Theo Johnson

Johnson played through back and knee issues in Week 10 before the Giants' bye. The team removed the knee injury from his practice report this time around. His limited status is just maintenance as we get deeper into the season. Coming off a six-target game that saw him catch four passes for 37 yards, Johnson is a low-end TE2 for Week 12.

Johnson has at least three catches for 30 yards in five consecutive games. It might not sound like much, but that's enough of a floor to keep him comfortably inside the TE2 ranks going forward. He will return from the Giants' Week 11 bye to face the pass-funnel Bucs.

The Giants kept Johnson's practice reps light this week with three limited sessions. After being removed from the injujry report entirely, it's safe to say he is good to go for his Germany roadtrip to face the Panthers. Coming off a career-high 51 receiving yards on grabs, Johnson has worked his way into a TE2 ranking for Week 10.

Johnson has been limited in each of the Giants' two practices to start the week. The rookie tight end is coming off his best game as a pro, catching four passes for 51 yards and a touchdown in Week 9 against the Commanders. We'll see what the final injury report says on Friday, but for now, it sounds like Johnson will suit up for Week 10's game against the Panthers. He'll be a boom-or-bust TE2 if active.

Johnson has quietly seen an uptick in his usage, catching at least three balls in four of his past five games. He is coming off a career-high in receiving yards at 51 and his first touchdown. His limited designation is likely maintenance as the Giants prepare to take on Carolina in Germany. Johnson has worked his way into the TE2 ranks for Week 10.
