The 24-year-old WR suffered the injury while taking a rep with the first team at practice. The injury looked serious, according to reporters on the scene. Collin Johnson is a third-year player out of Texas. He was roped in by the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2020. He then chaged base to New York in 2021. 

“I learned a lot,” Johnson told reporters last week.

“Not everything goes your way. But at the end of the day, I feel like a lot of people try to put periods in your life when it’s supposed to be a comma. So when I got cut from the Jags, I never had like a Woe Is Me mentality, it was just a comma in my life, and there’s a lot more that’s being written now. I feel like I’m just getting started and gonna continue to work hard.” 

A fifth round pick in 2020, Johnson joined the Giants as a waiver claim last September. He had 11 catches for 105 yards in 12 games this season and caught two passes from Daniel Jones early in the team’s last preseason game.

In the opener against New England, Johnson led with seven passes for a team-high 82 yards. He followed that up with a three-catch performance against the Bengals on Sunday. So far this preseason, Johnson has caught roughly 77% of his targets and averaged 12.3 yards per catch.

“The guys that have been out there and producing, Collin Johnson, David Sills, they’ve stepped their game up,” coach Daboll told reporters Monday.

“And they’re right in the mix, not just to make a team but to play. So again, like I said, everybody’s got to earn their job, earn their role, do a good job of the things they need to do, and make the most of their opportunities when they get them.”
