Giants TE Johnson (illness) attends Knicks game but out for finale
Open Extended Reactions
New York Giants starting tight end Theo Johnson, who attended a Knicks game Friday night at Madison Square Garden despite not practicing all week with a noncontagious illness, will not play in Sunday's season finale against the Dallas Cowboys.
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."
