The Facts:
Johnson is already running on the beach in Miami, but Charles Collins says the receiver will have to undergo more individual work before he starts pounding the ankle with routes on grass. While it is unclear if Johnson is going to be full go for the start of practice July 28 in the wake of the June 18 arthroscopic surgery that removed bone spurs and loose bodies from his ankle, Collins says they plan to take it slowly.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Collins, who coached Johnson and Panthers receiver Steve Smith at Santa Monica Junior College, is working with the Bengals through training camp. This week, Collins is overseeing an annual passing camp in California, where Carson Palmer, Bengals teammates as well as other pros and collegians work annually. T.J. Houshmandzadeh led a Cincinnati contingent that also included Antonio Chatman along with rookies Jerome Simpson and Andre Caldwell. Collins expects rehabbing Johnson to show up later this week. We'll have more when/if Johnson makes an appearance.
