— Los Angeles Chargers (@chargers) October 13, 2024
Johnston caught a ball off a drag route early in the first quarter and caught his foot in the turf as Denver safety Brandon Jones twisted him around for a tackle.
Johnston got to his feet and hobbled off the field in clear discomfort. He was carted to the locker room shortly after.
The 2023 first-round pick had two receptions for 14 yards when he was pulled from the game. He was hoping to have a breakout season, tallying 11 receptions for 142 yards and a career-high three touchdowns through the Chargers' first four games.
