Sits out Wednesday with quad injury Johnson didn't practice Wednesday due to a quadriceps injury.

Impact Since the Saints' Week 14 bye, Johnson has sandwiched 60-plus-yard efforts around a nine-yard Week 16, totaling 10 catches (on 15 targets) for 138 yards and two touchdowns over that three-game stretch. Now with a quad injury in tow, his status will be monitored as the week goes on to get a sense of his potential to play Sunday versus the Panthers.

Leads Saints in targets Johnson recorded five receptions on seven targets for 62 yards in Sunday's 20-10 win over the Eagles.

Impact The Saints were able to maintain a run-heavy offense in positive game script, but even so Johnson matched his season high with seven targets. He turned in a few big plays, highlighted by gains of 21 and 17 yards. Johnson was touchdown-reliant earlier in the season, though he's now topped 60 receiving yards in two of his last three contests.

Struggles in blustery conditions Johnson reeled in one of two targets for nine yards during Saturday's 17-10 win over Cleveland.

Impact Johnson took a step back following his two-touchdown performance against Atlanta last week. The 6-foot-4 receiving tight end dropped his first target late in the first quarter while laying out for a pass that likely should have been caught. What's worse, this drop led the ball to bounce up in the air for an easy interception to Browns safety Grant Delpit. Johnson's opportunities then fell to the wayside in Saturday's windy and frigid conditions, as the Saints attempted just seven passes while leaning into an option rushing attack over the final three quarters. Johnson still tied with wideout Keith Kirkwood for the team's third-most targets behind Rashid Shaheed (five) and running back Alvin Kamara (four). Johnson will look to bounce back against Philadelphia in Week 17.

Grabs two TDs in return Johnson hauled in four of six targets for 67 yards and two touchdowns during Sunday's 21-18 win versus Atlanta.

Impact Johnson returned following a one-game absence due to an ankle injury. As a result, he reprised his role as one of the Saints' top receivers, pacing the team in targets and receptions Week 15. Johnson also displayed his ability after the catch by evading multiple Atlanta defenders on his way in a 19-yard touchdown on the opening drive of the game. Johnson now leads the Saints with seven receiving touchdowns this season, all of which have come across his last seven games.

Back in the fold Sunday Johnson (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against the Falcons, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.

Impact Coming off his only absence of the season Week 13 due to an ankle injury, Johnson used the Saints' Week 14 bye to get healthier, which resulted in limited sessions Wednesday through Friday and a questionable designation for Week 15. Fellow tight end Adam Trautman (ankle) experienced the same regimen and designation, but in the end both players will be available Sunday. Johnson has been the better pass catcher of the two this season, recording a cumulative 31-349-5 line on 49 targets in 12 appearances.

DECEMBER 18, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Sunday Johnson (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Falcons, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.

Impact The same goes for Adam Trautman (back), with both TEs limited practice participants Wednesday through Friday. Johnson has dominated the tight-end targets in New Orleans this year, though an average of 4.1 per game still makes for a low floor in fantasy. The Saints will release their inactives 90 minutes before the 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff Sunday.

Stays limited at practice Johnson (ankle) practiced in a limited fashion Thursday.

Impact Prior to the Saints' last game Week 13 against the Buccaneers, Johnson didn't practice at all before he was ruled out on the final injury report. After a Week 14 bye, he's put together back-to-back limited listings, which also can be said for fellow tight end Adam Trautman (ankle). The team's final report of the week Friday may provide some clarity regarding who among the duo has a chance to play Sunday versus the Falcons.

Practices Wednesday Johnson (ankle) was a limited practice participant Wednesday, ESPN's Kat Terrell reports.

Impact Johnson was unable to practice leading up to New Orleans' loss to Tampa Bay on Monday night in Week 13, so his return to practice early in this week is an encouraging sign. With the Week 14 bye to give additional healing time, hopefully Johnson will be able to return when New Orleans faces Atlanta in Week 15. Fellow tight end Adam Trautman was also limited in practice Wednesday with an ankle issue, so that will be worth monitoring over the week in order to project Johnson's potential playing time against Atlanta.

DECEMBER 14, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Out for Monday Johnson (ankle) has been ruled out and will not play Monday against the Buccaneers, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Johnson never managed to practice this week, so it's not entirely surprising to see the touchdown threat sidelined. Expect Adam Trautman to see an increase in snaps while Taysom Hill will continue his usual multi-position production.

Saints Injury Roundup: Juwan Johnson Misses Second Straight Practice The Saints saw some players get upgraded on their second injury report of Week 13.

DECEMBER 2, 2022 • STAR-TELEGRAM.COM

No practice again Johnson (ankle) didn't practice Friday.

Impact The tight end is in danger of missing Monday's game at Tampa Bay after back-to-back missed practices. He played only 45 percent of snaps and finished without a catch in last week's 13-0 loss to San Francisco, following six straight games with multiple receptions and at least 63 percent snap share (not to mention five TDs in the six-game stretch). Adam Trautman and Taysom Hill are the best bets to take on more snaps if Johnson can't play Monday night, though his absence might also free up more playing time for the team's depth wide receivers.

DECEMBER 2, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Sits out practice with ankle injury Johnson didn't practice Thursday due to an ankle injury, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Johnson was idle for the Saints' first Week 13 practice after he played 24 snaps on offense (45 percent share) while failing to reel in either of his targets in this past Sunday's 13-0 loss to the 49ers. The knee issue may explain why Johnson handled his lowest snap share of the season, and the injury at least temporarily puts his status into question for Monday's game at Tampa Bay. Adam Trautman is the next man up for reps at tight end if Johnson is unable to play this week.

DECEMBER 1, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Zero catches in loss Johnson did not haul in either of his two targets during Sunday's 13-0 loss to the 49ers.

Impact Johnson was held without a catch for just the second time this season. While the 6-foot-4 tight end tied his second-fewest targets of the year, he did have an additional target wiped off the board by a roughing the passer penalty absorbed by Taysom Hill in the fourth quarter. Johnson also played a season-low 47 percent of the Saints' offensive snaps behind fellow tight end Adam Trautman (61 percent), who was only targeted once Week 12. Johnson will look to bounce back in next week's divisional matchup against Tampa Bay on Monday Night Football.

NOVEMBER 28, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Remains involved in passing game Johnson hauled in three of four targets for 47 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's 27-20 victory over the Rams.

Impact Johnson once again played a significant role during this bounce-back performance for the Saints' offense, as he tied running back Alvin Kamara for the team's second-most receiving yards behind wideout Chris Olave. The tight end also caught an eight-yard touchdown from quarterback Andy Dalton in the second quarter, marking his third straight game with at least 42 receiving yards and one score. Outside of a disappointing two-catch performance against the Raiders in Week 8, Johnson has been a consistent factor in the passing game for the past five contests, and he should maintain a reliable role next week against San Francisco.

NOVEMBER 21, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Heavily involved during loss Johnson recorded five receptions on seven targets for 44 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 20-10 loss to the Steelers.

Impact Johnson paced the Saints' pass catchers in receptions and yards, and he also recorded the team's only touchdown of the day. His score came late in the first half when he got open down the right sideline for a relatively easy 15-yard touchdown. He didn't have particularly notable receptions otherwise, though Johnson has now topped 40 receiving yards in three of his last five games -- also tallying four touchdowns in that span.

NOVEMBER 14, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Benefits from Baltimore miscue Johnson recorded two receptions on two targets for 42 yards and a touchdown in Monday's 27-13 loss to the Ravens.

Impact As was expected, Johnson saw a dip in targets due to the return of Adam Trautman. Despite his lack of involvement, Johnson managed a fortunate 41-yard touchdown reception late in the fourth quarter that came after Marcus Peters mistakenly believed he pushed Johnson out of bounds and gave up on the play. Despite the decent stat line, Johnson is at risk of poor production until he proves capable of racking up consistent targets once again.

Juwan Johnson's tightrope act is a sight to behold on 41-yard TD reception New Orleans Saints tight end Juwan Johnson's tightrope act is a sight to behold on a 41-yard touchdown reception.

NOVEMBER 8, 2022 • NFL.COM

Two catches Sunday Johnson notched two receptions (on four targets) for 14 yards over 47 offensive snaps during Sunday's 24-0 win against Las Vegas.

Impact Johnson played as one of the Saints' top receiving options and caught a pass on two of the team's first three offensive series Sunday. With wide receivers Michael Thomas (foot) and Jarvis Landry (ankle) still sidelined, the 6-foot-4 tight end finished third on the team in targets behind running back Alvin Kamara (10) and wideout Chris Olave (seven). Johnson also saw the bulk of New Orleans' snaps at tight end ahead of Nick Vannett (37) and J.P. Holtz (13), as Adam Trautman (ankle) missed his second game in a row. The 26-year-old Johnson should continue to attract a consistent share of the Saints' targets so long as Thomas and Landry remain out.

NOVEMBER 1, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Suiting up in Week 8 Johnson (hamstring) Is active for Sunday's game against the Raiders.

Impact Johnson was tacked on to the Saints' injury report Thursday due to a hamstring issue, which limited him in practice Thursday and Friday, but he'll nonetheless be available to the offense. As for fellow tight end Adam Trautman, he'll miss a second consecutive contest due to a left ankle injury. Over the last two outings, Johnson has been looked at often by quarterback Andy Dalton, hauling in nine of 11 targets for 73 yards and two touchdowns.
