Tyler Johnson is having himself a very happy Easter.

Per his agency Team IFA, Johnson re-signed with the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday morning. No terms of the deal have been released as of yet.

Johnson, 25, spent most of last season on the Rams' practice squad. He was promoted to the active roster ahead of the Rams' regular season finale against the San Francisco 49ers, in which he caught two passes for eight yards and a touchdown as most of L.A.'s stars rested for the playoffs.

A former collegiate star for the Minnesota Golden Gophers, Johnson was a fifth-round selection in the 2020 NFL Draft by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He started seven regular season games for the Bucs across two seasons and even came up big on a couple of occasions during their Super Bowl LV run.

Johnson also appeared in two games for the Houston Texans in 2022, although he did not register a reception.

The Rams have solidified their depth behind star receivers Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp, as they also re-signed Demarcus Robinson earlier this offseason.
