2024 Fantasy Outlook
Johnson, a 2023 third-round pick out of Oregon, recorded just 16 total tackles and one pass defended across 13 regular-season games during his rookie campaign. However, with offseason addition D.J. Wonnum (quadriceps) beginning training camp on the active/PUP list, Johnson has been working with Carolina's first-team defense and has impressed thus far. Johnson will likely contribute as the Panthers' top rotational edge rusher in 2024, but he could see even more of the field if Wonnum's injury extends into the regular season. Read Past Outlooks
Active at practice
Johnson (knee) has been an active participant at the Panthers' training camp this week, Liam McKeone of SI.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Johnson suffered a knee injury in mid-June, but he appears to have made a full recovery. The 25-year-old is battling to crack Carolina's active roster as a depth option at weakside linebacker in 2024.
