Johnson racked up 69 scrimmage yards on 15 touches in his first taste of NFL action last week. The rookie fifth-round pick is jostling for position on the depth chart with Emari Demercado and Brashard Smith behind Kenneth Walker. With Walker expected to handle heavy workloads during the regular season, the Chiefs will likely feel comfortable continuing to give Johnson heavy preseason workloads to evaluate the rookie's readiness to contribute.
