The Facts:
Thursday was supposed to be the day the public saw Johnson running in a Chiefs uniform for the first time this year. But as things tend to go with Johnson, the plan didn't exactly work out. Instead of taking the field, the star running back stood on the sideline of the Chiefs' practice facility and watched as Kolby Smith took snaps with the first team.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
HC Herm Edwards said Johnson, who missed the second half of last season because of a broken foot, is healthy and practiced in the first three off-season workouts this week. But because rain forced the Chiefs to practice indoors Thursday, Johnson was held out because Edwards didn't want him to run on artificial turf. "I took him out," Edwards said. "He's fine. ..." No reason to believe otherwise. Indeed, those those close to Johnson say his foot has healed and he appeared this week to have returned to form.
