The Facts:
Those anxious for the 2007 debut of Johnson may not have to wait until the regular-season opener Sept. 9. Johnson said after Sunday's workout that he intends to play in Thursday's preseason finale against St. Louis at the Edward Jones Dome. "If it was up to me, I'd play the whole game," Johnson said. "But they're not going to let that happen."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
The more likely scenario, HC Herman Edwards hinted, is that Johnson will only be in for a few series. "It will be real fast," Edwards said. "Don't blink." Although he spent the first half of August working out at an Arizona training facility, Johnson realizes he's not in "football shape." He said he may not be ready to handle his normal workload until the third or fourth game of the season. "You can run sprints all day," Johnson said. "But if you're not out there running plays, cutting and dodging and accelerating. ... That stuff can tire you out quickly."
