IRVINE, Calif. — Veteran safety John Johnson is returning to the Los Angeles Rams on Monday after two seasons in Cleveland.
Johnson will officially rejoin the Rams’ roster after he passes a physical.
He was at training camp on Sunday at UC Irvine as an observer.
Johnson should provide much-needed experience and playmaking skill to the Rams’ defense, which is projected to be one of the NFL’s least-experienced groups.
Los Angeles has parted ways with six of its top seven tacklers from last season in various cost-cutting moves, including the free-agent departures of starting safeties Taylor Rapp and Nick Scott.
