Saints' Juwan Johnson: Zero targets in blowout win
Johnson had zero targets during Sunday's 44-19 win versus the Cowboys.
Johnson was not listed as New Orleans' starting tight end for the second game in a row. Instead, Foster Moreau got the start once again despite coming back from a concussion sustained in last week's win over Carolina. Neither tight end logged any targets Sunday, as quarterback Derek Carr attempted just 16 passes while throwing for 243 yards and two touchdowns to one interception. Meanwhile, Taysom Hill logged one target and three carries before exiting with a chest issue that required further evaluation at a hospital postgame. Through two games, Johnson and Moreau have now logged three and four targets, respectively. While it's too soon to make any definitive projections, it appears that tight end may not be a position that's highlighted in the offense of new coordinator Klint Kubiak. It will be worth monitoring if either Johnson or Moreau see more targets during next Sunday's home game against the Eagles.

Saints' Juwan Johnson: Makes toe-tap TD grab Sunday
Johnson gathered two of three targets for 26 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's 47-10 victory versus the Panthers.
Johnson had one of the standout plays of the game when he made a toe-tapping 16-yard touchdown catch in the right corner of the end zone. The 6-foot-4 pass catcher actually wound up with fewer targets and receptions than fellow tight end Foster Moreau, who caught all four of his targets for 43 yards and a touchdown before exiting with a head injury. Johnson totaled 34 more targets despite playing two fewer games than Moreau last season, and the former was assumed to be the TE1 heading into the season opener. Meanwhile, versatile tight end/quarterback Taysom Hill worked more as a rushing threat out of the backfield Sunday, logging five carries and two targets. Moreau's status is also now up in the air for next Sunday's road game versus Dallas. When he is healthy again, it will be worth monitoring how Moreau, Johnson and Hill are deployed under new offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak moving forward.

Saints' Juwan Johnson: Returns to in-game action
Johnson failed to haul in his lone target during Sunday's 30-27 preseason loss to the Titans.
Johnson did not see extensive playing time Sunday, as he was one of the surefire starters that suited up for the Saints. His return to the playing field was ultimately the most important thing for Johnson after being sidelined for the first two exhibitions while recovering from offseason surgery. Johnson caught 37 of 59 targets for 368 yards across 13 regular-season appearances last year. He'll look to hit the ground running Week 1 against the Panthers.

Saints' Juwan Johnson: Playing in preseason finale
Johnson will play in the Saints' preseason contest against Tennessee on Sunday, Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reports.
Johnson began training camp on the active/PUP list while continuing to recover from the foot surgery he underwent in June. The tight end was able to return to team drills Thursday and will be able to get in some game reps during New Orleans' final exhibition Sunday. Johnson likely won't log extensive playing time in this matchup, but the snaps should help him prepare for the regular season, as he's slated to be the team's No. 1 tight end under new offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak.

Saints' Juwan Johnson: Returns to team drills
Johnson (foot) participated in team drills during Thursday's practice session, Matthew Paras of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
Johnson was activated from the active/PUP list Tuesday, and he returned to team drills Thursday for the first time since his mid-June foot surgery. It's unclear whether he'll be available for Sunday's preseason finale against Tennessee, but it seems as though he's on track to be available for the Saints' regular-season opener against the Panthers on Sept. 8.

Saints' Juwan Johnson: Brought off PUP list
The Saints activated Johnson (foot) from the active/PUP list Tuesday, Matthew Paras of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
Johnson has passed his physical and is expected to practice in some capacity Tuesday, per Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football. The veteran tight end has missed all of training camp to this point while recovering from mid-June foot surgery. Johnson likely isn't a candidate to get healthy in time for Sunday's preseason finale against the Titans, but he now has just under three weeks left to resume practicing in full ahead of New Orleans' regular-season opener against the Panthers on Sunday, Sept 8.

Saints' Juwan Johnson: Spotted running
Johnson (foot) ran on a side field at Wednesday's practice, Jeff Nowak of The Big 870 New Orleans reports.
While it's still unclear whether Johnson will be ready to play by Week 1, his quick return to physical activity after mid-June surgery at least suggests his foot injury was relatively minor and not something more serious like a Jones fracture.

Saints' Juwan Johnson: Shows progress with side work
Johnson (knee) jogged and worked off to the side during Monday's practice, John Hendrix of SI.com reports.
Johnson was first spotted at training camp Friday, and while he hasn't progressed to sprinting or anything along those lines, his presence on the field less than a month and a half after foot surgery suggests the rehab process is going well. He seemingly suffered the injury during June minicamp, with reports at the time calling the tight end uncertain for Week 1. That's probably still accurate, as he remains on the active/PUP list with six weeks to go until the Saints' season opener against Carolina on Sunday, Sept. 8.
