Secures roster spot Johnson was the star of Saturday's scrimmage and appears to have locked down a spot on the regular-season roster, according to Hays Carlyon of 1010 AM WJXL Jacksonville.
Impact Johnson got most of his work with the backups but also caught a pass from Minshew, taking advantage of the opportunity with both Dede Westbrook (shoulder) and Laviska Shenault (undisclosed) held out of the scrimmage. It won't be easy for the rookie fifth-round pick to earn snaps amidst a receiver group that also has DJ Chark, Chris Conley and Keelan Cole, but it does seem like Johnson will be part of the team, at the very least. Given the expectation of a rebuilding season, there's a good chance the Jags will want to see more from Shenault and Johnson before the year is done.

Long odds to crack roster Walker (hamstring) will have an uphill battle to make Jacksonville's Week 1 roster coming out of training camp, John Oehser of the Jaguars' official site reports.
Impact The 23-year-old appeared in seven games as an undrafted rookie in 2019 last year and provided most of his value as a kick returner with 18 runbacks for 411 yards. The Jags return their top-four wideouts from 2019 and added Laviska Shenault and Collin Johnson via the draft, so Walker may realistically be competing for a spot on the practice squad.
