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.

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.

Career-high 77 yards in OT loss Johnson caught three of five targets for 77 yards in Sunday's 34-27 overtime loss to the Lions.

Impact Just over half of Johnson's yards came on a 39-yard catch in the fourth quarter. The 2024 fourth-round pick established a new single-game career high for receiving yards, topping his Week 10 total of 75 against the Bears by two yards. Johnson has emerged as a consistent receiving option heading into a Week 13 trip to New England, regardless of whether the Giants start Jameis Winston for a third consecutive game or get rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart (concussion) back.

Modest results with Winston at QB Johnson corralled three of four targets for 36 yards in Sunday's Week 11 loss to Green Bay.

Impact Johnson set career-high marks with seven catches for 75 yards the previous Sunday against Chicago, but he went back to something close to his usual level of production versus the Packers. That may have had something to do with a change at QB -- Jaxson Dart (concussion) didn't play, and the Giants elected to go with Jameis Winston rather than Russell Wilson behind center. Johnson's stat line Sunday was slightly better than his averages of 2.9 receptions for 26.6 yards over the first nine games of the campaign, and he seems to have built a decent weekly floor with at least three catches in seven of his past eight contests. Should Dart be able to return to action against Detroit on Sunday, Johnson's outlook would likely bump up a bit.

Sets career highs in catches, yards Johnson caught seven of eight targets for 75 yards in Sunday's 24-20 loss to the Bears.

Impact Johnson set career highs in targets, catches and receiving yards. He has built nice chemistry with rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart, but Dart exited in the second half due to a concussion. It will be difficult for Johnson to build on this strong outing if he's catching passes from backup quarterback Russell Wilson in Week 11 against the Packers.

No restrictions Thursday Johnson (shoulder) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Impact Johnson had his practice reps capped Wednesday while he was nursing the shoulder issue coming out of the Giants' Week 9 loss to the 49ers, but the injury doesn't look as though it will be anything that prevents him from playing this Sunday in Chicago. The second-year tight end has settled into an elevated role in the New York passing attack in recent weeks, playing at least 80 percent of the snaps in each of the last five games while accruing a 17-173-4 receiving line on 28 targets over that stretch.

Dealing with shoulder issue Johnson was limited at Wednesday's practice due to a shoulder injury, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Impact Johnson has taken full advantage of his 33 targets over the last six games, hauling in 20 for 190 yards and five touchdowns. All of them have come with rookie first-round pick Jaxson Dart directing the offense, but Johnson now is dealing with a health concern. Johnson's status will be monitored as the week goes on to get a sense of his odds to suit up Sunday in Chicago.

NOVEMBER 5, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Five TDs in last six games Johnson caught three of six targets for 27 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-24 loss to the 49ers.

Impact Johnson capped the opening drive with his fifth touchdown in the past six games, scoring from 15 yards. His five other targets resulted in only 12 yards. Given the plethora of injuries to skill position players for the Giants, Johnson will likely continue to work as one of the team's top contributors in the passing game against the Bears in Week 10.
