Saints tight end Juwan Johnson is dealing with a leg injury.
Johnson suffered a leg injury and will miss”a good time“, according to Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football. The nature of the injury and Johnson’s status when the regular season begins in three months is unclear.
Last year, Johnson was the Saints’ best tight end, finishing the season with 37 receptions for 368 yards and four touchdowns. It would be a major concern if he missed regular season games.
News of Johnson’s injury came just hours after tight end Jimmy Graham said he would be open to return to Santos this season. Graham is currently a free agent, but could be an option for the Saints if they need another tight end with Johnson injured.
Foster Moreau would be the best tight end on the Saints depth chart while Johnson is out.
