Quick answer
WatchJohnson had 4 solo tackles, 1 sack in 2025, finishing DL171. Recent form cooled from DL130 to DL171 — watch whether that's noise or a real step down. 2025 stopped at 9 games; staying on the field is the swing factor. Treat this as a watch, not a hold-forever — confirm the dip is real before adding more exposure.
