The Los Angeles Rams agreed to an undisclosed deal to re-sign wide receiver Tyler Johnson on Saturday. Johnson was with the team's practice squad all year but was active in Week 18 and caught two of his three targets for eight yards and a touchdown against the San Francisco 49ers. The former fifth-round pick (161st overall) in 2020 out of Minnesota by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers has 50 career catches on 75 targets for 537 yards and three touchdowns in 34 games (six starts) in his four seasons in the NFL with the Rams, Buccaneers and Houston Texans. The 25-year-old will return to Los Angeles in 2024 and will likely be on the practice squad again while providing depth at the position behind Cooper Kupp, Puka Nacua, Demarcus Robinson, Tutu Atwell and Ben Skowronek.
