The New York Giants lost multiple wide receivers to injury in 2022, including Collin Johnson, who tore his Achilles in training camp.
The 6-foot-6 Johnson had played well for the Giants in spot moments after coming over from the Jacksonville Jaguars, and was poised to take on a larger role this past season. But that obviously did not happen.
With a year remaining on his contract, the Giants will likely give Johnson another look in 2023. And by all accounts, his recovery is going well and he should be ready to take the field again this summer.
Giants WR Collin Johnson, who tore his right Achilles late in a standout 2022 training camp, told me he is already running on turf and excited about returning even stronger for 2023. Rehab continues, but encouraging progress.

Johnson was originally a fifth-round pick of the Jaguars in the 2020 NFL draft. The Giants claimed him off of waivers on September 1, 2021.
In 26 career games (one start), Johnson has hauled in 29 receptions for 377 yards and two touchdowns.
