Johnson (ankle) was placed on injured reserve Friday, Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle reports.
Johnson suffered a serious injury against the Lions on Sunday, which coach Pete Carroll termed a stress fracture. He'll now be forced to miss Seattle's next four games, making him first eligible to return in Week 9 against Arizona. Johnson served primarily on special teams but was also a situational pass rusher for the Seahawks' defensive unit prior to going down.
Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said Monday that Johnson (ankle) suffered a serious injury and is going to miss some time, Liz Mathews of USA Today reports.
Carroll noted that he doesn't know the specifics of Johnson's injury, but the head coach added, "I do think it's a stress fracture kind of thing that he is dealing with. That's somewhat of a significant injury." The linebacker was claimed off waivers by Seattle when Shelby Harris was sidelined with a lower-body injury and garnered a solid depth role, but it appears like he'll be sidelined for a few weeks and may even end up on IR.

Bills' Darryl Johnson: Listed as questionable
Rotowire
Johnson (knee) is questionable for Saturday's divisional-round game against the Ravens.
Johnson didn't practice in any capacity this week, so his availability for Saturday's AFC divisional-round matchup appears truly murky. A.J. Epenesa and Trent Murphy could be tabbed for increased rotational roles if Johnson is unable to play.
