Andre Johnson Has Knee Surgery…

Texans WR Andre Johnson underwent arthroscopic knee surgery late last week and will miss all of the Texans’ upcoming Organized Team Activities. The first word from the Texans is that Johnson will be ready for training camp, but we’re not so sure about that. Knee scopes are often the attempted cure for nagging injuries that linger into a players career and never truly go away.

Missing OTAs and possibly even training camp wouldn’t be a huge deal for Johnson, but missing Week 1 would, and not making it through a full season would, and that’s what we’re now worried about. He finished last season strong, but re-aggravated the knee two weeks ago, which prompted the surgery. Based on that information, we’re worried about him in 2008. He’s risky.
