Still no preseason action Johnson didn't play in Thursday's 27-11 preseason loss to the Bears.

Impact Johnson also didn't play in the preseason opener. There's no hint that he's battling an injury, so it's odd that he's not even getting a look on special teams. Meanwhile, running backs Travis Homer, DeeJay Dallas and Darwin Thompson all handled reps in both preseason contests.

Joins Seahawks' active roster The Seahawks have signed Johnson off their practice squad to their 53-man roster, John Boyle of the team's official website reports.

Back with practice squad Johnson reverted to the Seahawks' practice squad Wednesday.

Impact Johnson was active for the second time this season, and he saw snaps behind Rashaad Penny and DeeJay Dallas. With Alex Collins and Travis Homer set to return from the reserve/COVID-19 list this week, the Seahawks don't have an immediate need for Johnson's presence on the active roster.

Elevated by Seahawks for Week 15 Johnson was elevated from the Seahawks' practice squad for Tuesday's Week 15 matchup with the Rams, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.

Impact The running back will be active for the second time this season as the Seahawks will likely use him as a depth option behind Rashaad Penny and DeeJay Dallas. With both Alex Collins and Travis Homer on the reserve/COVID-19 list, Johnson could be in line for another activation if they fail to clear protocols before the team's Week 16 game against the Bears.

Back to practice squad Johnson has reverted back to the Seahawks' practice squad, per the NFL's transaction report.

Impact Johnson was promoted to Seattle's 53-man roster prior to Monday's matchup with Washington. He ultimately saw 16 snaps on special teams but none on offense. He will now continue to work on the practice unit while awaiting another opportunity.

Elevated from practice squad Johnson was promoted from the Seahawks' practice squad Monday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Impact Johnson's promotion comes with Travis Homer (calf) and Rashaad Penny (hamstring) already being ruled out for the Seahawks' game Monday against Washington. Johnson, who went undrafted out of Louisiana Monroe, has yet to appear in an NFL game. He'll likely be third on the depth chart behind Alex Collins and DeeJay Dallas.

Waived by Seattle The Seahawks waived Johnson on Tuesday, Bob Condotta reports.

Impact Following a strong collegiate career at Louisiana-Monroe, Johnson signed a deal with the Seahawks hoping to fit into a crowded running back room. Unfortunately for the 5-foot-9 rookie, strong showings from Alex Collins and Rashaad Penny forced Seattle to waive Johnson. The Seahawks hope to bring back Johnson to their practice squad if he can clear waivers.

Logs 10 touches Johnson rushed nine times for 30 yards and caught his lone target for seven yards in Saturday's 30-3 preseason loss to the Broncos.

Impact Johnson led the backfield in touches, but we shouldn't read into it too much, as they were all in the fourth quarter, while nearly all the starters were on the sidelines. The undrafted rookie out of Louisiana-Monroe has an uphill climb to secure a roster spot.
