Johnson totaled 31 yards on six rushes in Saturday's 24-14 preseason win over the Falcons. He also committed two fumbles, losing one.
Johnson putting the ball on the ground twice was certainly disconcerting, although the veteran's spot as the primary backup to David Johnson wouldn't figure to be in any jeopardy. When he was hanging on to the football, Johnson was actually impressive, averaging 5.2 yards on his six totes. An 800-yard rusher in a part-time role as recently as 2015, the former Pro Bowler nevertheless figures to see limited opportunity in the coming campaign unless starter (David) Johnson were to miss time with injuries.
