Johnson (neck) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Saints.
A neck injury limited Johnson's practice participation Wednesday and Thursday, but he was a DNP for Friday's session before being subsequently ruled out for Sunday's contest. In his absence, Chris Manhertz and Thomas Fidone are candidates to step into the TE2 role behind Isaiah Likely. Johnson's next chance to play is Week 7 against the Texans on Sunday, Oct. 25.

Johnson (shoulder) is participating in Monday's practice in a non-contact jersey, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports.
Johnson was injured in practice last Monday and continues to deal with the injury, though his return to action would suggest the tight end is on track to play Week 1 against the Cowboys. Johnson figures to work mostly as a blocker this season after the Giants signed Isaiah Likely to a contract over the offseason.
Johnson, who finished the 2024 season on injured reserve due to a foot injury, believes he is ready to break out during the 2025 campaign, Bobby Kownack of NFL.com reports.
Johnson had a relatively quiet first four games of his NFL career before going on an encouraging run from Weeks 5-13, an eight-game span where he recorded 26 receptions for 294 yards and a touchdown on 35 targets. With the foot issue now fully resolved, Johnson recently confirmed he's very excited about being healthy and having a much better grasp of what it means to be an NFL player going into his second season, adding that he's also looking forward to be much more involved in the offense as a pass catcher.
