Johnson (quadricep) is expected to play in Sunday's game against Carolina, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Johnson was limited to a trio of limited practices this week due to a quad issue, but he looks like he'll be cleared to play upon the release of the Saints' inactive list, which will come out approximately 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff. Meanwhile, the versatile Taysom Hill (foot/hand) is listed as questionable but trending toward sitting out the Week 14 contest, and with Michael Thomas (knee) on injured reserve and Rashid Shaheed (thigh) also likely to sit out, Johnson could see an expanded profile in the passing attack. Johnson hasn't been much of a contributor when healthy this season, surpassing 40 receiving yards just once over his eight games.
