Johnson is expected to handle a larger role on offense beginning with Sunday's game in Arizona after the Rams placed fellow receiver Puka Nacua (knee) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday, J.B. Long of the team's official site reports.
Johnson finished second on the team with 79 receiving yards in Sunday's 26-20 overtime loss to the Lions, and his seven targets tied Demarcus Robinson for second on the team behind Cooper Kupp's 21. That trio of wide receivers will likely continue to receive significant playing time in the absence of Nacua, who will miss at least four games after landing on IR.
