Patriots' D'Ernest Johnson: Back to practice squad
Johnson reverted to the Patriots' practice squad Friday, per the NFL's transaction log.
TreVeyon Henderson dominated the touches out of the backfield during the Patriots' 27-14 win over the Jets on Thursday. Terrell Jennings was active after working through a knee injury during the shortened week but didn't end up playing a snap, while Johnson logged eight snaps on offense and turned three carries into six yards. Johnson has been elevated from the practice squad by the Patriots three times this season, which is the max; however, the veteran running back could be signed to New England's active roster if Rhamondre Stevenson (toe) is expected to miss more time.

Patriots' D'Ernest Johnson: Elevated for TNF
The Patriots elevated Johnson from their practice squad ahead of Thursday night's game against the Jets, Evan Lazar of the team's official site reports.
Per Lazar, this is Johnson's final elevation, so after Week 11 the running back would need to be signed to the Patriots' 53-man roster in order to suit up for game action. On Thursday, he'll provide the team with backfield depth behind TreVeyon Henderson and Terrell Jennings (knee), assuming the latter is active. Meanwhile, Rhamondre Stevenson (toe) is slated to miss his third straight contest.

Patriots' D'Ernest Johnson: Reverts to practice squad
Johnson reverted to the Patriots' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Johnson played six offensive snaps during Sunday's 28-23 win over the Buccaneers, one more than Terrell Jennings, the latter of whom left the game due to a knee injury. Johnson logged one carry for one yard in Week 10, and with Jennings, Rhamondre Stevenson (toe) and TreVeyon Henderson (knee) all listed as limited practice participants Monday, Johnson could be elevated to the Patriots' active roster for Thursday's AFC East tilt against the Jets.

Patriots' D'Ernest Johnson: Elevated for Week 10
The Patriots elevated Johnson from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday.
Johnson has been elevated to the Patriots' active roster for a second consecutive week. He will serve as the RB3 behind TreVeyon Henderson and Terrell Jennings and will also serve as a returner on kickoffs in Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, per Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site. Johnson played five snaps on special teams without showing up in the box score otherwise during the Patriots' Week 9 win over the Falcons.

D'Ernest Johnson: Back to practice squad
Johnson reverted to the Patriots' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Johnson joined the Patriots' practice squad Wednesday and was elevated for Week 9 against the Falcons to provide backfield depth in the absence of Rhamondre Stevenson (toe). However, Johnson saw the field for only five snaps on special teams as TreVeyon Henderson and Terrell Jennings served as the clear one-two punch out of the Patriots' backfield. Johnson could be elevated for the Patriots' Week 10 clash against the Buccaneers this Sunday if Stevenson is not cleared to play.

Patriots' D'Ernest Johnson: Elevated for Week 9
Johnson was elevated from the Patriots' practice squad to the active roster Saturday.

D'Ernest Johnson: Could be elevated for Week 9
With Rhamondre Stevenson (toe) ruled out for Sunday's game against the Falcons, Johnson is a candidate to be elevated from the practice squad ahead of Week 9 action, according to Mark Daniels of MassLive.com.
For now, TreVeyon Henderson and Terrell Jennings are the only healthy running backs on New England's active roster, but Johnson, Jonathan Ward and Rushawn Baker are all candidates to be elevated from the team's practice squad Saturday. If Johnson ends up getting the call versus Atlanta, he'd be in line to share backup work with Jennings, with Henderson slated to be the Patriots' lead back this weekend.

D'Ernest Johnson: Joins Patriots' practice squad
Johnson signed with the Patriots' practice squad Wednesday, Doug Kyed of the Boston Herald reports.
The South Florida product was cut from the Cardinals' practice squad Tuesday, but he's already found a new home in New England. He made on appearance for Arizona this season, rushing once for no yards across 14 offensive snaps. With Antonio Gibson (knee), Lan Larison (foot) and Deneric Prince (Tulsa) all currently on injured reserve, Johnson could be elevated to the Patriots' active roster and play a depth role in the backfield.

D'Ernest Johnson: Jettisoned from practice squad
The Cardinals cut Johnson from the practice squad Tuesday.
Johnson had been elevated for Arizona's loss to the Packers in Week 7, a contest in which he logged one carry for zero yards while playing 14 snaps on offense. For Johnson to now be cut from the practice squad could be a sign that Emari Demercado (ankle) is on track to retake the field in time to face the Cowboys in Week 9.

Cardinals' D'Ernest Johnson: Elevated to active roster
The Cardinals elevated Johnson from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday.
Emari Demercado (ankle) will be sidelined for Sunday's game, so the Cardinals are in need of depth at running back. Johnson has a chance to be active for the first time this season for Sunday's game against the Packers, though he'd likely work behind Michael Carter and Bam Knight.

D'Ernest Johnson: Arriving in Arizona
Johnson signed with the Cardinals' practice squad Monday.
Johnson failed to make the Ravens' initial 53-man roster in late August but has since found a new home with the Cardinals' practice squad. The South Florida product appeared in 14 games for the Jaguars in 2024, rushing 55 times for 143 yards and catching 12 of 19 targets for 96 yards. He could be elevated to Arizona's active roster at some point this season with James Conner (foot) done for the year.

D'Ernest Johnson: Returning to Baltimore
The Ravens signed Johnson to the practice squad Wednesday, Ryan Mink of the team's official site reports.
Johnson joined the Ravens in early August with the aim of making the 53-man roster, but he failed to beat out Rasheen Ali for the RB4 spot. Johnson will return to the Ravens on the practice squad and is a candidate to be elevated to the active roster if Ali, Keaton Mitchell, Justice Hill or Derrick Henry are unable to play. Johnson logged 46 carries for 163 yards and two touchdowns while adding five catches (on eight targets) for 26 yards across the Ravens' three preseason games.

D'Ernest Johnson: Shown door in Baltimore
The Ravens released Johnson on Tuesday, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
Johnson carried a heavy workload during the preseason, rushing 46 times for 163 yards (3.5 YPC) and two touchdowns while also catching five passes for 26 yards. He was a longshot to make the 53-man roster due to Baltimore's solid running back room. Johnson should have utility on a practice squad. Last season, the 29-year-old posted 143 yards on 32 carries and 96 yards on 12 receptions through 14 games with the Jaguars.

Ravens' D'Ernest Johnson: Bound for Baltimore
The Ravens signed Johnson on Saturday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Johnson has six years of NFL experience on his resume, with his best campaign coming in 2021, when he logged 534 rushing yards and three touchdowns on 100 carries during the regular season with Cleveland. He provided depth at RB for the Jaguars last year, recording 143 yards on 32 carries and 96 receiving yards on 12 catches over 14 contests. Johnson also has experience as a kick returner, which can only help his chances of making Baltimore's final roster. Johnson's signing was precipitated by the absence of Marcus Major, who is dealing with a concussion.

Jaguars' D'Ernest Johnson: Small role in Week 18
Johnson carried two times for 26 yards and caught one of two targets for zero yards during the Jaguars' Week 18 loss to the Colts.
The 28-year-old received his first carries since Week 11 but played just 12 offensive snaps in the season finale. Johnson finished the season with 32 carries for 143 yards and 12 receptions for 96 yards in 14 contests. He's set to hit free agency during the offseason, and there will likely be limited openings in Jacksonville since Travis Etienne, Tank Bigsby and Keilan Robinson are all under contract for 2025.

Jaguars' D'Ernest Johnson: Healthy scratch again Week 15
Johnson (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's matchup against the Jets.
Johnson will be inactive for the third straight game since Jacksonville's Week 12 bye. He played in each of the Jaguars' first 11 contests of the campaign but has fallen behind Keilan Robinson on the depth chart since Robinson returned from IR in mid-November.
