Positive signalRole

Johnson, 19-year vet, offers emergency backup experience and recent game action.

Johnson is a 19-year NFL veteran who has played for seemingly half the league and has extensive emergency backup experience, including relief duty in the 2022 NFC Championship game when Brock Purdy was injured; he recently started two games for the Washington Commanders in 2025, completing 63% of passes for 372 yards, 1 TD, and 2 INTs; he is currently on the Cincinnati Bengals practice squad and would need to be signed to the 53-man roster; the source suggests his addition would signal Darnold's injury is longer-term than initially thought, but he would be a solid veteran option to back up Lock and potentially Milroe.
