Saints TE Juwan Johnson (ankle) returned to a limited practice on Thursday. That should have him on track to play vs. the Giants this weekend, but we'll see how Johnson is listed on the final injury report tomorrow.
Saints TE Juwan Johnson is dealing with a groin injury. According to Nick Underhill of New Orleans Football, the 28-year-old avoided anything serious and should only miss a few days.
Update: Johnson was back at practice in pads on Thursday, according to Underhill. Nothing to see here.
NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports that Saints QB Derek Carr has a shoulder injury that might cost him the upcoming season.
Nick Underhill of Saints.football reports that Saints TE Juwan Johnson "suffered a lower leg injury and is expected to miss a good amount of time." We'll watch for more specifics on the injury, but that sounds pretty ominous. Underhill did add that he hasn't heard that Johnson will be sidelined into the regular season.
Update: ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that Johnson will undergo foot surgery. He's expected to be sidelined “a while," Schefter adds, but "the hope and belief for now is that he will be back for the start of the season."
Saints TE Juwan Johnson (chest) returned to a limited practice on Thursday. He should be available for this weekend's game vs. the Falcons, but we'll see how he's listed on the final injury report tomorrow.
Asked whether Taysom Hill will play Sunday against the Panthers, Saints beat writer Nick Underhill said, "I'd be surprised but we'll see." Hill's officially questionable with foot and hand injuries, but you should plan as though he's not playing against Carolina. That can only help TE Juwan Johnson's playing time and the goal-line opportunities for New Orleans RBs. We'll confirm Hill's status Sunday morning.
Saints WR Rashid Shaheed (quad) is "likely" to miss Sunday's game against the Lions, according to insider Nick Underhill. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport adds that Shaheed avoided a major injury, so he can stay stashed on benches in deeper fantasy leagues. WR Chris Olave is also iffy for Week 13 with his concussion, which could leave A.T. Perry, Keith Kirkwood, and Lynn Bowden as New Orleans' top three WRs. We'd expect to see a lot of Alvin Kamara, Taysom Hill, and Juwan Johnson in that case.
Saints TE Juwan Johnson (calf) is not listed on the final Week 8 injury report. He’ll be back for Sunday’s game vs. the Colts after missing the previous four weeks. We’ll see how routes and targets are divvied between Johnson and Taysom Hill, but neither is a reliable Week 8 fantasy play.
Saints HC Dennis Allen said Monday that he expects TE Juwan Johnson (calf) back for this weekend's game vs. the Colts. Johnson has missed the last three games with a calf injury. Taysom Hill has led Saints TEs in routes in all three of those games and racked up 13 targets over the last two. We'll see what the TE room looks like with Johnson back in the mix. His return makes Hill a risky Week 8 fantasy play.
Saints TE Juwan Johnson (calf) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Patriots. TE Foster Moreau (ankle) is off the injury report and will be back after missing the last two games. He’ll join Jimmy Graham in the TE corps. Neither is a viable Week 5 fantasy play.
Saints TE Juwan Johnson (calf) did not practice on Wednesday. He's looking unlikely to play vs. the Patriots on Sunday after injuring that calf early in last week's game. Jimmy Graham wound up leading Saints TEs with a 62% route rate last week, but TE Foster Moreau looks ready to return from his ankle injury after putting in a full practice on Wednesday.
Saints TE Juwan Johnson is questionable to return to Sunday's game vs. the Bucs with a calf injury. We'll update his status when we know more.
Update: Johnson has been ruled out.
Saints WR Chris Olave (hamstring) has been ruled out for Week 16 vs. the Browns. With Olave inactive and WR Jarvis Landry landing on IR due to an ankle injury, not many Saints players warrant fantasy consideration in Saturday's game. TE Juwan Johnson could theoretically see a boost in opportunity. However, the weather in Cleveland is expected to be nasty. RB Alvin Kamara is about the only Saints player fantasy managers can count on in any meaningful way in this contest.
Saints TE Juwan Johnson (ankle) missed his 2nd straight practice on Friday, putting him in danger of missing Monday night’s game vs. the Bucs. We’ll see how he’s listed on the final injury report on Saturday afternoon. Johnson’s absence would leave Adam Trautman as New Orleans’ lead TE and potentially mean a bigger pass-catching role for Taysom Hill.
Saints TE Juwan Johnson missed Thursday's practice with an ankle injury. Perhaps that explains why he played a season-low 47% of the offensive snaps last week. We'll see if Johnson is able to get back on the field tomorrow, ahead of Monday night's game vs. the Bucs.
Saints TE Adam Trautman (ankle) put in a full practice on Saturday and isn't listed on the final injury report. He'll be back for Monday night's game vs. the Ravens after missing the previous 2 weeks. Trautman isn't a fantasy option but does put a slight dent in TE Juwan Johnson's outlook.
