Overview

• Head coach Ben Johnson said Johnson will open on the active roster, adding “we’ll see” on a Sept. 8 return against the Vikings.
• Johnson has not practiced since sustaining an offseason leg injury but has completed light workouts.
• Activating him avoids the four-game absence that would have been required had he stayed on the Non-Football Injury list.
• Coaches and Johnson cited conditioning and game-speed readiness as hurdles after a disrupted summer.
• If he cannot go in Week 1, Tyrique Stevenson and Nahshon Wright are the likely starting corners, with Wright drawing praise for his camp work.
