 Johnson, 33, recently requested a trade and will not report
when the team begins training camp on July 25, according to NFL
Network.
However, the team does not want to lose Johnson and wants him to
finish his career in Houston.
Johnson still has three years and $31.5 million left on his
contract but he skipped offseason workouts and minicamp.
After the Texans went a disappointing 2-14 season, Johnson
reportedly expressed that he does not wish to be part of another
rebuilding project.
The Indianapolis Colts signed free agent wide receiver Aaron
Burks and waived wide receiver LaVon Brazill on Friday.
Burks was originally signed by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers as an
undrafted rookie free agent on May 12 before being waived on
June 13. In four seasons at Boise State, he made 47 catches for
743 yards with four touchdowns.
Brazill was a sixth-round draft choice of the Colts in 2012. In
25 career regular season games, he has 23 receptions for 347
yards with three touchdowns.
Brazill was recently suspended indefinitely, reportedly for
violating the NFL's policy and program for substance abuse.
Minnesota Vikings defensive end Spencer Nealy was suspended four
games for violating the NFL's policy on performance enhancing
substances, the league announced.
The 24-year-old Nealy, an undrafted free agent out of Texas A&M,
did not play in a game last season.
