NFL Trade Rumors
Ian Rapoport reports that the Patriots are signing RB D’Ernest Johnson to the active roster and placing RB Terrell Jennings on injured reserve.
Johnson, 29, wound up going undrafted out of South Florida back in 2019. He later signed a rookie contract with the Browns and re-signed to a one-year deal in 2022.
Johnson signed with the Jaguars on a one-year, $1.2 million contract for the 2023 season. He returned on another one-year deal in 2024 and joined the Ravens for training camp before being released.
The Cardinals hosted Johnson for a workout back in September and later signed him to their practice squad. He was activated for one game, then made his way to the Patriots’ practice squad.
In 2025, Johnson has appeared in three games for the Cardinals and Patriots and rushed four times for seven yards.
