Kevin Johnson Fantasy Stats

Cleveland Browns cornerback Kevin Johnson (liver) was admitted to the hospital on Wednesday after he sustained a laceration to his liver when another player landed on him during practice. He is resting comfortably and is expected to remain in the hospital for at least another 24 hours for observation. The 28-year-old will obviously miss some time in training camp, but he has time to heal up and be ready for the start of the regular season, which is just over a month away. Johnson represents cornerback depth in Cleveland and had 36 combined tackles and five passes defensed in 16 games (one start) in his lone season with Buffalo in 2019.

The Houston Texans placed cornerback Kevin Johnson (concussion) on Injured Reserve on Tuesday. Johnson will be eligible to return but must sit out at least eight weeks. Johnson's absence will make the team's secondary much weaker, but their strong defensive front could make up for it. The Texans defense/special teams is definitely worth starting in Week 2 against the Titans, who are without their left and right tackles and minus their top pass-catching target in Delanie Walker (ankle).

Houston Texans cornerback Kevin Johnson (concussion) is expected to be out four weeks, and potentially up to six weeks, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Johnson has a history of concussions, suffering one on Aug. 18 and in 2017. Aaron Colvin, Kayvon Webster and Johnson Bademosi are potential replacements for Johnson. His absence will weaken Houston's secondary, but their overall defense still remains a low-end fantasy option in Week 2 against the Titans.

Houston Texans cornerback Kevin Johnson (knee), who has missed four games after spraining his MCL, is back at practice and should play Sunday if he doesn't suffer any setbacks during the week. Johnson's addition would help the Texans defense, who have already lost two key starters for the rest of the season in J.J. Watt and Whitney Mercilus, as they enter a match-up with a Seahawks offense that has been very hit-or-miss with their passing game in 2017. Even with Johnson, Houston is a risky play, but his presence can help provide their secondary with some much-needed consistency.

Houston Texans cornerback Kevin Johnson will miss four to six weeks after spraining his knee in the team's 13-9 win over the Cincinnati Bengals. Johnson, a former first-round pick for the Texans, had been starting at corner this season for the team. His loss hurts Houston's defense in both real life and fantasy. Avoid the Houston D/ST for Week 3's matchup with the New England Patriots.

The Houston Texans lost two defensive backs on Thursday against the Cincinnati Bengals, with starters Kevin Johnson (knee) and Johnathan Joseph (shoulder) leaving the game. The team does not believe the injuries are serious, but the situation is worth monitoring with the Texans playing the Patriots in Week 3. If either or both players miss that game, the Texans defense will likely be unplayable against an explosive Patriots offense. Even with both players healthy, though, it is still a tough match-up.
