The Green Bay Packers have added linebacker DJ Johnson to their roster ahead of Week 9 of the 2026 NFL season. Johnson, a former third-round selection, previously played for the Carolina Panthers, where he wore number 52.
The move comes as Green Bay looks to bolster its linebacker depth. Johnson appeared in the Panthers' 2025 preseason opener against the Cleveland Browns on August 8, 2025, at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte.
Financial terms and contract details of the signing were not immediately disclosed. The Packers enter Week 9 seeking to strengthen their defensive unit for the remainder of the season.
