Johnson will play in the Saints' preseason contest against Tennessee on Sunday, Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reports.

Johnson began training camp on the active/PUP list while continuing to recover from the foot surgery he underwent in June. The tight end was able to return to team drills Thursday and will be able to get in some game reps during New Orleans' final exhibition Sunday. Johnson likely won't log extensive playing time in this matchup, but the snaps should help him prepare for the regular season, as he's slated to be the team's No. 1 tight end under new offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak.
