Packers' Anthony Johnson: Snags first-career INT in win
Johnson had one solo tackle and an interception in Sunday's 20-3 win over the Rams.
Johnson got the start at strong safety with Rudy Ford (calf) ruled out Sunday. Johnson took advantage of the opportunity, playing on all defensive snaps and getting his first career interception off Brett Rypien on a pass intended for Cooper Kupp early in the fourth quarter. The rookie safety only had one tackle for the game, but that's more to do with Rypien completing just 13 of 28 passes. If Ford is unable to practice over the next few days, Johnson would figure to get the start once again in Week 10 against the Steelers.

Packers' Anthony Johnson: Sitting out practice
Johnson (knee) will not practice Thursday, Ryan Wood of USA Today reports.
Johnson's absence is to rest the injury, which is not expected to be a long-term issue. The rookie safety is expected to fill a depth role in the secondary this season. However, he'll need to focus on his recovery first, so he can be ready to compete Week 1 against the Bears.
