The Facts:
As expected, Johnson was on the practice field with his teammates Thursday. Saying his absence from the team's first three voluntary practices over a contract dispute was "out of character", Johnson said that he was eager to rejoin his teammates. "My big thing is I just want to be out there with my teammates and help us accomplish our goals," Johnson told KRIV-TV in Houston. "Me sitting out is not going to help, so I chose to come back."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
In case you missed it, Johnson has five years left on an eight-year contract worth $60 million that included $15 million in guarantees. He is considered one of the top receivers in the NFL, but his contract doesn't place him among the highest-paid players at his position with Larry Fitzgerald and Brandon Marshall earning significantly more. Johnson, the third overall pick in 2003, is entering his eighth season. He has led the league in receiving in each of the last two seasons.
