Andre Johnson has mild hamstring strain, is day to day


Coach Gary Kubiak said today Andre Johnson’s MRI showed a mild hamstring strain and the receiver will be “day to day” for Sunday’s game at Cincinnati.

“We’ll know more when we see him Wednesday,” Kubiak said about the first day of practice. “We feel very fortunate.”

Johnson missed six games after undergoing surgery on his right hamstring. He suffered the strain in his left hamstring in Sunday’s 17-10 victory over Atlanta.

If Johnson can’t start, he’ll be replaced by Jacoby Jones for the seventh time this season.

Punter Brett Hartmann is out for the season with a torn anterior cruciate ligament. They’ll have to work out some punters before signing a replacement. Kubiak said former Texans punter Matt Turk is a possibility.

They should sit him this week.

They should sit him this week.

I agree... Allow him to heal and hopefully be ready for the final three games... We will have a very important game the final week of the season when we take on the Titans at Reliant.

Yes, get him fully healthy before playing him again. Losing him long term is worse than the QB's IMO.

Cincy will give them a tough game this week but they should win these last four games even if AJ sits out. Get him healthy for the playoffs.

2 wins make the playoffs! Don't use AJ unless you need him! If we are in position for bye week maybe play him a little in week 17 to get him going again!
