Johnson's poor preseason performance makes roster spot unlikely at age 40.

Johnson did not provide Cincinnati a compelling reason to make the roster; he was strip sacked on third down in the red zone and failed to demonstrate ability to complete difficult throws, making it unlikely he will make the team given his age (40) and clear ceiling.
