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.

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.

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.
