Texans cornerback Kevin Johnson recently underwent foot surgery to aid the healing process after breaking a bone in his foot suffered in October against the Indianapolis Colts.

Placed on injured reserve, Johnson is expected to make a full recovery in time for the offseason.

The initial plan was for Johnson to have the foot heal naturally, but it was decided recently to have the surgical procedure. Johnson had surgery on the same foot for a Jones fracture after his rookie season along with wrist surgery.

Drafted in the first round last year out of Wake Forest, Johnson had 10 tackles in his final game of the season as he shut down Colts wide receiver Phillip Dorsett.

Johnson's loss represented a major blow to the Texans' defense, but they have carried on well without him due to the presence of cornerbacks A.J. Bouye, Johnathan Joseph and Kareem Jackson.

In two NFL seasons, Johnson has recorded 73 tackles, 12 passes defended, one interception and one fumble recovery.
