Giants' Theo Johnson: Full practice Wednesday
Johnson (shoulder) was a full practice participant Wednesday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Johnson is coming off a 2025 regular season in which he posted a 45-528-5 line on 74 targets in 15 games, but the arrival of TE Isaiah Likely via free agency has provided the former with some competition at the position ahead of his third pro campaign. With the shoulder injury he picked up in an Aug. 24 practice behind Johnson, he'll focus on being a regular part of the Giants offense in Sunday's Week 1 matchup with the Cowboys.

Giants' Theo Johnson: Donning non-contact jersey at practice
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 issue, 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.

Giants' Theo Johnson: One catch in preseason Week 2
Johnson caught his only target for 12 yards in Saturday's 26-3 preseason win over the Dolphins.
Johnson is expected to work as the Giants' No. 2 TE in 2026 behind offseason addition Isaiah Likely, who previously played under new Giants head coach John Harbaugh in Baltimore. As the team's top option at the position in 2025, Johnson caught 45 of 74 targets for 528 yards and five TDs. Likely's career high in any regular season is only 477 receiving yards, though he was stuck behind Mark Andrews during his stint with the Ravens.

Giants' Theo Johnson: Joined by Likely
Johnson (illness) faces added target competition after the Giants signed Isaiah Likely to a three-year, $40 million contract Monday, Albert Breer of SI.com reports.
Johnson, a 2024 fourth-round pick, emerged as New York's clear top tight end in 2025 while securing 45 of 74 targets for 528 and five touchdowns across 15 regular-season appearances, but Likely's contract and familiarity with new head coach John Harbaugh make him the favorite to lead the position in pass-catching reps. That said, Johnson figures to remain in a significant role on offense and the Giants made it a priority to re-sign blocking specialist Chris Manhertz prior to the start of free agency. It won't be surprising if New York deploys a heavy rotation at right end during the 2026 season. Johnson missed the final two games of 2025 due to an illness but should be fully healthy to begin offseason activities.

Giants' Theo Johnson: Out again
Johnson (illness) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Dallas, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
Johnson didn't practice this week and will now miss a second straight game to close out his second pro season. He played in each of the first 15 games, catching 45 of 74 targets for 528 yards and five touchdowns. Johnson probably did enough to keep his starting job in 2026, but things can always change if the Giants fall in love with a free agent or draft pick.
