The Texans waived Johnson (hand) from injured reserve with an injury settlement Friday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Johnson just reverted to Houston's injured reserve list from waivers Wednesday, but now it looks like he's on the way out of H-Town. Once he recovers from the broken hand he's dealing with, he'll be able to look for another chance with a new team as a free agent.
