“It’s the offseason and I’m not going to really indulge in injuries or things like that,” he said.

Johnson missed 15 games last season after suffering a wrist injury in the season opener. He was cleared medically earlier this year and until this week had been participating fully in the offseason program.

Earlier this week, Johnson tweeted pictures of himself and his wife snorkeling and zip-lining during a recent trip to Hawaii.
