Full go Wednesday
Johnson (hip) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.
ANALYSIS
Johnson was inactive for Carolina's Week 4 loss to the Bengals after sustaining a hip injury the week prior, but following Wednesday's full practice, it appears he's moved past the issue. Expect the 28-year-old to continue serving as a depth piece in the Panthers' secondary as the team travels to Chicago in Week 5.

Johnson and fellow starting safety Justin Reid probably have a dreary season ahead cleaning up the never-ending mess that might be the Houston defense, but for IDP purposes that should make both of their roles fruitful, perhaps very much so. Johnson is a former cornerback who converted to safety last year, and the results were mostly good. Johnson is an exceptional athlete by safety standards, and pairing that athleticism with his unique wingspan could make him a rangy threat downfield. He had 49 tackles in the final seven games last year. A similar tackle rate is the hope.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Trade rumors resurface
Johnson could be dealt prior to the Nov. 2 trade deadline, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Fowler reported prior to the start of the season that Johnson could be on the move. While that didn't come to fruition, Fowler is again suggesting that the Texans could trade Johnson based on the presence of Eric Murray and Justin Reid at safety. However, that doesn't seem to mesh with the team's actual plans, as Murray has played solely on special teams for the last two games, while Johnson has had an expanded role in the secondary.
