Juwan Johnson Absent Again Tuesday
Juwan Johnson Absent Again Tuesday
one year ago
New Orleans Saints tight end Juwan Johnson (calf) wasn't seen during the team's light walkthrough practice session on Tuesday. Johnson hasn't practiced or played since injuring his calf in pre-game warmups before the Week 4 contest, so it's highly unlikely that he'll make his return on a short week this Thursday night against the visiting Jacksonville Jaguars. The 27-year-old belongs on the waiver wire in the vast majority of redraft fantasy leagues. In three games played this year, Johnson has caught only seven passes for 61 yards and no touchdowns. Taysom Hill, Foster Moreau and veteran Jimmy Graham should continue to split tight end work for the Saints with Johnson sidelined, but none of the trio are great options for fantasy lineups. Look elsewhere.
