Houston, TX (SportsNetwork.com) – Houston Texans wide receiver Andre Johnson sat out the majority of Thursday’s practice as he continues to deal with a shin bruise, with head coach Gary Kubiak declaring the All-Pro a “game-time decision” for this weekend’s matchup against the St. Louis Rams.<\/p>\n
Johnson did not practice at all on Wednesday due to the injury, which occurred in Houston’s loss at Baltimore on Sept. 22. The veteran wideout has yet to miss a game this season, but managed just three catches for 39 yards in last week’s 34-3 setback at San Francisco.<\/p>\n
“He’s just very sore from coming off that Baltimore injury,” said Kubiak. “He’s been pushing through it for us. It’s just a tough thing to work through.<\/p>\n
“We’re doing everything we can to get him back to full strength. He did move around a little bit [Thursday].”<\/p>\n
Johnson, who was listed as questionable on the injury report for the San Francisco game, still leads the AFC with 37 receptions totaling 407 yards through the season’s first five weeks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
