Impact Johnson missed the Giants' last two games before their bye in Week 8 due to a neck injury, but it looks like the last week of rest may have benefitted him.

Won't play Sunday Johnson (neck) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Texans, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

Impact Johnson's lack of participation in Friday's practice session appears to have been indicative of his playing status for Sunday's contest. The tight end will not be able to overcome his neck injury in time for Week 7 and will have to look towards the Giants' Week 9 contest against the Eagles after the bye.

OCTOBER 24 • ROTOWIRE

Unlikely to play against Houston Johnson (neck) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Texans.

Impact Johnson's practice reps in each of the first two practices of Week 7 prep were limited due to a neck injury, and he was sidelined entirely for Friday's session. He's trending toward missing a second consecutive game, so Thomas Fidone and Chris Manhertz would both be in line for more work behind Isaiah Likely in the event that Johnson is ruled out for Sunday's contest.

Still limited at practice Thursday Johnson (neck) was a limited participant at practice Thursday.

Impact Johnson was back at practice Wednesday after being sidelined because of a neck injury in Week 6 versus the Saints, but another day later, it's still hindering him ahead of a Week 7 tilt at Houston.

Back at practice Wednesday Johnson (neck) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Impact Johnson was practicing in a limited capacity in the leadup to the Giants' matchup versus the Saints in Week 6, but he ultimately downgraded to missing practice later in the week before sitting out that contest. He'll likely have to participate fully in practice Thursday or Friday to dodge taking an injury designation into the weekend.

Ruled out against New Orleans Johnson (neck) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Saints.

Impact A neck injury limited Johnson's practice participation Wednesday and Thursday, but he was a DNP for Friday's session before being subsequently ruled out for Sunday's contest. In his absence, Chris Manhertz and Thomas Fidone are candidates to step into the TE2 role behind Isaiah Likely. Johnson's next chance to play is Week 7 against the Texans on Sunday, Oct. 25.

Dealing with neck injury Johnson (neck) was listed as a limited practice participant on Wednesday's injury report, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Impact Johnson caught two of three passes for 35 yards during the Giants' 27-27 tie against the Commanders in Week 5, but he may have tweaked his neck at some point during the game. He would avoid an injury tag for Sunday's contest against the Saints if he can log a full practice in one of the next two days of practice.

OCTOBER 4 • GIANTS.COM

Theo Johnson's disappearing act is pushing Giants toward a tipping point Theo Johnson is quickly fading from the New York Giants offense, and his shrinking role is making the bigger picture hard to ignore.

SEPTEMBER 24 • GMENHQ.COM

Four targets, zero catches in Week 2 loss Johnson played 16 of the Giants' 58 offensive snaps but did not haul in any of his four targets during Monday's 28-6 loss to the Rams.

Impact All four of Johnson's targets came in the first half, three of which were in the first period. The third-year tight end failed to record a catch, but he did log a tackle on Trent McDuffie after the latter intercepted Jameis Winston midway through the second quarter. Johnson is firmly behind Isaiah Likely on the depth chart, though all of the Giants pass catchers figure to see their production dip with Winston under center instead of Jaxson Dart, the latter of whom could miss the rest of the season due to a knee injury.

Limited offensive production in Week 1 Johnson caught his only target for nine yards in Sunday night's 28-20 win over the Cowboys.

Impact Johnson operated as a clear second-fiddle to Isaiah Likely at tight end in Week 1, with the latter reeling in all eight of his targets for 78 yards and two scores in the game. Johnson was only on the field for 32 of the team's 69 offensive snaps, and as long as Likely is available, he won't have much fantasy appeal this season.

SEPTEMBER 15 • ROTOWIRE

Full practice Wednesday Johnson (shoulder) was a full practice participant Wednesday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Impact Johnson is coming off a 2025 regular season in which he posted a 45-528-5 line on 74 targets in 15 games, but the arrival of TE Isaiah Likely via free agency has provided the former with some competition at the position ahead of his third pro campaign. With the shoulder injury he picked up in an Aug. 24 practice behind Johnson, he'll focus on being a regular part of the Giants offense in Sunday's Week 1 matchup with the Cowboys.

SEPTEMBER 9 • ROTOWIRE

Donning non-contact jersey at practice Johnson (shoulder) is participating in Monday's practice in a non-contact jersey, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports.

Impact Johnson was injured in practice last Monday and continues to deal with the injury, though his return to action would suggest the tight end is on track to play Week 1 against the Cowboys. Johnson figures to work mostly as a blocker this season after the Giants signed Isaiah Likely to a contract over the offseason.

AUGUST 24 • ROTOWIRE

One catch in preseason Week 2 Johnson caught his only target for 12 yards in Saturday's 26-3 preseason win over the Dolphins.

Impact Johnson is expected to work as the Giants' No. 2 TE in 2026 behind offseason addition Isaiah Likely, who previously played under new Giants head coach John Harbaugh in Baltimore. As the team's top option at the position in 2025, Johnson caught 45 of 74 targets for 528 yards and five TDs. Likely's career high in any regular season is only 477 receiving yards, though he was stuck behind Mark Andrews during his stint with the Ravens.
