Out again Johnson (illness) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Dallas, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Johnson didn't practice this week and will now miss a second straight game to close out his second pro season. He played in each of the first 15 games, catching 45 of 74 targets for 528 yards and five touchdowns. Johnson probably did enough to keep his starting job in 2026, but things can always change if the Giants fall in love with a free agent or draft pick.

Absent from practice Wednesday Johnson (illness) is not participating in Wednesday's practice, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Johnson missed New York's win over the Raiders in Week 17 due to an illness that continues to prevent him from taking part in practice. He'll have two more opportunities to resume practicing in at least a limited capacity ahead of the Giants' regular-season finale against the Cowboys on Sunday. If Johnson can't gain clearance to play Week 18, expect Daniel Bellinger and Chris Manhertz to again lead New York's tight end position.

Jaxson Dart has his least productive NFL start in the Giants' ninth consecutive loss

Jaxson Dart had by far his fewest passing completions, attempts and yards of his first 10 NFL starts in the New York Giants' loss to Minnesota

DECEMBER 22, 2025 • Associated Press

Blanked on two Week 16 targets Johnson didn't catch either of his two targets in Sunday's 16-13 loss to the Vikings.

Impact Johnson was a non-factor as Jaxson Dart threw for just 33 yards. Prior to Sunday's goose egg, Johnson had caught at least three passes in eight consecutive games. Johnson will likely be more involved if the Giants turn to a more balanced approach in Week 17 against the Raiders after this run-heavy loss.

Leading receiver in Week 15 loss Johnson caught three of four targets for 72 yards in Sunday's 29-21 loss to the Commanders.

Impact The second-year tight end led the Giants in receiving yards on the day, as he topped 70 yards for the third time in the last five games. Johnson is quietly having a breakout campaign despite the struggles of the rest of the team, putting together a 45-528-5 line on 72 targets through 14 contests. He'll look to keep rolling in a Week 16 clash with the Vikings.

Cleared to play Johnson (toe) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against Washington, Matt Citak of the Giants' official site reports.

Impact Johnson upgraded to full practice Friday after limited sessions the previous two days. He should be ready for his usual near-every-down role, against a Washington defense that's allowing a league-high 8.7 yards per pass attempt.

DECEMBER 12, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Another limited practice Johnson (toe) practiced in a limited fashion Thursday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Impact This marks Johnson's second capped session to begin Week 15 prep due to a toe injury, giving him just one more opportunity to get back to full Friday, or else he'll be at risk of heading into the weekend with a designation for Sunday's game against the Commanders. With rookie QB Jaxson Dart back under center in the Giants' last game Week 13 at New England, Johnson hauled in three of eight targets for 29 yards, which was his seventh outing in 13 appearances this season with fewer than 30 receiving yards.

DECEMBER 11, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Dealing with toe injury Johnson was limited at Wednesday's practice due to a toe injury, Matt Citak of the Giants' official site reports.

Impact In the wake of the Giants' Week 14 bye, Johnson now is dealing with a health concern that may stem back to the team's last game Dec. 1 at New England. In any case, he'll have two more opportunities to get back to full this week before New York potentially tags him with a designation for Sunday's contest against the Commanders.

'Never satisfied' Patriots head into bye week on a 10-game winning streak after beating Giants

The New England Patriots went from winning 11 consecutive AFC East titles during the Bill Belichick and Tom Brady era, to looking up to Buffalo in each of the past five seasons

Matches previous high in targets Johnson had three receptions on eight targets for 29 yards in Monday's 33-15 loss to the Patriots.

Impact Johnson matched his previous single-game high in targets (eight) set back in Week 10 against the Bears, but the large volume didn't translate into proportional production this time around. The 24-year-old was New Work's fourth-leading receiver despite tying Wan'Dale Robinson for the most looks from Jaxson Dart on Monday Night Football. Johnson has still been a pleasant surprise in fantasy this season after generating a 42-456-5 receiving line across 13 games while catching passes from three different quarterbacks. The Penn State product has carved out a significant role on offense and should maintain steady value when the Giants return from the upcoming bye week to host the Commanders in Week 15.
