The New Orleans Saints got some tough news on Wednesday evening. They lost a starter for their offense for a significant amount of time due to injury.
Saints TE Juwan Johnson suffered a serious lower leg injury
Nick Underhill was the first on the Johnson report. He notes that Johnson will miss "a good amount of time."
Adam Schefter announced that Johnson will undergo foot surgery next week.
As he noted, the Saints hope that he will return by the start of the season. While this is a setback for their offense, the timing is a plus. If his recovery goes well, he will be ready by Week 1. The Saints are a better offense when they have more depth at tight end. Johnson has been their starter over the past couple of seasons and flashed impressive traits.
Take a look at the rest of the Saints depth chart below
- Foster Moreau
- Taysom Hill (UTILITY)
- Dallin Holker
- Michael Jacobson
- Tommy Hudson
The Saints also worked out UFL star TE Sal Cannella on Thursday. With the news of Johnson, they may be more inclined to add him as more competition for snaps.
We will see if New Orleans add at least one more TE before training camp.
