"The second-year tight end was shown on the scoreboard sitting courtside during the game, smiling and waving to the camera. He later reposted a picture taken and posted on social media by a New York Post reporter and responded, "I am not sick." The Giants said that Johnson is dealing with a non-contagious infection, not the flu or COVID, where being around other people would not be a risk."
""So he's just got still this little bit of a sickness and this infection that we're just working through," interim coach Mike Kafka said on Thursday. "So he's just kind of trying to clean it up. See where it goes." Johnson returned to the Giants (3-13) facility this week after missing last week's win over the Las Vegas Raiders. He's one of several players and coaches who have been dealing with illness this week. Hyatt is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Cowboys."
Theo Johnson, the New York Giants' starting tight end, will not play in Sunday's season finale against the Dallas Cowboys because of a non-contagious infection. Johnson missed practice all week and returned to the team facility after sitting out the previous game. He was seen courtside at a Knicks game and posted "I am not sick" on social media. Interim coach Mike Kafka said Johnson is trying to "clean it up" and the team is managing the infection. Several other Giants missed practice with illnesses; Jalin Hyatt is questionable. Johnson has 45 catches for 548 yards and five touchdowns this season.
