Johnson (illness) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Dallas, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson didn't practice this week and will now miss a second straight game to close out his second pro season. He played in each of the first 15 games, catching 45 of 74 targets for 528 yards and five touchdowns. Johnson probably did enough to keep his starting job in 2026, but things can always change if the Giants fall in love with a free agent or draft pick.

Johnson (illness) will not practice Thursday, Evan Barnes of Newsday reports.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson missed Week 17 due to illness and has since sat out back-to-back contests, making his status for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Cowboys legitimately uncertain. He will have one more opportunity to get back on the practice field Friday.

Johnson (illness) is not participating in Wednesday's practice, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson missed New York's win over the Raiders in Week 17 due to an illness that continues to prevent him from taking part in practice. He'll have two more opportunities to resume practicing in at least a limited capacity ahead of the Giants' regular-season finale against the Cowboys on Sunday. If Johnson can't gain clearance to play Week 18, expect Daniel Bellinger and Chris Manhertz to again lead New York's tight end position.

Johnson (illness) won't travel with the Giants for Sunday's game against the Raiders, Dan Salomone of the team's official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
With Johnson having been downgraded to out for the contest, Daniel Bellinger and Chris Manhertz are slated to lead the Giants' Week 17 tight end corps. Johnson's next chance to see game action will arrive in Week 18, when New York faces Dallas at home.

Johnson didn't catch either of his two targets in Sunday's 16-13 loss to the Vikings.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson was a non-factor as Jaxson Dart threw for just 33 yards. Prior to Sunday's goose egg, Johnson had caught at least three passes in eight consecutive games. Johnson will likely be more involved if the Giants turn to a more balanced approach in Week 17 against the Raiders after this run-heavy loss.

Johnson caught three of four targets for 72 yards in Sunday's 29-21 loss to the Commanders.
EDGE Analysis
The second-year tight end led the Giants in receiving yards on the day, as he topped 70 yards for the third time in the last five games. Johnson is quietly having a breakout campaign despite the struggles of the rest of the team, putting together a 45-528-5 line on 72 targets through 14 contests. He'll look to keep rolling in a Week 16 clash with the Vikings.

Johnson (toe) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against Washington, Matt Citak of the Giants' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson upgraded to full practice Friday after limited sessions the previous two days. He should be ready for his usual near-every-down role, against a Washington defense that's allowing a league-high 8.7 yards per pass attempt.

Johnson (toe) practiced in a limited fashion Thursday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
This marks Johnson's second capped session to begin Week 15 prep due to a toe injury, giving him just one more opportunity to get back to full Friday, or else he'll be at risk of heading into the weekend with a designation for Sunday's game against the Commanders. With rookie QB Jaxson Dart back under center in the Giants' last game Week 13 at New England, Johnson hauled in three of eight targets for 29 yards, which was his seventh outing in 13 appearances this season with fewer than 30 receiving yards.

Johnson was limited at Wednesday's practice due to a toe injury, Matt Citak of the Giants' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
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.

Johnson had three receptions on eight targets for 29 yards in Monday's 33-15 loss to the Patriots.
EDGE Analysis
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.
