The Facts:
Contacted by Bengals.com the day after he had arthroscopic surgery to remove "loose bodies" in his right ankle, Johnson said he plans to be ready to run the second week of July with fellow Bengals receivers at a Los Angeles passing camp in which Carson Palmer is slated to be one of the throwers.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
With his trade calls unheeded and his ankle gimpy, Johnson sounds like he's immersing himself in football again after a season he broke his own franchise record for receiving yards with 1,440 -- in a year he says he was "horrible." Johnson also apologized for his off-season long effort to force a trade. "I did everything under the sun to get out of here. I acted psycho. I posed my case. I talked with my owner, who loves me dearly. He must. Those offers were unheard of. And he still said no. ..." In other words, we are witnessing the transformation from "Ocho Stinko" back to "85." And none of us should be surprised in the least.
