ChosenOne Posted October 5, 2011 Report Share Posted October 5, 2011 Houston Texans wide receiver Andre Johnson is expected to miss three weeks after undergoing a minor medical procedure Tuesday, according to a report by Fox 26 Sports in Houston. The report, which cited league sources, said Johnson had the procedure to "eliminate scar tissue to speed up the healing process related to his right hamstring." Johnson went down without getting touched in the second quarter against Pittsburgh on Sunday, and did not return. "You don't replace Andre," coach Gary Kubiak said Monday. "What you do is you've got to pick it up across the board, at other spots." That includes Jacoby Jones, who Kubiak is hoping can fill in for Johnson as ably as Ben Tate did for Arian Foster this season. Fox reached out to Johnson's agent, Kennard McGuire, who declined comment on the medical procedure. "Andre is doing fine and he looks forward to being with his teammates soon," McGuire told Fox.

fish7718 Posted October 5, 2011 Report Share Posted October 5, 2011 Might sound like bad news but seeing what happen actually sounds pretty fortunate that he's only out for 3 weeks. That division is trash, Houston should be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
htownborn Posted October 7, 2011 Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 (edited) Sucks that he'll miss some games but I'm not that worried at least its 3 weeks and like fish said AFC South sucks this season so I have faith in our offense that they will hold up well without him for now. That just means more passes to Owen Daniels and more pounding the ball with Foster and Tate if he's healthy. And hopefully Jacoby Jones learns how to catch the ball by Sunday.
