HOUSTON (AP) -Andre Johnson recently had arthroscopic surgery on his left knee that will keep him from practicing with the Houston Texans until training camp in July. Johnson injured his knee early last season and missed seven games with what the team called a knee sprain. He returned for the last seven games, but said he had a nagging pain in his knee when he ran. ``When I ran, period, it bothered me in the inside of my knee,'' he said. ``It was just something that just got real aggravating.''

The 6-foot-4, 338-pound offensive lineman took the field with his team for the first time since breaking his left leg nearly two years ago, a severe injury that doctors thought could end his career.
