• Rams' John Johnson: Moves to IR

  09/18/2024 • By RotoWire

  Johnson (shoulder) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday. Johnson suffered a hairline fracture of his scapula during Sunday's 41-10 loss to the Cardinals and was expected to miss four to six weeks. Considering the recovery timeline, his move to injured reserve makes sense. He'll be eligible to return Oct. 24 against the Vikings if he can make a quick recovery. In the meantime, Kamren Kinchens should handle the workload at free safety.

  Johnson is expected to miss 4-to-6 weeks after suffering a hairline fracture of his scapula during Sunday's 41-10 loss to the Cardinals, Cameron DaSilva of USA Today reports. Johnson logged eight total tackles and one interception over 58 defensive snaps this season before going down with the shoulder injury. The 28-year-old could be placed on injured reserve, which would keep him out for at least the Rams' next four contests. Expect rookie third-round pick Kamren Kinchens to see increased work in the Rams secondary while Johnson recovers.

  Johnson recorded three tackles (two solo), an interception and a pass defended during Sunday's 28-20 victory against the Commanders. Johnson continued to see considerable usage on defense, coming three snaps shy of playing every down for the third straight game. The safety was able to pick off Sam Howell early in the fourth quarter on a pass intended for Terry McLaurin, and will look to keep harvesting picks against Derek Carr and a shorthanded Saints receiving corps on Thursday night in Week 16.
