WR Johnson at 'full speed' as Texans camp approaches

Texans WR Andre Johnson said Thursday that he is running at "full speed" on his surgically repaired left knee, and it appears he will be ready to play when the Texans begin training camp on Friday.

"I was out running routes (Wednesday)," Johnson told Houston reporters, "and I haven’t had anything since I have been out running or anything."

Johnson missed seven games because of an injury to the knee last season, and pain in the knee was an issue even after his return. Nonetheless, he caught 60 passes for 851 yards and seven TDs. He had arthroscopic knee surgery in May.

Texans QB Matt Schaub said Johnson looks good to him.

"We have been throwing here for a couple of weeks. He says he is good and feels great, so, you know, it’s great to have everyone back and healthy,” Schaub said.
