The Green Bay Packers announced they have signed EDGE DJ Johnson , QB Cam Miller and S John Saunders Jr. to the practice squad.

The Packers released S Kahlef Hailassie from the practice squad in a corresponding move.

Johnson, 26, was a third-round pick by the Panthers in the 2023 NFL Draft out of Oregon. He signed a four-year rookie deal through 2026 and was set to make a base salary of $1.25 million in 2025. However, he was released partway through the season. 

From there, ended the year with Washington’s practice squad and started the 2026 season on the Commanders’ practice squad after being among the final roster cuts. Washington let Johnson go two weeks into September, however.

In 2025, Johnson has appeared in four games for the Panthers and recorded two total tackles.
