The Facts:
Eight days after suffering a groin injury in practice, Johnson is back. But he’s still not really back. HC Gary Kubiak said after practice on Monday that the Texans will be using Johnson sparingly, for now. “We put a play count on him, so we’re going to do that as the week goes on,” Kubiak said. "It’s about getting him going again and not expecting him to go the full bore on the first day out. I thought he held up well, and we’ll move forward tomorrow.”

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
The magic number seems to be 20. ... “They just wanted to work me in,” Johnson said. ”I took probably about 20 reps today, but they were kind of mixed in. Sometimes I went in for two or three plays in a row. They did a great job of mixing it up. The practice went fine. ...” Kubiak said the team will decide on Thursday whether Johnson will participate in Saturday’s preseason opener at Carolina. As PFT's Mike Florio suggests, the Texans should rest the oft-injured Johnson now, because they need Johnson later. Beyond him and Kevin Walter, there’s no receiver on the roster with any regular-season experience.
