Juwan Johnson - Page 4 - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

OCTOBER 30, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Week 8 Johnson (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Raiders.

Impact Johnson was added to the injury report Thursday and listed as a limited participant the final two days of the week, while fellow tight end Adam Trautman -- also listed as questionable -- managed just one limited practice Friday due to an ankle injury. Trautman was out last week for the Thursday loss to Arizona, in which Johnson caught five passes for 32 yards and two touchdowns. Johnson is the team's top receiving tight end either way, but his projection gets a slight boost if he plays and Trautman doesn't.

OCTOBER 28, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Comes down with hamstring injury Johnson was limited at Thursday's practice due to a hamstring injury.

Impact Johnson avoided the injury report entirely Wednesday, so his inclusion one day later could be indicative of an injury suffered on the practice field. Ultimately, his listing Friday may give a sense of his potential to play Sunday against the Raiders. With Adam Trautman (ankle) unable to practice the last two weeks, Johnson would be in line for top positioning on the TE depth chart if he's able to demonstrate his health in the coming days.

OCTOBER 27, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Pair of touchdown grabs in loss Johnson secured all five targets for 32 yards and two touchdowns in the Saints' 42-34 loss to the Cardinals on Thursday night.

Impact The third-year tight end played a prominent role, particularly on the fourth quarter, when he recorded his first pair of touchdown grabs of the season from 17 and one yard out. Johnson had also played a significant role in Week 6 against the Bengals with a 4-41 line on six targets, and with Michael Thomas (foot), Jarvis Landry (ankle) and Adam Trautman (ankle) all out Thursday night, the Oregon product finished even with Tre'Quan Smith for second in receptions. Johnson could continue to enjoy a solid complementary role moving forward, although the eventual return of Thomas and Landry could particularly eat into his opportunities.

NFL Week 7 top plays: Murray, Cardinals drop Dalton, Saints on TNF

Primed for another big snap count Johnson is expected to serve as the Saints' starting tight end and primary option at the position in Thursday's game against the Cardinals with Adam Trautman (ankle) ruled out for...

Impact Trautman led the position group in snaps from Weeks 3 through 5, but his early exit in last Sunday's loss to the Bengals opened the door for Johnson to clear 70 percent of the offensive snaps for the first time since Week 2. Johnson finished the contest with four receptions for 41 yards on six targets on a 77 percent snap share, and he could see his play count tick up Thursday while Trautman is out for the entirety of the contest. Moreover, the Saints are down two of their top three receivers in Michael Thomas (foot) and Jarvis Landry (ankle), though Chris Olave (concussion) is back in action after a one-game absence. Even so, Johnson could conceivably find himself as the Saints' No. 3 target behind Olave and running back Alvin Kamara, as New Orleans' other pass-catching options at wideout and tight end are mostly underwhelming.

OCTOBER 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Four catches in win Johnson hauled in four of six targets for 41 yards during Sunday's 30-26 defeat against the Bengals.

Impact Johnson recorded a career high in receptions with starting wideouts Michael Thomas (foot), Jarvis Landry (ankle) and Chris Olave (concussion) all sidelined with injuries Week 6. The 6-foot-4 tight end finished third on the team in targets behind running back Alvin Kamara (nine) and wide receiver Marquez Callaway (seven). Johnson also played 56 of New Orleans' 72 offensive snaps compared to just 23 and 16 snaps for fellow tight ends J.P. Holtz and Adam Trautman, respectively. While Olave did clear the protocol for head injuries Monday, Johnson could see yet another prominent target share if Thomas and/or Landry remain out Thursday against the Cardinals. Also, fellow tight end Trautman is dealing with an ankle injury.

OCTOBER 18, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Nabs one catch in win Johnson caught one of his two targets for 13 yards over 44 offensive snaps in Saturday's 39-32 victory versus the Seahawks.

Impact Johnson served as the Saints' No. 2 tight end for the second week in a row behind Adam Trautman, who caught two of his three targets for 32 yards and a touchdown over 50 (of 77) offensive snaps Sunday. As a result, the backup played a season-high 19 special-teams snaps. Johnson was also flagged for a false start midway through the fourth quarter, thus pushing New Orleans into a 4th-and-7 before punting from Seattle's 47-yard line. Nevertheless, he should continue to see significant playing time, as the Saints will likely lean into the running game with starting wideouts Michael Thomas (foot), Jarvis Landry (ankle) and Chris Olave (concussion) all banged up.

OCTOBER 11, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Fall back into No. 2 role Johnson recorded three receptions (on four targets) for 33 yards during Sunday's 28-25 loss to the Vikings.

Impact Johnson played a season-low 29 (of 60) offensive snaps behind Adam Trautman (39), who recorded three receptions for 37 yards as the Saints' starting tight end Sunday. The 6-foot-4 Johnson still received one more target from starting quarterback Andy Dalton compared to Trautman, and the two tight ends registered their largest combined receiving effort of the season with starting wideout Michael Thomas (foot) out Week 4. Johnson now has recorded at least two catches and four targets in all but one game through four weeks, but he has yet to bring in a receiving touchdown this season.
