Johnson was waived by the Eagles on Tuesday.
Johnson impressed during the preseason, producing 77 rushing yards and a touchdown on 21 carries, while also adding two kickoff returns for 47 yards over two contests. The running back signed with the Eagles as an undrafted free agent in April after a collegiate career at Florida, and if he clears waivers, he may stick around as a member of the team's practice squad.

Eagles' Montrell Johnson: Not practicing Saturday
Rotowire
Johnson (hamstring) will be sidelined for Saturday's training camp practice, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
Johnson is working through a hamstring injury, which forced him to observe Thursday's preseason opener against the Bengals from the sidelines. He signed with the Eagles as an undrafted free agent in late April, so an extended absence hurts his chances of making the 53-man roster at the end of training camp. Johnson will focus on getting back on the practice field and being available for the Eagles' second preseason game against the Browns on Saturday, Aug. 16.
