Let go by Arizona

The Cardinals cut Johnson from the practice squad Tuesday, Darren Urban of the team's official site reports.

Analysis: The Cardinals cut tight end Evan Baylis from the active roster Tuesday and may look to keep him around on the practice squad, which would be a valid reason to let Johnson go. Johnson has yet to suit up in an NFL game since entering the league as an undrafted free agent last year.

Healthy moving forward

The Cardinals activated Johnson (undisclosed) from the practice squad injured list Tuesday, Darren Urban of the team's official site reports.

Analysis: It's still unclear exactly what Johnson was dealing with, but he's healthy enough to return to practice moving forward. The Cardinals currently have four healthy tight ends on the active roster, so Johnson isn't expected to be promoted unless there's an injury.

Dealing with injury

The Cardinals (undisclosed) placed Johnson on their practice squad injured list Thursday, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Analysis: Johnson had been dealing with an Achilles injury that he suffered in 2019, but it's unclear what sort of issue has forced this move. He'll look to get healthy before making another push at a 53-man roster spot around the league.

Joins Cardinals' practice squad

Johnson (Achilles) signed to the Cardinals' practice squad Monday.

Analysis: Johnson spent the 2019 season on the Seahawks' IR due to an Achilles injury. He was ultimately let go be the team in May following a failed physical. It appears he has since recovered from the injury and will now look to earn a shot in Arizona.

Let go by Seattle

Johnson (Achilles) was waived by the Seahawks with a failed physical, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Analysis: The 23-year-old joined Seattle as a UDFA in May 2019 but suffered an Achilles injury in training camp and spent the season on injured reserve. It's unclear where Johnson currently stands in his recovery.

Let go by Seahawks

Johnson (Achilles) was waived by Seattle on Saturday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.

Analysis: Johnson was carted off the field Thursday with what the team feared was an Achilles injury. The 22-year-old signed with Seattle in May as an undrafted rookie out of Mississippi State.

Achilles injury suspected

Johnson may have suffered an Achilles injury Thursday, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

Analysis: Johnson was carted off the field during Thursday's practice. If the Mississippi State product has indeed sustained an Achilles injury, it will likely spell the end of his rookie season.

Suffers lower leg injury

Johnson was carted off the field during Thursday's practice due to a lower leg injury, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.

Analysis: The details and severity of Johnson's injury remain undisclosed. The undrafted rookie out of Mississippi State faces an uphill battle to earn a depth spot in Seattle's tight end room, and any time he misses to injury would further decrease his chances of making the 53-man roster.
