Saints tight end Juwan Johnson is currently out of action due to a leg injury. The extent of the injury is unknown, but it is serious enough to keep him out of action for a considerable period. It remains unclear if he will be ready to play when the regular season begins in three months.
Last season, Johnson was a vital player for the Saints at the tight end position, recording 37 catches for 368 yards and four touchdowns. His absence would be a significant loss for the team if he is unable to play during regular season games.
The injury has sparked speculation about the Saints potentially bringing back former tight end Jimmy Graham. Graham, who is currently a free agent, has expressed interest in returning to New Orleans. He could provide valuable depth at the tight end position while Johnson recovers.
With Johnson out, Foster Moreau is expected to step into the top tight end role on the Saints’ depth chart. Moreau will likely see increased playing time and responsibility in Johnson’s absence. The team will have to adjust its game plan and find ways to compensate for Johnson’s absence on the field.
