Johnson appeared for the first time since June 25 and made it 70 minutes while picking up an assist in Saturday's 3-1 win at Philadelphia.

Jozy Altidore did most of the work on the goal, but Johnson picked up an assist nonetheless. Already in a loaded lineup, Johnson will try and carve out a consistent role over the final months of the season.

Johnson (leg) is available off the bench Saturday against Houston.

Johnson has been out for a number of weeks, so his spot on the bench shouldn't be overly surprising. Once he gets his match fitness back, he should vie for a starting spot, though even then his fantasy value is fairly limited.

Johnson (leg) is unlikely to play Saturday against Houston, but he could return Aug. 20 against Philadelphia, the Toronto Sun reports.

The TFC midfield has dealt with a plethora of injuries this season, and Johnson's return will surely be a boost, though his fantasy upside is fairly limited in many formats.

Johnson is questionable for Saturday's match against New England. He has missed the last seven matches due to a fractured tibia.

Even if Johnson is ready, he may be used simply as a substitute coming off a fractured tibia. That said, if he does start, Johnson will be in a good spot at home against the Revolution.

Johnson is expected to miss six weeks with a fracture in his tibia.

Johnson suffered the injury after scoring in the 95th minute of Wednesday's Canadian Championship final. The injury comes at a terrible time for Toronto, who are expected to be without fellow midfielder Michael Bradley for six weeks. Johnson will likely be replaced by Tsubasa Endoh in the starting lineup.

Johnson had four shots, including a penalty that was saved, adding three tackles and four interceptions as Toronto FC lost 3-0 to New York Red Bulls.

Converting the penalty would have given his side a glimmer of hope while playing with a man advantage but the acting captain was not able to get his side back into the match. The Canadian struggled to fill Michael Bradley's shoes in the heart of the midfield but the 29-year-old has been a solid contributor on the whole.

Johnson saved a point for Toronto after scoring in the 42nd minute of their 1-1 draw with New York City FC on Wednesday.

Johnson still only has two goals on the season to go with two assists, so he isn't lighting up the scoreboard by any means. However, he has been of more use than teammate Michael Bradley, who has yet to score this year.
