Giants' Theo Johnson: Undergoes surgery
New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll said that Theo Johnson (foot) underwent surgery Tuesday to address a Lisfranc injury, Patricia Traina of SI.com reports.New York placed Johnson on injured reserve Monday, but the extent of his foot injury wasn't known. With surgery deemed necessary, Johnson can officially be ruled out for the rest of the season, but the 23-year-old could be ready to go for the start of the Giants' offseason program in the spring. After Darren Waller retired over the summer, the rookie fourth-round selection took over as the Giants' No. 1 tight end and finished his season with 29 catches on 43 targets for 331 yards and one touchdown.

Giants' Theo Johnson: Sent to injured reserve
The New York Giants placed Theo Johnson (foot) on injured reserve Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.Johnson won't be eligible to return until the Week 18 regular-season finale, so it's fair to assume his rookie season is likely over after coach Brian Daboll hinted that was the case following the team's Thanksgiving Day loss to the Cowboys. In Johnson's absence, New York will roll with Daniel Bellinger, blocker Chris Manhertz and waiver-wire pickup Greg Dulcich at tight end.

Giants' Theo Johnson: Potential season-ending injury
Theo Johnson may miss the rest of the season after injuring his foot during Thursday's loss at Dallas, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports.Coach Brian Daboll informed reporters Friday morning, after Johnson took 89 percent of snaps and caught each of his five targets for a career-high 54 yards during a 27-20 loss to Dallas on Thursday. It was his fifth straight game with at least four targets, three catches and 35 receiving yards, making the rookie fourth-round pick one of the few positives for the New York offense recently. The New York Giants will be left with Daniel Bellinger, Chris Manhertz and recent addition Greg Dulcich as their tight ends if/when Johnson's rookie season is confirmed to be ending early.

Giants' Theo Johnson: Gathers in all five targets Thursday
Theo Johnson reeled in all five of his targets for 54 yards during Thursday's 27-20 loss in Dallas.For a third consecutive week of game prep, Johnson endured practice limitations due to a back injury, but he continues to suit up and handle a consistent role in the New York Giants' passing game, despite different signal-callers directing the offense. Drew Lock got the call in place of Tommy DeVito (forearm) this week, and while the former didn't look his way until the 4:23 mark of the third quarter, Johnson finished second on the team in catches and receiving yards (both behind rookie Malik Nabers) and third in targets (behind Nabers and Darius Slayton). Johnson's next opportunity to produce is Sunday, Dec. 8 versus the Saints, but who will be under center remains to be seen.

Giants' Theo Johnson: Remains limited Tuesday
Theo Johnson (back) was a limited participant in Tuesday's walk-through practice, Dan Salomone of the New York Giants' official site reports.With Johnson having been estimated as a limited participant on both of the Giants' first two Week 13 injury reports, he'll have one more chance to potentially upgrade to full activity before Thursday's game against the Cowboys. The rookie tight end has taken on a greater role in the New York passing attack in recent weeks, drawing exactly six targets in each of the Giants' last three games regardless of whether Daniel Jones or Tommy DeVito was under center.

Giants' Theo Johnson: Estimated as limited Monday
Theo Johnson (back) was estimated as a limited participant in Monday's walkthrough, Ralph Vacchiano of Fox Sports reports.Johnson has been battling the back issue for a couple weeks, but he's continued to play through it.

Giants' Theo Johnson: Works well with DeVito
Theo Johnson secured three of six targets for 39 yards in the New York Giants' 30-7 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday.Johnson finished second in targets and third in receiving yards on the afternoon in the first game of Tommy DeVito's current starting stint. The fact the rookie tight end displayed quick chemistry with his new signal-caller allowed Johnson to extend a recent stretch of modestly encouraging play, one that's seen him record at least three catches in four consecutive games. Johnson could continue working as a dependable tertiary option for DeVito in a Week 13 road matchup against the Cowboys on Thanksgiving Day.

Giants' Theo Johnson: Practices fully Thursday
Theo Johnson (back) practiced in full Thursday, Dan Salomone of the New York Giants' official site reports.Johnson logged his first uncapped session since Week 9 prep as he tended to a back injury, but he still suited up in New York's last game Week 10 against the Panthers in Munich, Germany, gathering in four of six targets for 37 yards. The team may be welcoming back WR Darius Slayton (concussion) to the lineup Sunday versus the Buccaneers, which likely would move Johnson down the pecking order among Giants pass catchers.

Giants' Theo Johnson: Still dealing with back issue
Theo Johnson was a limited participant at practice Wednesday due to a back injury, Dan Salomone of the New York Giants' official site reports.On the heels of New York's Week 11 bye, Johnson is still dealing with the back issue that capped his practice reps prior to the team's last game against the Panthers in Munich on Nov. 10. He managed to play 69 of 75 offensive snaps (92 percent) in that contest en route to hauling in four of six targets for 37 yards. Considering the health concern is persisting, Johnson's status will be monitored as the week continues to get a sense of his potential to play Sunday versus the Buccaneers.
