What happened: Offensive tackle Fred Johnson was placed on waivers Friday and is subject to claims across the NFL. The move makes the veteran offensive lineman available ahead of Week 11 action.
Why it matters: Offensive line depth remains at a premium across the league as contending rosters navigate midseason injuries. Any claiming club would assume Johnson's existing contract terms for the remainder of the 2026 campaign.
What to watch: Clubs have 24 hours to submit waiver claims on Johnson before he potentially becomes an unrestricted free agent.
