Johnson hauled in two of three targets for 22 yards during Sunday's 20-17 victory versus the Falcons. Johnson logged three or fewer catches for the fifth week in a row. It seemed like the 6-foot-4 tight end could've had a bigger target share with wideouts Chris Olave (concussion), Rashid Shaheed (knee) and Bub Means (ankle) now all on IR. Instead, running back Alvin Kamara led the team with six targets while newly acquired wideout Marquez Valdes-Scantling exploded for a team-high 109 receiving yards. Johnson has now recorded 22 catches for 247 yards and one touchdown through 10 games, which is a far cry from his stat line over 13 games last season when he logged 37-368-4 across 13 appearances. He'll hope to see more targets during next week's home game versus the Browns on Sunday, Nov. 17.

Johnson brought in both targets for 41 yards in the Saints' 23-22 loss to the Panthers on Sunday. Johnson's receiving yardage total was enough to tie him for second on the afternoon with Taysom Hill. Johnson saw a four-game streak of at least three receptions snapped with Sunday's stat line, but on the bright side, he's now cleared 40 receiving yards in three of the past four games. However, the fifth-year pro heads into a Week 10 home matchup against the Falcons still seeking his first touchdown since Week 1.

Johnson (shoulder) practiced in full Thursday, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports. Stretching back to last week, Johnson was listed as limited on four consecutive practice reports due to a shoulder issue before Thursday's uncapped session. With his health cleared up ahead of the weekend, Johnson will continue on as the Saints' top TE, which could be a boon for him with Derek Carr (oblique) expected to return to action Sunday at Carolina.

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.

Saints head coach Dennis Allen said Monday that Johnson is fully cleared after having been evaluated for a concussion during Sunday's loss to the Chargers, Ross Jackson of WWL Louisiana reports. Johnson was evaluated late during New Orleans' Week 8 loss, but he's good to go for Sunday's road matchup against Carolina. Prior to being forced out versus the Chargers, Johnson had secured three of four targets for 48 yards. With quarterback Derek Carr (oblique) trending in the right direction to return Week 9, Johnson and the Saints' passing game as a whole could be positioned to benefit.
