The Giants placed Johnson (knee) on injured reserve Saturday. Johnson sustained a knee injury during last week's loss to the Ravens, and he did not practice before being ruled out ahead of this Sunday's game against the Falcons. The fourth-year linebacker totaled four tackles while serving as a core special-teamer in 12 games with the Giants.
Johnson (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Falcons, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports. Johnson's absence in Week 16 comes as no surprise, as the Tulane product was unable to practice all week due to a knee injury. Tomon Fox could see increased snaps as one of the Giants' key special-teamers with Johnson sidelined Sunday.
Johnson exited Sunday's game against the Ravens due to a knee injury, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports. Johnson picked up a knee injury at some point during the first half. The 25-year-old has been a regular contributor on special teams while playing sparingly on defense for the Giants this season, totaling four tackles across 11 appearances.
Johnson was claimed off waivers from the Eagles on Tuesday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports. Johnson was in the midst of his fourth season with the Eagles, primarily working as a contributor on special teams. It's likely the Giants brought him on board to handle a similar role while providing depth in their linebacker corps.
