The Facts: Following up on a previous item. ... The Texans started organized team activities (OTAs) on Monday without Johnson. Afterward, Johnson and HC Gary Kubiak revealed that Johnson had arthroscopic surgery on his left knee two weeks ago. Johnson said he has "no doubt" he will be ready for training camp in late July.
Diehards Line:"I feel like maybe in three, four more weeks, I'll be probably ready to go," Johnson said. "It's just a process. I'm not having any issues from the other injuries I had with my hamstrings and stuff like that. I've just been staying on top of things so I won't have to experience those injuries (again). It's nothing to panic about. This is my 10th season. I've been through OTAs several times, so I don't really feel like I'm missing anything right now." Johnson said he hyperextended his knee last season at Jacksonville in Week 12. Johnson, who missed nine games with hamstring injuries last season, has dealt with injuries in both of the past two seasons. After leading the league in receiving yards in 2008 and 2009, he missed three games with a high-ankle sprain in 2010. He injured his right hamstring last season in Week 4, and then injured his left hamstring in his second game back in Week 13. "The past two seasons have been pretty rough for me just battling with the different injuries," he admitted. "I just don't want to be back in that situation again where I have to miss 7, 8, 9 games. I want to get back to that 1,500-yard Andre. Hopefully, that can happen this year. ..." It's safe to assume we'll have a close eye on this one between now and camp.
