Kerryon Johnson News
The Philadelphia Eagles signed running back Kerryon Johnson and offensive lineman Luke Juriga to their practice squad on Tuesday and released kicker Matt McCrane from the practice squad in a corresponding move. Johnson saw nine special teams snaps with the San Francisco 49ers in Week 3, but otherwise has been making the rounds as a free agent trying out for running back-needy teams. Miles Sanders broke his hand in the Week 16 win over the New York Giants and was already ruled out for Week 17 against the Washington Football Team, so the Eagles are in need of some depth at the position in case Sanders cannot return to close out the regular season. The Eagles will lean on a backfield committee of Jordan Howard (neck), Boston Scott and rookie Kenneth Gainwell for the foreseeable future.
The Jacksonville Jaguars worked out running back Kerryon Johnson on Wednesday. Veteran back Carlos Hyde (concussion) sat out of Wednesday's practice. That means, Dare Ogunbowale is the backup right now for Week 15. On paper, it makes sense for the Jaguars to attempt to find more depth behind James Robinson. However, Johnson hasn't played all season and it's uncertain what he'd bring to the table. He had some success with the Detroit Lions, but hasn't played in 2021. It's unlikely Johnson would be worth rostering in any formats, assuming he does get signed by the team.
The Minnesota Vikings had free-agent running back Kerryon Johnson in for a workout on Tuesday. Starting running back Dalvin Cook (shoulder) suffered a dislocated left shoulder and a torn labrum in the Week 12 loss to the San Francisco 49ers and is expected to miss at least the next two games, leaving the Vikings looking for more RB depth behind Alexander Mattison and rookie Kene Nwangwu. With Cook sidelined for the next couple of weeks, expect Mattison to see most of the backfield work with Nwangwu serving as the change-of-pace back. With great matchups upcoming against the winless Detroit Lions and Pittsburgh Steelers, Mattison needs to be picked up in all leagues (if he's available). He'll have RB1 upside in Week 13 against the Lions.
