Rams' Desjuan Johnson: Active for divsional round
Johnson (illness) is active for Sunday's divisional-round matchup versus the Bears
Johnson missed Friday's practice with an illness, but it appears that it won't hold him back for the Rams' second playoff game. The 26-year-old has played in each of the last six games, including last week's wild-card win over Carolina, and he's tallied 13 tackles with two sacks over that span. Johnson should continue filling a backup role behind starting defensive end Braden Fiske.

Rams' Desjuan Johnson: Mr. Irrelevant
The Rams selected Johnson in the seventh round of the NFL Draft, 259th overall.
Johnson was the final pick of the 2023 NFL Draft. He played defensive tackle at Toledo but is expected to move to end as a pro due to a lack of size. The Rams added a couple pass rushers ahead of Johnson in the draft, so he may have a difficult time making the roster out of training camp.
