Texans' Lonnie Johnson carted into locker room a day after sparking fight with Packers

On Monday, Houston Texans rookie cornerback Lonnie Johnson sparked a fight during joint practices with the Green Bay Packers when he decked Jace Sternberger.

Johnson was sent to the showers afterward.

Following the ordeal, Packers head coach Matt LaFleur expressed anger over the incident, which was a stark juxtaposition to Texans coach Bill O’Brien’s nonchalant comments on the matter.

One day later, and something has apparently changed. O’Brien kept Johnson out of practice Tuesday, and per Ian Rapoport of NFL Media he will address Johnson’s situation after practice is over.

#Texans CB Lonnie Johnson, bounced from the #Packers joint practice yesterday after his big hit/posedown combination, is not at practice with his teammates today. He’s currently working out in the field house and coach Bill O’Brien will address his situation afterward.

Unfortunately, it appears Johnson was himself injured on Tuesday.

Saw #Texans CB Lonnie Johnson in a cart being driven back to the locker rooms as practice was underway. He’s the one who hit Sternbergerun practice yesterday.
