The Facts:
Johnson said he’s recovered from a late-season wrist injury that forced him to miss the Pro Bowl and is fully healthy three months before the annual draft. “I had played for a few weeks (with the wrist) and it was pretty sore and I didn’t want to go back out there and bang it up anymore,” Johnson said Wednesday.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
The veteran wide receiver has barely had time to meet Bill O’Brien, the Texans’ new coach. Johnson said limitations set by the new collective bargaining agreement have initially prevented the two from speaking at length. The first impression was positive, though. “He seems like a great guy,” Johnson said, who started all 16 games in 2013, recording 109 receptions for 1,407 yards and five touchdowns. As for thoughts on his future, Johnson was vague but upbeat. “Right now I don’t know when it might end. I’m feeling fine. I’m feeling healthy. So I’m going to continue to play as long as I can. Everybody knows that day when it’s over. When that day comes, I’ll have no problem stepping away. But right now I feel fine. I feel like I still have a few more years left in me.” While the team's issues under center are a concern, Johnson has been fairly quarterback proof to date. We'll see if he can continue to overcome that.
