Johnson (shoulder/neck) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Falcons. Johnson logged three consecutive DNPs during the Panthers' week of practice after sustaining a shoulder injury in the Week 17 loss to the Buccaneers, so missing Sunday's regular-season finale comes as no surprise. Nick Scott and Sam Franklin are expected to serve as Carolina's top reserve safeties in Johnson's stead in Week 18.

Johnson (shoulder) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reports. The depth safety recorded one solo tackle before leaving the contest. Johnson has played primarily on special teams this year, posting seven tackles (six solo).
-
Johnson (hip) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice. Johnson was inactive for Carolina's Week 4 loss to the Bengals after sustaining a hip injury the week prior, but following Wednesday's full practice, it appears he's moved past the issue. Expect the 28-year-old to continue serving as a depth piece in the Panthers' secondary as the team travels to Chicago in Week 5.

Johnson (hip) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Bengals, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official website reports. Johnson played exclusively on special teams through the first three games, so his absence shouldn't impact Carolina's defense. The extent of Johnson's hip injury remains unclear, but he left the Panthers' Week 3 win over the Raiders early and didn't practice during Week 4 prep.
-
Johnson (hip) is active Sunday against the Raiders, David Newton of ESPN.com reports. Johnson was limited in practice this week, but that won't stop him from taking the field in Week 3. The veteran doesn't typically play on defense but is a regular on the Panthers' special teams unit.
