+1

He's been waiting way too long for this. I want him to suit up and record his first ever playoff game. He'll show up.

Folks, that playoff game is going to be emotional in many ways. It is my prayer that the emotions Andre, and all of us, feel do not include an Andre Johnson clutching his leg during that playoff game and hobbling off to the bench.

For t hat reason alone, I think he needs to rest the whole way and do the work that gets him ready for full-speed action. Hopefully, Delhomme and Garcia are throwing to him and creating a QB-WR relationship out there.

In that first playoff game, our offense will consist entirely of bubble screens to AJ. He's going to be so pumped up with awesomeness that he will run each one in for a touchdown. Nothing will be able to stop him.

It's going to be great.

In Matt Schaub's time here, he will have missed 17 games by the end of the season. AJ during that same stretch will have missed 20. Schaub has had cheap hits laid on him by Haynesworth, Drayton Florence, and Jared allen (twice). Then he had Haynesworth fall on his foot. AJ has been dealt injuries by ... well, grass.

FWIW

ESPN reports:

Andre Johnson, WR Out Dec 20
Comment: Houston Chronicle writer John McClain expects Johnson (hamstring) to play against Tennessee in Week 17.

I think during the playoffs we will direct snap it to AJ, and he will the sprout massive Angel wings and fly to the endzone multiple times during the game. This happens all the way to a Superbowl Victory. During the post game show AJ is immediately inducted as the first active player to the NFL hall of fame while simultaneously being knighted by the royal family and inducted into sainthood by the pope himself. It's going to be a magical run indeed.

So in other words, Andre will be out against the Titans

Yeah, that would be on par for McLame.

[BullNation4Life]

wow, shocking...

Just IR him and be done with it. Tired of wondering if he is coming back, when he is coming back and when he does come back, how long will it be before he gets hurt again...

He's close, he's not, he's on the verge, he has had a set back....sheesh

"I think Dominic Davis is close. He's looking good. The kid has been running and getting some work in. I think he's close. The kid is working his tail off."

Exactly....

Either he is ready or he isn't. Quit telling us "he is close" because obviously close means "he is 3 weeks away and even then we have no clue"

[HTown2ATX]

He'll be there for the playoffs...bank on it.....not hard to see IMO.

[HOU-TEX]

I don't mind holding him back for this game. Honestly, we should run, run and run some more this game. I see no reason why TJ would need to throw more than 15 times.

IMO, we win if TJ throws under 20 times and we run 30+ times.

Maybe he needs a trainer that knows what he's doing!! JMO! Why were his "hammy's" so fragile in the first place. Our players LOVE getting multiple opinions, why not AJ?

Speculation is just that, speculation!! IF he's cleared by the PROFESSIONALS then let the man do his job, if not, well, there's next year, and I'd rather see AJ on the field next year 100% then see him gone for good. I'm a greedy old biatch!! I want multiply playoff runs, not just one!!
