Finds end zone twice in Week 3 loss Johnson caught all eight of his targets for 53 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 35-27 loss to the Raiders.

Impact The veteran tight end continues to have an impressive start to the season, hauling in TD strikes of one and two yards from Tyler Shough. but Johnson had a tough end to his day as he fumbled to end the Saints' final possession while they were trying to mount a comeback late in the fourth quarter. Johnson has put together a 15-173-3 line on 19 targets through three games, and he'll look to atone for his miscue in a Week 4 home tilt against the Falcons.

Efficient with 66 yards in Week 2 win Johnson caught all four targets for 66 yards in Sunday's 24-17 win over the Ravens.

Impact Johnson dealt with an illness during the week but played 36 of 68 offensive snaps and ran 23 routes on Tyler Shough's 39 dropbacks. It was a dip in snap rate and route share compared to Week 1 for Johnson, but he still out-targeted Noah Fant four to zero against Baltimore. Through two games, Johnson has seven catches for 120 yards and a touchdown on 11 targets. It will be interesting to see if his snaps and routes come back up to Week 1 levels next Sunday against the Raiders.

Clear for Week 2 Johnson (illness) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game in Baltimore

Impact Johnson sat out Wednesday's practice entirely due to an illness, but he ramped up as the week went on, going from limited Thursday to all activity Friday, thereby clearing him for Week 2 action. The status of New Orleans' top WR Chris Olave (hamstring) is in question heading into the weekend, so Johnson could be poised for more looks from QB Tyler Shough on Sunday, even if Olave is able to suit up. Johnson turned his seven Week 1 targets into three catches for 54 yards and one touchdown in an overtime loss at Detroit.

SEPTEMBER 18 • ROTOWIRE

Listed as limited Thursday Johnson (illness) was a limited participant at Thursday's practice.

Impact Johnson took a step in the right direction after sitting out practice entirely Wednesday. He still has a chance to avoid an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Ravens if Johnson can upgrade to full participation Friday. Johnson caught three of seven targets for 54 yards and a touchdown in the Saints' Week 1 overtime loss at Detroit.

SEPTEMBER 17 • ROTOWIRE

Back at practice Thursday Johnson (illness) returned to practice Thursday, Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reports.

Impact After missing Wednesday's practice due to an illness, Johnson got back in the mix Thursday. The Saints' injury report will clarify whether he was a limited or full participant. Regardless, this is a good sign for Johnson's availability heading into Sunday's game against the Ravens.

SEPTEMBER 17 • ROTOWIRE

Under the weather Johnson did not participate in Wednesday's practice due to an illness.

Impact Johnson's absence from Wednesday's practice was likely a precautionary measure, and the veteran tight end will have two more chances to return to practice ahead of the Saints' Week 2 road tilt against the Ravens on Sunday. Johnson had a career year in 2025 and produced a 3-54-1 receiving line (on seven targets) during the Saints' 31-30 overtime loss to the Lions in Week 1. With rookie first-round wideout Jordyn Tyson (hamstring) on injured reserve, Johnson, Chris Olave and Devaughn Vele are going to be the go-to targets in the passing game for quarterback Tyler Shough.

SEPTEMBER 17 • ROTOWIRE

Scores touchdown in OT loss Johnson caught three of his seven targets for 54 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-30 overtime loss to the Lions.

Impact Johnson had a strong Week 1, with Tyler Shough targeting the No. 1 tight end at the third-highest rate among Saints players. Only Chris Olave and Devaughn Vele saw more targets, but Johnson's 18.0 yards per reception were second only to Olave's 18.2.
