8 months agoBaltimore Ravens quarterback
Josh Johnson put together a nearly perfect half of football in the team's 13-12 win over the Atlanta Falcons on Saturday afternoon. The veteran completed all 11 of his pass attempts for 120 yards and a touchdown and carried the ball twice for eight yards on the ground. The lone miscues were a sack for 12 yards and a miscommunication with the center that led to a fumble, but it didn't officially count in Johnson's box score. In the first quarter, a lot of Johnson's throws were short passing plays, but he ended up completing big play after big play in the second quarter. In the touchdown drive, he completed passes of 12, 13, and 31 yards respectively, capped off by a six-yard score to
Owen Wright.

11 months agoBaltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh reiterated after the NFL draft that quarterback
Josh Johnson is his No. 2 quarterback right now behind starter
Lamar Jackson. Harbaugh said that sixth-round rookie
Devin Leary will "probably be the third quarterback this year in some way or fashion and grow into the job as we go."
Malik Cunningham, who was signed off the New England Patriots' practice squad in December, has time to change the coaching staff's mind in training camp this summer, but the Ravens have been non-committal about their long-term plans for him. Now that
Tyler Huntley is now in Cleveland, the 37-year-old journeyman Johnson will be the primary backup for Jackson entering the 2024 season. Needless to say, but the Ravens will be in trouble if Jackson misses time with an injury.

1 year agoThe Baltimore Ravens are expected to sign free-agent backup quarterback
Josh Johnson to an undisclosed one-year deal, according to a source. Johnson will return to the team for the fourth different time in his career. The 37-year-old journeyman signal-caller didn't appear in an NFL game at all in 2023 and attempted two passes in 2022 with the San Francisco 49ers. The former fifth-round pick of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2008 out of San Diego has been with seven different NFL organizations in his time in the league. With
Tyler Huntley being a free agent, Johnson could compete with
Malik Cunningham for the backup role to
Lamar Jackson in 2024, but the Ravens could still re-sign Huntley or bring in another quarterback this offseason.

2 years agoBaltimore Ravens quarterback
Josh Johnson completed all but two throws on Monday night against the Washington Commanders. The 37-year-old registered 145 yards through the air with two touchdowns and one interception while completing 10 of his 12 pass attempts. Which was good enough for a rating of 121.9. Johnson found both
Tylan Wallace and
Zay Flowers for scores in the first half as he kept the team within three points of the Commanders' first-string offense. Johnson is currently trying to challenge
Tyler Huntley for the backup spot but has a way to go to move the needle.
