It's been a long road to recovery for New York Giants cornerback Bruce Johnson, but nearly eight months after rupturing his Achilles during training camp practice, the fourth-year player out of Miami has been given a clean bill of health.

"Just left the Doctor and he gave me the green light and said I'm 100% … torn Achilles fully healed! Thank you, Jesus!" Johnson wrote on his Facebook page.

Even prior to this news, the Giants were confident enough with Johnson's rehab to keep him in blue, re-signing him to a one-year, $540,000 deal in early March.

In 22 career regular season games with the Giants, Johnson has collected 51 tackles (41 solo), one sack, two forced fumbles, eight passes defended and two interceptions, one of which was returned for a touchdown.

Johnson will compete with Justin Tryon, Brian Witherspoon, Prince Amukamara, Michael Coe and Brandon Bing for playing time as a reserve in 2012-2013.

In 2009, Johnson led the team in performance-based pay, earning an additional $270,766 on top of his salary of approximately $311,000.
