Yahoo Sports NFL on Josh Johnson

Johnson's two-TD preseason performance bolsters his case for the 53-man roster.

The 40-year-old veteran quarterback completed 15 of 23 passes for 156 yards and two touchdowns without an interception in Cincinnati's 27-9 preseason win over Chicago. He connected with Colbie Young for a 17-yard touchdown and Tanner Hudson for a six-yard score, helping the Bengals take a 17-9 halftime lead. The Bengals brought him back for his experience and knowledge of NFL offenses to serve as a veteran No. 3 quarterback who can keep the offense functional in an emergency; his strong performance Saturday strengthens his case to secure a roster spot ahead of Joe Flacco on the depth chart.
