• In fact, Rams HC Jeff Fisher said Johnson will not play this Sunday and is currently “week-to-week” with his injury. (Alden Gonzalez)
• Fisher indicated that CB Troy Hill will fill in as the Rams’ outside cornerback in Johnson’s absence. (Myles Simmons)

Redskins

• JP Finlay of CSN Mid-Atlantic reports there is “zero truth” to Redskins’ second-round LB Su’a Cravens‘ statement on social media that he has permanent damage to his vision due to a concussion.
• Cravens is still going through the league’s concussion protocol after sustaining the injury during Week 4’s victory over the Browns. According to Finlay, Cravens could be cleared as early as tomorrow.
