The Facts: Johnson didn’t join his teammates on the field as they kicked off organized team activities on Monday. Johnson will be on the sidelines for a while longer after having arthroscopic surgery on his left knee a couple of weeks ago. Nick Scurfield of the team’s website reports that Johnson hyperextended the knee against the Jaguars late last season and that the operation is “nothing to panic about.”

Diehards Line:Johnson will sit out the rest of the OTA’s while he recovers and the expectation is that he will be ready to go for training camp. There’s no reason to believe that won’t be the case, but as PFT's Josh Alper reminded readers, it’s the third surgery for Johnson in a relatively short period of time. He had ankle surgery before last season and hamstring surgery that contributed to him missing nine games last season. Look for the Texans to take a cautious approach to his return, much like they will with Matt Schaub, who is returning from the surgically-repaired foot that cost him time last year.
