The AP reports that Ahman Green is not experiencing problems with the knee that kept him out of all or part of 10 games last season. “”He looks good. He’s had a good offseason,” coach Gary Kubiak said. “I want to knock on something every time I say that. He’s been a good worker in the program. He hasn’t missed a day.” Full story here.

Monster Take: Green looks to be the starter here if he can stay injury free. That is a big “if” however. Note that it even has Coach Kubiak knocking on wood every time he talks of Green’s current healthy status. Green has value in what looks to be an improving Houston run attack. However, the injury risk pushes that value down. At 31 years old, the injury bug is an even greater risk. Don’t draft him as your number two - but if you can get him for depth he’s worth a shot.

The Houston Chronicle reports, “Texans wide receiver Andre Johnson will miss the entire month of OTA sessions after undergoing arthroscopic surgery on his left knee Thursday.” Full story here.

Monster Take: He should be back in time for training camp if he sticks to schedule. We’ll keep an eye on this for you.

The Houston Chronicle reports “at the Texans’ minicamp, all the backs are healthy, creating a logjam of competition.” Full story here.

Monster Take: This should be a fun one to watch. With Ahman Green, Domanick (Davis) Williams, and Chris Taylor reporting to minicamp healthy along with free agent acquisition Chris Brown and third-round draft pick, Steve Slayton the Texans have a pretty talented group to work with. We’ll keep you updated throughout the summer on this situation.
