AJC characterizes as serious leg injury, taken away by ambulance. Hope he makes a quick recovery. He was projected to start this season.

FLOWERY BRANCH -- Falcons right tackle Mike Johnson, who was listed No. 1 on the team’s depth chart, suffered an apparent left leg injury and was carted off the practice field on Tuesday.
He was injured on the first play of the 9-on-7 inside run drills on the second day of practice between the Falcons and the Cincinnati Bengals. He left the team's facilities in an ambulance.
Johnson was the leading candidate to replace Tyson Clabo at right tackle.
Lamar Holmes, a second year player from Southern Mississippi, is the No. 2 right tackle.
The Falcons released Clabo over the offseason.

Darn.... Mike was always very kind to us when we interviewed him and would stay as long as people had questions... He said he worked hard to be good, but considered himself very lucky to have gotten the right breaks at the right time with the right team...
