Just because the season hasn’t started doesn’t mean players aren’t already injured. Lonnie Johnson has been inactive this entire week with a thigh issue. He’s been proposed as one of the breakout players on this roster, but early injuries may stymie his path to stardom.
Along with Johnson, we know Deshaun Watson will be on the roster but not on the game day roster due to his ongoing allegations and trade request. This will be a continued practice until he’s traded or the situation is resolved.
Other players to note on the inactive list is rookie tight end Brevin Jordan.
