Jaguars' Antonio Johnson: Out again
Johnson (hamstring) will remain sidelined for Sunday's matchup with the Texans, Demetrius Harvey of The Florida Times-Union reports.
Johnson's absence will mark his third straight to start the season. He was a non-participant at practice all week, so this was the next logical step in that progression. The safety will now focus on his recovery and a potential return in Week 4.

Jaguars' Antonio Johnson: Likely to miss season opener
Jaguars head coach Doug Pederson said Wednesday that Johnson (hamstring) is still a week or two away from playing, Demetrius Harvey of The Florida Times-Union reports.
If Pederson's timeline is accurate, Johnson will miss Sunday's season opener at Indianapolis but will have a shot to play Week 2 versus Kansas City or Week 3 versus Houston. When healthy, the rookie fifth-round pick out of Texas A&M is unlikely to handle anything more that a depth role in the Jacksonville secondary.

Jaguars' Antonio Johnson: Won't play Saturday
Johnson (hamstring) will not dress for Saturday's preseason game against Miami, Demetrius Harvey of The Florida Times-Union reports.
The 2023 fifth-round pick's chances to miss the beginning of the season are becoming greater after he didn't dress for the Jaguars' final preseason game. Once he returns, Johnson will most likely serve as a depth piece in Jacksonville's safety room ahead of the coming season.

Jaguars' Antonio Johnson: Could miss start of season
Johnson (hamstring) is close to being ready, but head coach Doug Pederson also acknowledged that soft-tissue injuries are unpredictable, Demetrius Harvey of The Florida Times-Union reports.
Johnson is expected to serve a depth role at safety after being selected in the fifth round of the 2023 draft. However, he's been hampered by a hamstring injury, which seems to have his Week 1 status in doubt. He'll continue working on his recovery so he can make his NFL debut in the team's season opener against the Colts.

Jaguars' Antonio Johnson: Slide ends in Jacksonville
The Jaguars selected Johnson in the fifth round of the 2023 NFL Draft, 160th overall.
Some draft pundits had Johnson as a possible early Day 2 selection, so it's a major surprise to see the Texas A&M product fall to the late fifth. Johnson's probably more of a box safety than a true cover option (one career INT in college), but he plays with plenty of speed (4.52 40-yard dash) and size (6-foot-2, 201 pounds), which should suit him well when matching up versus opposing tight ends. Expect Johnson to compete with Andrew Wingard and Daniel Thomas for the Jaguars' third safety spot.
