HOUSTON -- Safety Ed Reed missed the Houston Texans first spring workout on Monday as he recovers from hip surgery in Colorado. Coach Gary Kubiak said Reed is "doing really well." The nine-time Pro Bowler signed a three-year contract in free agency and will miss organized team activities. "The expectations are for him to leave Colorado sometime this week," Kubiak said. "But its going good." Linebacker Brian Cushing will also miss OTAs as he recovers from left knee surgery. Cushing tore his anterior cruciate ligament after a rolling hit by New York Jets guard Matt Slauson on Oct. 8. He said his rehab has gone well and he has no restrictions on the knee. "There havent been any setbacks," Cushing said. "Its felt great, Im starting to feel like me again. Thats a hell of a feeling, considering how hard it was some mornings just to get up. "But its just night and day and its in the past. Its full-throttle now, and Im going to go as hard as I can until Im back." First-round pick DeAndre Hopkins took the field for the first time with Andre Johnson, the star receiver that Hopkins was brought in to complement with his big-play ability. "Im not thinking too much about it, Im thinking through it," Hopkins said. "Im trying to make everything perfect." Hopkins impressed coaches at last weekends rookie minicamp and Johnson said Hopkins has been a quick study this week. "He seems to know everything," Johnson said. "I havent seen him make any mistakes as far as lining up or anything like that and he hasnt busted any plays. Its all been positive so far." Quarterback Matt Schaub, who missed OTAs last year as he recovered from a broken foot, said Hopkins already carries himself like a veteran. "Its only day one out here, but you see that hes not got the deer in the headlights look," Schaub said. "Hes ready to go and is very positive and just works hard." With the addition of Hopkins, Johnson thinks the Texans will have the best collection of receivers in his time in Houston. Hopkins joined Lestar Jean, an undrafted free agent in 2011, and 2012 draft pick Keshawn Martin in Mondays drills. DeVier Posey, a third-round pick last year, watched Mondays practice from the sideline as he recovers from a torn Achilles tendon suffered in the playoffs. Kubiak said Posey is ahead of schedule in his rehab and wants to beat the projection that hell start the season on the physically unable to perform (PUP) list. Kubiak said linebacker Brooks Reed took reps at inside linebacker, which allowed draft picks Sam Montgomery and Trevardo Williams to play with the first and second teams. Montgomery and Williams play outside linebacker and Kubiak says OTAs provide a good opportunity for Reed to explore the new spot. Reed has been an outside linebacker since the Texans drafted him in 2011 and hes been working with Cushing to learn to play inside. "Your eyes have got to be better, and that just takes discipline and repetition," Reed said. Linebacker Darryl Sharpton also participated after hurting his hip in the Texans regular-season finale. Kubiak said hell be "protective" of Sharpton and keep him out of some special teams drills. Cornerback Brice McCain was also back "on a temporary basis," Kubiak said, after breaking his left foot in a Dec. 2 game against Tennessee. Setting the tone, 2012 defensive player of the year J.J. Watt was the first non-kicker to take the practice field on Monday morning. "We have a lot of new faces on this team and we have to let them know what its like to play in this organization and be playing in this city for this team," Watt said.
