Three receptions Saturday Johnson had three receptions on six targets for 29 yards in Saturday's preseason loss to San Francisco.
Impact Johnson suffered a torn ACL in training camp last July and missed the entire 2021 season, but is back to full speed this summer. He worked as the No. 3 receiver at times in 2020 before sliding down the depth chart late that season. Despite his return, he appears far behind in the competition for the No. 4 receiver role and it's not clear if he'll win one of the final reserve receiver roles.

MAY 25, 2022 • VIKINGS.COM
Returns to practice Johnson (knee) was a full participant in Tuesday's OTA practice, Matthew Collier of SI.com reports.
Impact Johnson suffered a torn ACL in training camp last July and missed the entire 2021 season. He worked as the No. 3 receiver at times in 2020 before sliding down the depth chart late in that season. He'll be in the mix for the No. 4 receiver role in training camp this summer if he's in fact back to full strength.

Activated off COVID-19 list Johnson (knee) was activated off the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday, Aaron Wilson of Sportstalk 790 Houston reports.
Impact Johnson has cleared COVID protocols, but he remains on injured reserve. The 2019 seventh-round pick isn't expected to play this season after tearing his ACL during training camp.

Surfaces on COVID list Johnson (knee) was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday, Andrew Krammer of the Star Tribune reports.
Impact Johnson remains on injured reserve after tearing his ACL in camp, but he's now in COVID protocols as well. The 2019 seventh-round pick won't suit up this season.

Lands on IR Johnson (knee) was placed on injured reserve Monday, Eric Smith of Vikings.com reports.
Impact Johnson suffered a torn ACL on Friday and will miss the entire 2021 season, so this move is strictly procedural. He'll set his sights on returning in time for the 2022 campaign.

With Cousins out for COVID protocol, QB shortage irks Zimmer
The Minnesota Vikings are facing a severe shortage of quarterbacks early in training campAUGUST 2, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Suffers torn ACL Johnson was diagnosed with a torn ACL on Saturday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Impact The 24-year-old suffered the injury during Friday's practice and is slated to miss the entirety of the 2021 campaign. Johnson, who worked as Minnesota's No. 3 wideout as a rookie in 2019, was attempting to win back that job in training camp, but he'll instead spend the season rehabbing from the ACL tear.
AUGUST 1, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Exits with leg injury Johnson left Friday's practice with an apparent leg injury, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Johnson, a 2019 seventh-round pick, is hoping to win back the No. 3 role he occupied as a rookie. Slot specialist Chad Beebe took the job last year and remains with the Vikings, but he'll need to fend off Johnson, Dede Westbrook and rookie fifth-round pick Ihmir Smith-Marsette this summer. It's a situation where Johnson could win the No. 3 job or could miss out on the Week 1 roster.
JULY 30, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Zero-target finale Johnson didn't see a single target Week 17 and ended the 2020 campaign catching 14 of 19 targets for 189 yards across 16 games.
Impact In his second season with the Vikings, Johnson played a much quieter role and didn't see even half the targets (44) as last year. With Adam Thielen and Justin Jefferson as the primary receivers and Chad Beebe passing him on the depth chart, the 2019 seventh-round pick wasn't able to have the same number of opportunities. Depending how Minnesota proceeds in the offseason -- especially as it pertains to Beebe, a restricted free agent -- Johnson may have even more competition for the No. 3 wide receiver role in 2021.
JANUARY 15, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Registers 14th catch of 2020 Johnson hauled in his only target for 13 yards during Friday's 52-33 loss to the Saints.
Impact It may not have been an especially eventful Christmas Day outing from the 2019 seventh-round pick, but at least Johnson proved capable of snapping his three-game catch drought over his workload of 11 offensive snaps. Johnson possesses two notable fantasy outings on the year, producing a combined 10 catches for 130 yards between his season-best Week 1 and 12 performances. In 13 other 2020 outings, however, Johnson has totaled only four receptions for 59 yards.
DECEMBER 30, 2020 • ROTOWIRE
Endures another zero-target outing Johnson was not targeted over nine offensive snaps during Sunday's 33-27 loss to the Bears.
Impact Johnson enjoyed a seven-catch, 74-yard performance Week 12 against Carolina while Adam Thielen remained on the reserve/COVID-19 list, but he's since reverted to an obsolete offensive role with the receiving corps returned to full strength. Justin Jefferson's emergence has largely pushed Johnson out of the picture in the passing game, exemplified again Week 15 as the rookie's 11 targets combined with Thielen's three to constitute 87.5 percent of the Vikings' total WR targets.
DECEMBER 23, 2020 • ROTOWIRE
Logs no receptions against Bucs Johnson went without a target over 19 offensive snaps during Sunday's 26-14 loss to Tampa Bay.
Impact Ten different Vikings were targeted in the Week 14 defeat, but Johnson went without an offensive look for a second consecutive contest. He produced an eye-catching seven receptions for 74 yards Week 12 against the Panthers while Adam Thielen resided on the reserve/COVID-19 list. Otherwise, he has no outings exceeding 25 yards since posting three catches and 56 yards Week 1 against Green Bay.
DECEMBER 16, 2020 • ROTOWIRE
No targets against Jaguars Johnson didn't receive a target in the 27-24 overtime win against the Jaguars.
Impact Johnson played a season-high 58 snaps on offense in last week's win over the Panthers, when Adam Thielen was on the COVID-19 list. Thielen returned this week, however, and Johnson reverted to the No. 4 wideout role, playing just eight snaps and failing to receive a target for the fifth time this year. Chad Beebe appears to be the clear No. 3 behind Thielen and Justin Jefferson.

Vikings' timely defensive stops keep playoff hopes alive
The offense had done its part to keep the Minnesota Vikings' faint playoff hopes aliveDECEMBER 1, 2020 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Thrives in Thielen's absence Johnson secured all seven targets for 74 yards and caught a two-point conversion pass in the Vikings' 28-27 win over the Panthers on Sunday.
Impact With Adam Thielen hitting the reserve/COVID-19 list earlier in the week, Johnson stepped seamlessly into the No. 2 role and ended up pacing the Vikings in receiving yardage. The second-year wideout also tied multiple teammates for the team lead in receptions, and his two-point conversion grab in the fourth quarter was critical in that it brought Minnesota to within a field goal. Johnson had been virtually invisible this season while seeing Thielen and Justin Jefferson log the overwhelming majority of the passing game work, and despite his strong showing Sunday, he appears destined to revert to anonymity if Thielen is back for a Week 13 matchup against the Jaguars.
