Bengals Elevate QB Josh Johnson From Practice Squad to Active Roster
The Bengals added veteran Josh Johnson for extra quarterback depth as Joe Burrow remains questionable with a back injury, with a final update due 90 minutes before kickoff.
- The Cincinnati Bengals elevated veteran quarterback Josh Johnson from the practice squad to the active roster, with star quarterback Joe Burrow remaining questionable for Week 2 against the Houston Texans.
- Earlier this week, Burrow reported 'back tightness' and was limited in practice Wednesday and Thursday, leading to his questionable designation for the Week 2 matchup.
- While the team continues to express confidence in Burrow's ability to play, management added Johnson as an extra layer of depth to ensure readiness if the starter cannot suit up.
- Cincinnati enters the contest aiming to build on a 33-27 Week 1 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, with its defense having forced four turnovers in the season opener.
- If Burrow is unable to play, 40-year-old Johnson will provide veteran insurance behind primary backup Joe Flacco, though the team still intends for its star starter to take the field.
