The former Texans receiver, who spent 12 seasons with the team, signed a one-day contract on April 19 to officially retire as a member of the Texans.

Johnson earned seven Pro Bowl berths with Houston and remains the team’s all-time leader in receptions with 1,012, 13,597 receiving yards and 64 receiving touchdowns.

The Texans kick off their regular season home slate against the Jacksonville Jaguars by donning white-on-white uniforms for the annual Liberty White Out Game.

Battle Red Day comes against the San Francisco 49ers on Dec. 10, and the home schedule concludes with a Christmas Day edition of ESPN’s “Monday Night Football” against the Pittsburgh Steelers, which serves as Fan Appreciation Day.
