Vikings S Tyrell Johnson was arrested on a fourth-degree DWI charge early Tuesday morning.

Johnson’s alcohol concentration registered 0.12. A fourth-degree DWI is a misdemeanor. Johnson has been a disappointment since being selected with the No. 43 overall pick in the 2008 draft, failing to beat out for Jamarca Sanford for the starting job this summer. He’ll likely avoid league discipline as this is his first violation of the personal conduct policy.

Dolphins SS Tyrell Johnson is “85 percent” recovered from the hamstring tendon avulsion that ended his season in late November.

The injury was serious enough to require surgery. Johnson may be eased into OTAs to familiarize himself with Kevin Coyle’s defense, but he’s unlikely to be a full participant until training camp.

Dolphins signed SS Tyrell Johnson, formerly of the Vikings.

The 43rd pick in the 2008 draft, Johnson underachieved in Minnesota, starting just 27 of 49 games over four seasons. He was primarily a special teamer last year, playing roughly 30 percent of the defensive snaps. A liability in deep coverage, Johnson is a candidate to replace Yeremiah Bell as the Dolphins’ in-the-box safety.

Vikings coach Leslie Frazier described S Tyrell Johnson’s hamstring injury as “significant” at his Monday press conference.

It sounds like Johnson could be dealing with a season-ending ailment. Minnesota’s primary reserve at safety, Johnson has tallied 28 tackles and zero interceptions. Mistral Raymond should be first in line for an increase in snaps.

Vikings placed S Tyrell Johnson on injured reserve with a torn hamstring, ending his season.

Johnson suffered the tough injury in Week 12. With Husain Abdullah also done for the year, Mistral Raymond will likely take over at free safety, leaving the Vikes with second- or third-teamers at three positions in the secondary. A bust as the No. 43 pick in the 2008 draft, Johnson will reach free agency in 2012.

According to the Miami Herald, Dolphins SS Tyrell Johnson ended the offseason program “no better than fifth on the depth chart.”

Johnson was signed as a candidate to replace Yeremiah Bell, but will likely make a bigger impact on special teams. He hasn’t shown anything that would indicate he’s ahead of Chris Clemons at this stage. The Herald considers Johnson the “biggest disappointment” of the Dolphins’ free agent signings.
