The Facts:
Following up on a
previous item. ... Johnson suffered a hamstring injury on Friday. Per a league source, Johnson has definitely strained the muscle, and his specific timetable for a return currently is unclear. The assumption is that he’ll miss most of the preseason.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
As PFT's Mike Florio suggests, Johnson's absence for the meaningless games will impair his ability to learn the offense being installed by the new coaching staff. However, it’ll give other guys on the roster an opportunity to step up. "If nothing else," Florio added, "those opportunities will help offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett have even less stress about finding a No. 2 wideout." We'll continue to follow up on Johnson as needed; it'll be certainly be interesting to see if the injury has any impact on the team's
plans to work Johnson in the slot more this fall.
