Houston Texans receiver Andre Johnson plans to rejoin the team after missing the first three voluntary practices over a contract dispute. Johnson's uncle and agent Andre Melton told The Associated Press that he'll join the team at practice on Thursday after a meeting Wednesday with the team's front office that went "extremely well." The news was first reported by Houston TV station KRIV and the Houston Chronicle. Johnson, who has spent his entire career in Houston, is a leader for the Texans and hated being away from the team as it started practice this week. "He's was like dying to get back," Melton said. http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=5202683
