Johnson getting cut is a surprise. His job never seemed under threat in preseason as he was actually the only wide receiver to catch a pass from Justin Fields and rested in the last game with nothing left to prove.
Hayes was a major surprise to be on the roster in the first place while Barnes became surplus to requirements when Cam Jones was claimed earlier today.
All three could be back on the practice squad tomorrow and head coach Aaron Glenn did say the roster is fluid earlier today. The initial practice squad will be announced any time and we’ll share that when it is.
