Impact Making his NFL debut Monday, Johnson became the Saints' third kicker of the season after New Orleans moved on from both Aldrick Rosas and Cody Parkey. The 22-year-old wasn't tasked with any overly challenging kicks in his first game, but he at least came through in the clutch, as his 33-yarder with 1:56 remaining broke a 10-10 tie. Johnson now looks like he could benefit from an extended run as the Saints' kicker; according to Jeff Duncan of The Athletic, No. 1 kicker Wil Lutz -- who has been sidelined all season following core-muscle surgery in August -- announced Tuesday that he'll remain on injured reserve for the rest of 2021 after experiencing a setback in his return to practice last week.
