Saints' Juwan Johnson: Active for Week 18
Juwan Johnson (knee) is active for Sunday's Week 18 matchup against the Buccaneers.The veteran tight end practiced in limited fashion throughout the week, but Johnson, who's also played through a foot injury recently, will suit up for Sunday's regular-season finale. Johnson enters the divisional clash against the Buccaneers already sporting a new career high in receptions (44) and is coming off a game in which he produced a season-best 6-66 line on 10 targets against the Raiders in Week 17 while working with rookie quarterback Spencer Rattler, who'll once again be under center Sunday in place of Derek Carr (hand).

Saints' Juwan Johnson: Questionable for Week 18
Juwan Johnson (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at Tampa Bay, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports.Johnson swapped out a lingering foot issue for a knee injury this week, which resulted in limited listings on all three practice reports. His status for Week 18 will be clarified about 90 minutes before Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff, and if he's able to suit up, he likely will continue to split TE reps with Foster Moreau. Since Taysom Hill was lost for the season due to a torn ACL, Johnson has put up a 14-155-1 line on 20 targets over the last four games, while Moreau (11-159-2 line on 14 targets) has nearly matched his output.

Saints' Juwan Johnson: Leading receiver in loss
Juwan Johnson caught six of 10 targets for 66 yards in Sunday's 25-10 loss to the Raiders.He led the New Orleans Saints in receptions, targets and yardage, but it was fellow tight end Foster Moreau who was on the other end of Spencer Rattler's only TD pass of the day. It was the first time all season Johnson has seen double-digit targets, and with New Orleans' wide receiver corps gutted by injuries, the team's TEs figure to be busy again in Week 18 against the Buccaneers.

Saints' Juwan Johnson: Cleared to face Raiders
Juwan Johnson (foot) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Raiders.Johnson upgraded to full practice participation Friday following a pair of capped sessions, which helped him avoid an injury designation. He'll work as a security blanket for rookie quarterback Spencer Rattler, though that hasn't been a fruitful role, as Johnson has posted 50 receiving yards or fewer in every game this season.

Saints' Juwan Johnson: Manages limited practice Thursday
Juwan Johnson (foot) was a limited practice participant Thursday.Johnson had his reps capped for the second day in a row as he continues to work through a foot issue that has resulted in the New Orleans Saints listing him on injury reports for four consecutive weeks. He's managed to play in each of the previous three contests, and assuming he's experiencing no setbacks during his Week 17 prep, he should be ready to play Sunday against the Raiders. Even though he's played at least two-thirds of the offensive snaps in every game since the Saints' Week 12 bye, his fantasy prospects have taken a hit while Derek Carr (hand) has been out of the lineup the past two contests. Carr hasn't been officially ruled out for the Week 17 matchup with the Raiders but doesn't appear to be trending toward playing, likely putting Johnson on track to work with Spencer Rattler as his quarterback for at least one more game.

Saints' Juwan Johnson: Continues to deal with foot issue
Juwan Johnson (foot) was estimated as a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.For the fourth consecutive week, Johnson has been listed with a foot injury on New Orleans' injury report. On the first three occasions, he was able to play through the issue while putting up a combined 8-89-1 receiving line on 10 targets over that span. Assuming his fate is similar this week, Johnson will continue to split reps at tight end with Foster Moreau in New Orleans' offense.

Saints' Juwan Johnson: Ready for Monday
Juwan Johnson (foot) does not carry an injury designation ahead of Monday's contest against the Packers.Johnson practiced in full Saturday clearing the way for the veteran tight end to play Monday. With Chris Olave (concussion) and Bub Means (ankle) out, and Marquez Valdes-Scantling (chest/illness) listed as questionable despite failing to practice all week, Johnson might be the de-facto top target for backup quarterback Spencer Rattler.
