Andre Johnson: Lung Contusion
Oct 26 4:29 PM CST

Update: Johnson suffered a lung contusion Sunday and is listed as day-to-day for Week 8’s game against Buffalo, the Houston Chronicle reports.

Analysis: “We’re fortunate here,” coach Gary Kubiak said Monday, which implies that the team was concerned that Johnson had suffered a more sever injury. Johnson will undergo tests throughout the week, so at this point he looks iffy for Sunday’s game, but it’s early enough for that outlook to change in the coming days.

Oct 30 8:16 AM CDT Update: The Texans are sending Johnson (lung contusion) back to the doctor for a thorough examination as a precaution, the Houston Chronicle reports.

Analysis: The Texans are being extra careful with Johnson’s injury, so don’t worry about the examination. He was back at practice Thursday and fully expects to play in Sunday’s game against Buffalo. “I feel good,” Johnson said. “Like I said, I wasn’t in any pain, and I’m still not in any pain. My breathing is fine when I’m out there running. I’m ready to go get this scan to see if they see stuff. Hopefully, there’s nothing bad when they look at the scan.” Johnson will be wearing a padded extension to his shoulder pads to protect his chest.
