Out Saturday Johnson (undisclosed) will not play Saturday against USC.
Good to go Saturday Johnson is available for Saturday's game versus UCLA.
Impact Johnson missed last Saturday's game at Ohio State with an undisclosed injury. He is now off the injury report, paving the way for his return versus UCLA. The senior has rushed 38 times for 153 yards and four touchdowns this season, adding 19 catches for 165 yards and a touchdown through the air.

Out against Buckeyes Head coach Matt Rhule revealed that Johnson (undisclosed) will not play in Saturday's game against Ohio State.
Impact Johnson was previously thought to be questionable for Saturday's game after suffering an undisclosed injury in last week's loss to Indiana, but it appears the senior running back will be unable to go against the Buckeyes. Johnson has been an all around contributor on offense this season, running for 153 yards on 38 attempts on the ground while adding 19 catches for 165 yards and a score through the air as well. With Johnson sidelined, expect fellow running back Emmett Johnson to be more involved, though lead back Dante Dowdell will likely see a large portion of the workload for the Cornhuskers.

Versatile day in victory Johnson notched nine rushes for 33 yards and reeled in 8 of 9 targets for 49 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 28-10 victory against Colorado.
Impact Johnson found the end zone on an 18-yard pass from quarterback Dylan Raiola at the end of the second quarter to extend the Cornhuskers' lead to 28-0. The senior running back accounted for over 80 yards on the day, indicating that a productive role within the offense may not be out of reach. Johnson's next opportunity to shine will come in a final tune-up game against UNI on Saturday before the start of Big Ten conference play.

Participating in practice Johnson (shoulder) participated in Saturday's practice and should be considered healthy ahead of the start of the 2024 season, Chase Matteson of 10/11 News reports.
Impact Johnson was out for the spring practices due to a shoulder injury, but he was one of the first wideouts who stepped on the gridiron when the initial offense left the field. Johnson was limited to just three games in 2023, but he could be in line for a more significant workload and role in 2024. Nebraska will open their season against UTEP on Aug. 31.

Working with receivers at fall camp Johnson has spent time working with the wide receivers on ball-catching and footwork drills during fall camp, Amie Just of the Journal Star reports.
Impact Just indicates that Johnson's extra work with the wideouts may suggest he'll see more action in the slot this season. After finishing last year with 692 all-purpose yards and six total touchdowns, the 5-foot-10 running back is Nebraska's top returning rusher and is expected to be the lead back to start the regular season.
