Johnson has battled ankle, shoulder, and knee injuries all season and missed the season opener after deciding to have ankle surgery prior to the start of the 2020 training camp.
Johnson told reporters that he needs ankle surgery that will require four to five months to recover and with the Pro Bowler out, Matt Pryor will take over at right tackle.
