable options in their secondary, they will hope that the 26-year-old cornerback can still go Sunday. If Johnson is ultimately forced to sit out, Neiko Thorpe figures to see an expanded role on the back end of Seattle's defense.

Johnson (hip) was a non-participant in Thursday's practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson, who was named the starting right cornerback earlier this week, appears to be nursing a hip injury of undisclosed severity. It seems likely that Seattle is simply approaching Johnson's injury with caution, considering the team's lack of reliable depth at the position with Byron Maxwell (hip) on injured reserve and rookie Tre Flowers still acclimating to the position. Johnson should be considered questionable for Sunday's season-opener against the Broncos.

Johnson will be the starting right cornerback Sunday against the Broncos, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson so much competition at the start of camp that he was basically penciled as the No. 3 corner. Byron Maxwell (hip) was placed on injured reserve and rookie Tre Flowers hasn't fully acclimated since he shifted over from safety. Johnson should be ready for the job after he started 16 games for the 49ers last season, making 77 tackles, seven pass breakups and one pick-six.

Johnson (foot) made one solo tackle in Saturday's preseason game against the Chargers.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson's the wildcard in the competition for the starting right cornerback position, battling against veteran Byron Maxwell and rookie Tre Flowers. It's Johnson's first year in Seattle after spending four with the 49ers, where he was a starter in 2017 and recorded 77 tackles, seven pass breakups and one pick-six.

Johnson (foot) passed his physical Saturday per NFL Media transaction log.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson was placed on the Physically Unable to Perform list prior to training camp after breaking his foot during minicamp last month. The injury required surgery, but his successful physical indicates he could be in line to return to practice relatively soon. He figures to compete with Shaquill Griffin and Byron Maxwell for a role in the Seahawks' secondary.

Johnson (foot) was placed on the PUP list for the start of training camp, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic Seattle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson broke his foot during minicamp last month and underwent surgery to repair the injury. While he doesn't have a clear return timetable, it's possible he could return during camp and challenge Shaquill Griffin and Byron Maxwell for a primary role in the secondary.

Per coach Pete Carroll, Johnson broke a bone in his foot and will undergo surgery, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson is a new arrival in Seattle after spending four years with San Francisco, and he's looking to harvest on Richard Sherman's departure. The 26-year-old corner carried a heavy workload in 2017, playing 1,029 defensive snaps while recording 77 tackles, seven pass breakups and one pick-six. The timing isn't ideal as Johnson is battling against Shaquill Griffin and Byron Maxwell for a steady role. No timeline has been released for his recovery.

Johnson will sign with the Seahawks, Mike Garafolo of the NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson started all 16 games for San Francisco in 2017, racking up 77 tackles, seven pass breakups and a pick-six along the way. He'll likely fill the empty spot in the starting lineup vacated by cornerback Richard Sherman, who signed with the 49ers last month.
