  • D'Ernest Johnson: Reverts to practice squad

    Johnson reverted to the Patriots' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

    Johnson was limited to five snaps on special teams during the Patriots' 28-16 win over the Texans during Sunday's AFC divisional-round game, and in the process he returned two kickoffs for 47 yards. Rhamondre Stevenson and TreVeyon Henderson handled all the backfield touches against Houston, but Johnson would likely be elevated to the Patriots' active roster for this Sunday's AFC Championship Game against the Broncos if Terrell Jennings (concussion) is unable to play.

  • Patriots' D'Ernest Johnson: Elevated from practice squad

    The Patriots elevated Johnson from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's divisional-round matchup versus the Texans, Evan Lazar of the team's official site reports.

    Johnson rejoined New England's practice squad earlier in the week after rushing for 25 yards on 13 carries across seven games with the team earlier in the season. The 29-year-old could serve as the team's No. 3 running back, as Terrell Jennings has been ruled out with a concussion.

  • D'Ernest Johnson: Signs to Pats' practice squad

    New England signed Johnson to the practice squad Tuesday.

    Johnson was released by the Patriots on Monday after having played two snaps on special teams in Sunday's 16-3 win over the Chargers in the wild-card round. He now returns to the team as a depth option in advance of Sunday's divisional-round game against the Texans.

  • D'Ernest Johnson: Let go by Patriots

    Johnson was waived by the Patriots on Monday.

    Johnson played two snaps on special teams in Sunday's 16-3 win over the Chargers in the wild-card round but has been released from New England's 53-man roster the next day. He had 14 carries for 25 yards in eight regular-season games, seven of which came with the Patriots after Johnson notched one appearance for the Cardinals.

  • Patriots' D'Ernest Johnson: Signs contract with Patriots

    New England signed Johnson to the active roster Saturday.

    Johnson was initially elevated from the practice squad to the active roster Friday, but he'll get a spot on the 53-man roster after running back Terrell Jennings (concussion) was placed on injured reserve Saturday. Jennings will now be sidelined for at least the next four games, thus keeping him out for at least the remainder of the regular season. In his absence, Johnson will serve as the Patriots' No. 3 running back behind Rhamondre Stevenson and TreVeyon Henderson.

  • Patriots' D'Ernest Johnson: Joins active roster

    Johnson was elevated from the Patriots' practice squad to the active roster Friday, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.

    With Terrell Jennings (concussion) set to miss the Week 15 divisional matchup against the Bills, Johnson's addition to the active roster provides New England with much-needed depth at running back. The 29-year-old has appeared in three games for the Patriots this season, rushing four times for seven yards. He's expected to play behind TreVeyon Henderson and Rhamondre Stevenson on Sunday.

  • 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.

    With Rhamondre Stevenson (toe) ruled out for Sunday's contest with the Falcons, Johnson gets the elevation. He will likely share backup work with Terrell Jennings behind TreVeyon Henderson, who is slated to be the Patriots' lead back.

  • 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.

  • D'Ernest Johnson: Back to practice squad

    Johnson reverted to the Cardinals' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

    Johnson signed with the Cardinals' practice squad Sept. 29 and was elevated for the time in Week 7 against the Packers. He logged one carry for zero yards while playing 14 snaps on offense, which was third behind Bam Knight (34) and Michael Carter (28). With James Conner (foot) out for the year and Trey Benson (knee) on injured reserve, Johnson could be elevated for the Cardinals' Week 9 contest against the Cowboys on Monday, Nov. 3 following a Week 8 bye.

  • 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.
