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.

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 source notes Johnson was brought back for his experience and knowledge of NFL offenses, and his strong performance Saturday makes a case for him to secure a roster spot as a veteran No. 3 quarterback who can keep the offense functional in an emergency, despite Joe Flacco remaining ahead of him on the depth chart.

Josh Johnson, an unheralded USD quarterback recruit from Oakland, rose from seventh on the depth chart to second in his first practice at USD. He went on to become one of the greatest players in the program's history, leading the Toreros to back-to-back Pioneer League championships and setting school records, including 42 touchdown passes with one interception in his 2007 season. Johnson has since played for 14 NFL franchises—the most in league history for a quarterback—demonstrating a remarkable ascent from a non-scholarship Division I FCS program.

Johnson, who has played for 14 NFL teams since 2008, had one of his most impressive statistical performances as a Jet in 2021 when he entered mid-game after Mike White was knocked out by the Colts; Johnson passed for 317 yards in the final three quarters and nearly led the Jets back from a 42-10 deficit, getting them into the red zone with over a minute remaining before a deflected pass was intercepted; the source notes this represents an impressive 300-yard passing performance in zero starts as a Jet, and Johnson replicated this with another 300-yard game in his only start with the Ravens in 2022.

Johnson, who has played for 14 NFL teams since 2008, had one of his most impressive performances in limited Jets action: in 2021, after Mike White was knocked out by the Colts, Johnson played the final three quarters and passed for 317 yards, nearly leading the Jets back from a 42-10 deficit; with the Jets down 15, he had them in the red zone with over a minute remaining, and a touchdown would have made it a one-possession game, though a deflected pass was intercepted to end the threat. He never got another chance with the Jets but then put up another 300-yard game in his only start of 2022 with the Ravens—an impressive ratio of one 300-yard passing performance in zero starts as a Jet.
