The New Orleans Saints are receiving offensive reinforcements in Week 8, according to head coach Dennis Allen.
Veteran tight end Juwan Johnson is expected to be available against the Indianapolis Colts.
Johnson has missed the past three games with a calf injury.
The tight end had his best season of his career last season and was expected to be an important piece on offense this year. Hopefully, we will see more of him in the coming weeks than we did to start the year. Johnson totaled just 9 catches in the first four games of the year.
Johnson is certainly the most talented overall receiving threat at the position for New Orleans. As a former wide receiver, he has impressive balls skills and explosiveness at the position. Useful red zone target, too.
He and Derek Carr created a great relationship in the offseason.
It will be intriguing to see his involvement going forward in the offense.
