Johnson Has History of Nagging Injuries

Johnson has avoided major injuries throughout his career, never missing more than three games in a season since being drafted in 2007. While there's always some luck that comes along with durability, it's also a testament to his warrior mentality. He wants to make his presence felt each Sunday.
