Johnson was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice due to a shoulder injury, John Hendrix of SI.com reports.
For a second week in a row, Johnson is tending to a shoulder concern, but on a positive note, the Saints didn't include any mention of the head injury that he was evaluated for during this past Sunday's 26-8 loss to the Chargers. He'll thus aim to return to full participation Thursday and/or Friday and sidestep a designation ahead of Sunday's game at Carolina.
