Questionable for Week 18 Johnson (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's contest against Washington, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Impact Johnson returned to practice in a limited fashion Thursday after being a non-participant to start the week. He may be in line for an increased workload if he's able to suit up for the first time since Week 15, as the Giants will be short handed at wide receiver with Kadarius Toney (shoulder) and John Ross (knee) both out.

Listed as non-participant Johnson (hamstring) was listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's practice estimation, Zack Rosenblatt of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.

Impact Johnson has missed the last two games with a hamstring injury, and his status on Wednesday's injury report isn't encouraging for his Week 18 status. If he hopes to have a chance to play in Sunday's regular-season finale against Washington, he'll likely need to practice in some capacity Thursday or Friday.

Out for Sunday Johnson (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bears, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Impact Johnson will be sidelined for the second straight game by a hamstring injury. The Giants are significantly short-handed at wide receiver, with Kenny Golladay being the only fully healthy wideout currently on the active roster.

Not at practice Wednesday Johnson (hamstring) didn't participate in Wednesday's practice, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Impact Johnson picked up a hamstring injury late last week and was ultimately ruled out for the Giants' divisional showdown with the Eagles. Now, the 2020 fifth-round pick starts off Week 17 prep as a non-participant due to the same injury, putting his status for Sunday's matchup with the Bears in serious jeopardy.

Won't play Sunday Johnson (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Eagles, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Impact Johnson was absent from the injury report until Friday, so he may have picked up the hamstring injury at practice. He caught one pass for 16 yards last week, which was his first reception since Week 8.

Won't play Sunday Johnson (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's contest against the Chargers, Zack Rosenblatt of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.

Impact With Sterling Shepard (quadriceps) and Kenny Golladay (ribs) both expected to be available, Johnson finds himself as the odd man out. On the season, the 2016 second-round pick has 10 receptions for 89 yards, but he hasn't caught a pass since Week 8.

One catch in Week 7 win Johnson caught one of two targets for seven yards in Sunday's 25-3 win over Carolina.

Impact Even with New York's receiving corps battling injuries, Johnson still finished eighth on the team in receiving yards. He was on the field for 21 of the Giants' 72 offensive snaps, so Johnson was actually given ample opportunities to make his mark on this game but simply failed to do so.

Catches two passes Johnson caught two of five targets for 21 yards Sunday against the Rams.

Impact Injuries to Darius Slayton, Kadarius Toney and Kenny Golladay got Johnson some looks, but he's still a tertiary option in the offense and will barely see the field if/when the starters get healthy.

Catchless in loss Johnson failed to catch any of his three targets in Sunday's 44-20 loss to the Cowboys.

Impact Johnson played on 44 percent of the Giants' offensive snaps, but he was unable to reel in any of the passes that came his way. With fellow wideout Kenny Golladay sidelined with a knee injury, the 24-year-old may find himself in a more prominent role in Week 6, especially if Sterling Shepard and Darius Slayton are unable to return from their hamstring injuries. Johnson and the Giants will host the Rams in Week 6.

Could start this week? Johnson could have a significant role this Sunday with both Sterling Shepard (hamstring) and Darius Slayton (hamstring) ruled out to face the Saints, Dan Duggan of The Athletic rep...

Impact A few weeks back, Johnson was claimed off waivers by a Giants team with three experienced starters plus a rookie first-round pick at his position. Following a pair of healthy scratches, Johnson was active for Week 3 as the No. 5 receiver, ultimately catching five of seven targets for 51 yards after Shepard and Slayton left early. Johnson even led the team's wideouts with an 84.8-percent snap share in the second half, as No. 1 receiver Kenny Golladay was battling through a hip injury. Of course, Golladay seems healthier this week, and the Giants also have John Ross (hamstring) on track to return from injured reserve. It amounts to an unpredictable situation behind Golladay, with each of Johnson, Kadarius Toney, Ross and C.J. Board in the mix for WR snaps.

Good impact Sunday Johnson caught five of seven targets for 51 yards in Sunday's 17-14 loss to the Falcons.

Impact Johnson saw his involved increase after starting wideouts Darius Slayton and Sterling Shepard both suffered hamstring injuries. Their absences enabled Johnson to tie for New York's team lead in targets and trail only Saquon Barkley in receptions. Should Slayton and Shepard be sidelined going forward, the second-year Johnson could see his value benefit from significant playing time opposite fellow big-bodied wideout Kenny Golladay, with rookie first-round playmaker Kadarius Toney a prime candidate to help fill any potential voids as well.

Sidelined Thursday Johnson (coach's decision) is inactive for Thursday's game at Washington, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Impact Johnson was a roster casualty of the Jaguars on cut-down day, but he found a new home in New York one day later. Still, he's only been with the team a little more than two weeks, and the Giants' receiving corps is healthy, so he'll remain in street clothes for a second straight game.

Lands with G-Men The Giants claimed Johnson off waivers from the Jaguars on Wednesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Impact Jacksonville's decision to cut Johnson on Tuesday was a mild surprise after he earned some playing time late in his rookie season. The 2020 fifth-round pick is one of the league's tallest wideouts at 6-foot-6, providing some size for a receiver corps that doesn't have much of it beyond Kenny Golladay. Even so, Johnson will need to impress on the practice field to keep his roster spot, hoping to work his way up the depth chart eventually. The Giants have struggled to keep their wide receivers healthy all summer, but the key guys appear tentatively on track for Week 1.

Let go by Jaguars The Jaguars have waived Johnson.

Impact The move comes as something of a surprise, and it remains to be seen if Johnson is claimed by another team. Following the Jaguars' initial cuts, DJ Chark, Marvin Jones and Laviska Shenault are entrenched as Jacksonville's top three wideouts, and it looks like the team plans to shuffle the deck depth-wise beyond that trio.
