Magpies captain Nick Maxwell said Johnson only had hamstring tightness, and despite the setback should come into contention in a fortnight to return to senior football.
"He'll probably struggle to come up this week given he only played a quarter, but he'll definitely be in the mix for next week, especially given we've got nine days until the next game (against Melbourne)," Maxwell said.
The Magpies play St Kilda in the grand final rematch at the MCG on Saturday night, with both teams having contrasting seasons.
Collingwood has lost just once and sits second on the ladder, while the Saints have struggled badly and look long shots to even make this season's finals.
Ruck-forward Leigh Brown looms as the most likely inclusion after overcoming a calf problem which has sidelined him for the past two matches.
