Detroit Lions wide receiver Calvin Johnson remains undecided on his future, his agent said Tuesday.

After the 2015 season, Johnson told several teammates that he was considering retirement because of football’s physical demands on his body. He has battled through ankle, finger and knee injuries the past few seasons.

Agent Bus Cook said there’s no timeline for Johnson to make a decision. Cook has represented Johnson since he was the No. 2 overall pick in the 2007 NFL Draft by the Lions.

“Nothing to report,” Cook said at the Senior Bowl in Alabama. “Have to wait and see. He has to think about what he’s going to do and then go from there.”

Johnson remains productive as a receiver. He led the Lions in 2015 with 88 receptions for 1,214 yards and nine touchdowns, raising his career totals to 731 catches for 11,619 yards and 83 touchdowns.

“Like many players at this stage of their career, I am currently evaluating options for my future,” Johnson said earlier this month. “I would expect to have a decision regarding this matter in the not too distant future.”
