Whether Xavier Johnson completes his comeback this season in a Colorado Buffaloes uniform, or if he ultimately returns next fall for a fifth season, remains to be determined.
Yet any avenue toward an XJ comeback this season cleared a major hurdle Friday afternoon, as the senior forward worked out as a full participant at practice for the first time since tearing his left Achilles tendon in June.
Johnson previously had been participating in shooting and individual skill drills, but Friday marked his first appearance this season in full-speed team drills.
