Emergency QB for Week 14 Johnson (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Vikings but will serve as the Commanders' emergency third quarterback.

Impact Johnson has served as the Commanders' backup quarterback behind Marcus Mariota for the past three games, but the former will revert to the QB3 role due to the return of Jayden Daniels (left elbow). As the emergency QB3, Johnson will be permitted to see the field Sunday only in the event that both Daniels and Mariota were to leave the game due to injury, illness or ejection.

Operating as emergency QB Johnson (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday night's contest against the Seahawks, but he will operate as the team's emergency third quarterback.

Impact Johnson will be back in his familiar role as Washington's No. 3 QB in Week 9. The 39-year-old has yet to appear in a contest this season, and he'd only be able to do so if Jayden Daniels and Marcus Mariota are sidelined with injuries.

Emergency QB duties again Sunday Johnson (coach's decision) is inactive but serving as the emergency third quarterback for Sunday's game against the Cowboys.

Impact The well-traveled veteran will fill his usual role behind Jayden Daniels and Marcus Mariota, namely, being available as an emergency option should both of his position mates exit the contest due to injury, illness or ejection. Johnson has just five regular-season pass attempts since the start of the 2022 season, none which have come this season.

Emergency QB for Week 5 Johnson (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Chargers and will serve as the Commanders' emergency third quarterback.

Impact Johnson served as the Commanders' backup quarterback over the last two games due to the absence of Jayden Daniels, who was nursing a knee injury. With Daniels cleared to play Sunday, Marcus Mariota will revert to his backup role while Johnson serves as the emergency quarterback, which means he won't be allowed to see the field unless Daniels and Mariota were to leave the game due to injury, illness or ejection.
