After being non-existent for several weeks, Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Quentin Johnston finally showed up in Week 16.

Johnston had his best game of the 2025 campaign against the Dallas Cowboys, reeling in four catches for 104 yards and a touchdown. The yardage output was his highest of the season.

However, Johnston is once again on track to no show in the Week 17 game against the Houston Texans, as he's off to a lackluster start.

Here's a closer look at what's going on.

Is Quentin Johnston playing today?

Yes, Johnston is active and healthy, he just hasn't gotten going yet.

It might be tough sledding for Johnston, as he's facing a Texans team that sports one of the best pass defenses and pass-rushes in the NFL.

Hopefully he gets going soon, but there is no guarantee that will happen.
