The Facts:
Johnson picked up the new playbook about as fast as he runs on the field. “I took the playbook home Friday and I pretty much know the whole thing,” he said Monday. “The offense really is not too different. There are a couple of different wrinkles in it, but I pretty much know the whole thing.”

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Johnson began practicing with the Titans on Saturday after signing his four-year, $53.5 million extension on Friday. They practiced again on Monday. He said he’s also spent time with new OC Chris Palmer. Johnson had been working out in Orlando with a personal trainer, but knows that’s not the same as participating in a real practice with real NFL players. “It is different,” he said. “You can be in shape and run all day, but it is nothing like coming out and putting on pads and putting on a helmet and stopping and starting and cuts and taking hits and things like that. You can’t do anything to simulate taking hits ...” HC Mike Munchak said he would have to be smart about how Johnson is used against the Jaguars on Sunday. Javon Ringer and Jamie Harper are expected to get reps along with Johnson.
