Knee
June 12, 2024
Johnson's knee injury isn't considered serious, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Johnson was carted off the field during Panthers' minicamp last week with what was initially thought to be a calf injury, but it's now been clarified to be a knee issue. The second-year linebacker out of Oregon appeared in 13 games and made 16 total tackles during his rookie campaign, and he's expected to compete for a depth role on Carolina's defense once he's past his knee injury.
