Jaguars' D'Ernest Johnson: Healthy scratch again Week 15
Johnson (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's matchup against the Jets.
Johnson will be inactive for the third straight game since Jacksonville's Week 12 bye. He played in each of the Jaguars' first 11 contests of the campaign but has fallen behind Keilan Robinson on the depth chart since Robinson returned from IR in mid-November.

Jaguars' D'Ernest Johnson: Inactive again Week 14
Johnson (coach's decision) is a healthy scratch for Sunday's matchup versus Tennessee, John Oehser of the Jaguars' official site reports.
Johnson will be inactive for the second straight week. Prior to Jacksonville's Week 12 bye, the South Florida product had suited up for each of the team's 11 contests and had gotten at least one touch in all but two of those games. However, Johnson appears to be out of the rotation with both Travis Etienne and Tank Bigsby healthy and with rookie tailback Keilan Robinson having been activated off IR ahead of Week 13.

Jaguars' D'Ernest Johnson: Healthy scratch for Week 13
Johnson (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Texans.
Coming out of a Week 12 bye, the Jaguars are back to full strength in the backfield with Travis Etienne further removed from the hamstring injury that sidelined him for Weeks 7 and 8 and with Tank Bigsby back in action after missing the Week 11 loss to the Lions with an ankle injury. Rookie fifth-round pick Keilan Robinson is also ready to make his NFL debut after coming off injured reserve Nov. 19, and while he's unlikely to have much of a role on offense behind Etienne and Bigsby, his ability to contribute as a return man will be enough for the Jaguars to keep him active over Johnson as the No. 3 back. Johnson had already seen his role dwindle following Etienne's return to action in Week 9, as Johnson earned just four carries and one target while playing 28 total snaps on offense over the Jaguars' last three games before the bye.

Jaguars' D'Ernest Johnson: Two touches in blowout loss
Johnson carried twice for three yards during Sunday's 52-6 loss to the Lions.
The 28-year-old suited up after being considered questionable with a hamstring injury, and he played just 27 percent of the offensive snaps. Johnson has five carries for 12 yards and one reception for 20 yards over the past four games, and he isn't likely to be significantly involved in the offense while Travis Etienne is healthy.

Jaguars' D'Ernest Johnson: Set to play Sunday
Johnson (hamstring) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game in Detroit.
Johnson played through a hamstring injury this past Sunday versus the Vikings, but despite fellow RB Tank Bigsby (ankle) departing after 10 snaps and two carries, the former didn't earn a touch on four offensive plays. Meanwhile, Travis Etienne dominated the Jaguars backfield to the tune of 12 touches for 43 yards from scrimmage on 30 snaps. With Bigsby ruled out for Week 11, Johnson will back up Etienne, but his usage likely will be limited.

Jaguars' D'Ernest Johnson: Remains limited Thursday
Johnson (hamstring) was limited in Thursday's practice.
Johnson has opened the week with back-to-back limited practices due to a hamstring injury, and unless he logs a DNP on Friday, he's expected to play through the issue against the Lions on Sunday. Johnson didn't record a stat across four offensive snaps in Week 10 against the Vikings, and in the two games prior he logged just three carries for nine yards. However, Johnson could see an increased workload in Week 11 if backup running back Tank Bigsby (ankle) is unable to play.

Jaguars' D'Ernest Johnson: Limited Wednesday
Johnson (hamstring) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.
Johnson played through his hamstring issue in the Jaguars' Week 10 loss to the Vikings, failing to record a stat across just four offensive snaps. The 28-year-old running back will likely continue playing through the issue in Jacksonville's Week 11 matchup against the Lions unless it worsens over the course of the week.

Jaguars' D'Ernest Johnson: Cleared to play Sunday
Johnson (hamstring) is active for Sunday's game against the Vikings.
Johnson was added to the Jaguars' injury report Thursday and was a limited participant in the team's final two practices of the week, but the hamstring issue won't keep him from playing Sunday. He'll be available as a third option out of the backfield behind Travis Etienne and Tank Bigsby, with most of Johnson's usage likely to come on passing downs. Etienne made his return from a two-game absence in last week's loss to the Eagles, and Johnson consequently saw his snap share drop to 22 percent, his lowest since Week 5.

Jaguars' D'Ernest Johnson: Questionable for Week 10
Johnson (hamstring) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Vikings.
Johnson likely sustained a hamstring injury during practice this week and is now in jeopardy of missing Jacksonville's Week 10 game. He practiced in a limited fashion both Thursday and Friday, but if he's unable to play through the issue Sunday, expect Travis Etienne and Tank Bigsby to handle all of the Jaguars' running back duties.

Jaguars' D'Ernest Johnson: Working through hamstring injury
Johnson (hamstring) was a limited practice participant Thursday.
Johnson may have picked up the injury during practice Wednesday or Thursday. His participation in Friday's session will provide clarity on his status for Sunday's game against the Vikings. Johnson has served as the Jaguars' No. 3 running back this season behind Travis Etienne (hamstring) and Tank Bigsby (ankle).

Jaguars' D'Ernest Johnson: Reverts to No. 3 role
Johnson carried twice for six yards and failed to catch his lone target during Sunday's 28-23 loss to the Eagles.
The 28-year-old played 13 offensive snaps as Jacksonville's backfield returned to full strength, though that was only slightly less playing time than starter Travis Etienne saw in his return from two-game absence. Johnson should continue to see sporadic opportunities as the Jaguars' depth back while Etienne and Tank Bigsby remain healthy.

Jaguars' D'Ernest Johnson: Less involved as No. 2 back
Johnson carried once for three yards and caught one of two targets for 20 yards during Sunday's 30-27 loss to the Packers.
The 28-year-old totaled 20 touches in the previous two games with Travis Etienne (hamstring) unavailable, but both of those contests were blowouts. Tank Bigsby dominated the backfield work Sunday as Jacksonville nearly took Green Bay to overtime. Johnson likely won't be a fantasy-relevant option but should continue to see some chances in passing situations until Etienne is back.

Jaguars' D'Ernest Johnson: Solid in No. 2 role Sunday
Johnson rushed nine times for 38 yards and brought in three of four targets for 32 yards in the Jaguars' 32-16 win over the Patriots on Sunday in London.
With Travis Etienne (hamstring) sidelined, both Tank Bigsby and Johnson bumped up a spot on the depth chart for the London matchup. Johnson played a clear second fiddle to his teammate, but he was effective in both his rushing and pass-catching roles. The veteran is a valuable insurance policy for Jacksonville if Etienne misses extended time, and Johnson would be set to reprise his No. 2 role in a Week 8 home matchup against the Packers if the latter remains out.

Jaguars' D'Ernest Johnson: Role could expand sans Etienne
Jaguars head coach Doug Pederson suggested that Johnson is in line to take on a greater role out of the backfield for Sunday's game against the Patriots in London due to Travis Etienne (hamstring) set to be inactive for the contest, Steve Wyche of NFL Network reports.
With Etienne set to miss his first game of the season, the Jaguars will keep Johnson, Bigsby and practice-squad call-up Jake Funk active as their three running backs for Week 7. When Etienne exited the Jaguars' Week 6 loss to the Bears after playing just 11 snaps, Johnson (34 snaps) finished with far more playing time than Bigsby (16 snaps), but a negative game script and Johnson's standing as Jacksonville's preferred option on passing downs was likely a significant factor. Though Johnson should still rank as the clear choice ahead of Bigsby on third downs and obvious passing situations, expect Bigsby to serve as the Jaguars' lead runner in Etienne's absence this week. Bigsby is averaging an impressive 7.2 yards per carry on 41 totes this season, though Johnson has been competent in his opportunities on the ground as well (16 carries for 67 yards). Johnson's fantasy utility for Week 7 will likely be mostly limited to deeper PPR leagues.
