The New Orleans Saints have been hit hard by injuries at the tight end position with both Adam Trautman and Nick Vannett getting banged up on Monday. While this could be catastrophic for the Saints, they do have an intriguing option on the depth chart by the name of Juwan Johnson.
Johnson has an interesting storyline, as he previously played wide receiver before transitioning to tight end this offseason. It’s a move that could save the Saints’ season at the position, as Vannett is going to miss 2-4 weeks, opening up the backup tight end job.
