Johnson transitioned from cornerback to safety in 2020 and finished with 76 tackles.
Johnson, drafted as a cornerback in the second round of the 2019 draft, successfully transitioned to safety in 2020. He was the team's top-graded safety, per Pro Football Focus. Johnson moved into a full-time role after Justin Reid's season-ending thumb injury in Week 14 and didn't miss a snap over the final three games. Johnson's contract runs through 2022, but his role is unclear pending sweeping changes on a defense that ranked 30th overall in the NFL (24th against the pass).
Johnson recorded 11 tackles (six solo) across 76 defensive snaps in Sunday's loss to the Bengals.
Johnson set a new career high for single-game tackles, reaching the double-digit mark for the first time. He also played in 100 percent of the snaps Sunday. Through 15 games this season, Johnson has recorded 72 tackles (55 solo).
Johnson (knee) is active for Sunday's game versus the Colts.
Johnson will start at free safety in Sunday's divisional game despite being a late addition to the injury report Friday. The second-year defensive back has accrued 52 tackles through 13 games.
Johnson (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game versus the Colts, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.
Johnson made his first appearance on the injury report Friday, as he was listed as a limited participant. If Johnson's ruled out, Jonathan Owens should pick up the excess reps behind starting safeties A.J. Moore and Eric Murray.
Johnson recorded eight tackles (six solo) in Sunday's 26-20 loss to the Colts.
Johnson played 68 percent of the snaps on defense and notched a new career high for tackles in a game. The second-year defensive back has started in just one game this season, but this is his third straight outing with more than 65 percent of the defensive snaps. Johnson will look to build on this performance in Week 14 against the Bears.
Johnson had five tackles and two quarterback hits in Sunday's 27-20 win over the Patriots.
Johnson worked effectively as a blitzer, getting to quarterback Cam Newton twice and forcing him to throw incomplete on a fourth down that sealed the win. The second-year backup safety plays all over the secondary for the Texans and has 32 tackles over 10 games while playing 51 percent of the snaps.
Johnson made six solo tackles -- one for a loss -- in Sunday's 27-25 win over the Jaguars.
This was Johnson's second-highest snap share of the year, and he capitalized on the increased reps with a season high in tackles. Johnson's still behind starters Justin Reid and Eric Murray in terms of usage, so he'll be tough to depend on barring an injury to one of those two.
Johnson will continue to work at safety despite the injury to cornerback Bradley Roby (knee), Aaron Reiss of The Athletic reports.
The 2019 second-round pick has been working as Houston's third safety throughout the first half of the season, and interim coach Romeo Crennel said, "We'd be doing the kid a bit of a disservice if we keep bouncing him from position to position. Right now, Lonnie is a safety." Johnson has 20 total tackles through seven games and should continue to play a rotational role at safety even if Roby is sidelined.
Johnson (illness) is expected to have a larger role Week 4 with A.J. Moore (hamstring) landing on injured reserve, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Johnson, who was a limited participant at Thursday's practice, filled in for Moore last Sunday and played a season-high 43 snaps (54 percent) in a loss to the Steelers. He's been the third safety to start the season but will see his role expand against the Cowboys, the league's top-ranked passing offense. Johnson's a big-bodied safety-cornerback, representing a physical prototype at the position, and gives the Texans a larger presence in the secondary than Moore.
Johnson finished his rookie season with 41 tackles and seven passes defensed over 14 games in 2019.
Johnson was Houston's second-round draft pick in 2019 and immediately stepped into a significant role. Unfortunately, as a rookie cornerback in the NFL, he did not deliver on the potential of a 54th-overall pick. The Texans believe Johnson will have a good future, per Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com, but he was ranked last at his position by Pro Football Focus. With a few cornerbacks entering free agency or not being brought back, Johnson could move up the depth chart and gain a larger role in 2020, although the Texans are expected to add at least one high-profile, free-agent defensive back.
Johnson (ankle) is expected to play this week against the Patriots, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Johnson sat out Week 12 against the Colts after injuring his ankle the previous week against the Ravens. The rookie cornerback was a limited participant Wednesday and Thursday but is trending in the right direction.
Johnson (ankle) is ruled out for Thursday's game against the Colts.
After incurring an ankle injury during this past Sunday's loss to the Ravens, Johnson was unable to practice all week and won't suit up for the divisional clash. Bradley Roby (hamstring) is a game-time call, so if he can't go Johnathan Joseph and Gareon Conley figure to start with Vernon Hargreaves and Keion Crossen rotating in.
Johnson (foot) is a game-time decision ahead of Thursday's clash with the Colts, Aaron Reiss of The Athletic reports.
Johnson left Sunday's loss to Baltimore after suffering a foot injury in the third quarter. He did not return. Johnson certainly will need to get some amount of practice reps under his belt if he has any chance of facing the Colts on Thursday.
Johnson (foot) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Ravens.
It's unclear how Johnson suffered the injury, but he was forced to leave the game in the third quarter. As long as he's sidelined, look for Gareon Conley and Keion Crossen to see an increase in depth snaps.
Johnson did not appear on Wednesday's edition of the Week 11 injury report after passing a baseline neurological exam.
Since suffering a concussion during Week 8's win over Oakland, Johnson has passed every phase of the NFL's concussion protocol, resulting in his omission from Wednesday's injury report for Week 11. The 24-year-old cornerback is on track to face Baltimore on Sunday.
Johnson (concussion) will not travel to London for Sunday's tilt against the Jaguars.
Johnson suffered a concussion during Week 8's win over the Raiders, so his lack of availability isn't much of a surprise. He'll need to fully clear the league's five-step protocol for head injuries before returning to action.
Johnson (concussion) didn't participate at Wednesday's practice.
Johnson sustained the concussion during Sunday's win over the Raiders, so it's no real surprise to see him sitting out only a couple days later. The rookie second-round pick will need to fully clear the concussion protocol before retaking the field.
Johnson exited Sunday's game against the Raiders with a concussion and won't return, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.
The rookie second-round pick joins the walking wounded among the Texans' secondary, as Johnathan Joseph (hamstring) and Bradley Roby (hamstring) were inactive for this contest. The Texans will finish the contest with Gareon Conley, Keion Crossen and Cornell Armstrong as their remaining cornerbacks.
Johnson (groin) is active for Sunday's game versus the Falcons.
The rookie second-round pick will line up as the Texans' No. 2 corner against a fierce pass attack. Matt Ryan has thrown for at least 300 yards in each game this year, so Johnson will likely look to contain Mohamed Sanu in this contest.
Johnson (groin) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus the Falcons.
This injury just popped up on Friday's practice report. Groin injuries can be tricky to overcome on short notice, so Johnson appears to be a true game-time decision. The final verdict will be revealed with the inactives at 11:30 p.m. ET on Sunday.
