Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could compete for left tackle job
Josh Weinfuss of ESPN believes Johnson will get an opportunity to compete for the starting left tackle job in camp.
ANALYSIS
Johnson was Arizona's starting right tackle as a rookie in 2023 while D.J. Humphries started at left tackle. Humphries tore his ACL in Week 17 and was subsequently released, but Arizona signed free-agent offensive tackle Jonah Williams to a two-year, $30 million contract. Despite Williams' hefty contract, Weinfuss thinks Johnson will have a chance to win the left tackle spot in camp, with Williams shifting to right tackle should Johnson slot in on Kyler Murray's blind side.
