Juwan Johnson Limited With Neck Injury on Wednesday
Juwan Johnson (neck) is dealing with a neck injury and was listed as limited in the first practice of the week on Wednesday, according to Luke Johnson of the New Orleans Times-Picayune. Johnson apparently tweaked his neck in last Sunday's 26-14 loss to the Chicago Bears after catching five of his seven targets for 79 yards while playing 71% of the offensive snaps. The 29-year-old didn't show any sign of injury during the Week 7 contest, and the fact that he was limited on Wednesday should mean that he'll be able to play in Week 8 against the division-rival Tampa Bay Buccaneers. It was nice to see Johnson produce last week after he had a combined seven catches on nine targets for only 60 yards and no touchdowns in the three previous games in Weeks 4-6. The Saints are likely to be in positive game script more often than not, but Johnson profiles as a boom/bust, touchdown-dependent TE2 in fantasy now that Taysom Hill is back in the fold.
