Andre Johnson Injures Chest, Taken Out of Game - Houston Texans Message Board & Forum

**gtexan02** · 10-25-2009

On a play away from him, AJ apparently suffered a chest injury. He was reported as having the wind knocked out of him, and came back a few plays later. Then he was pulled a second time and taken to the locker room. He came back from the locker room, sat on the sidelines, and his return was listed as questionable. Then the trainers took his helmet and he was led into the locker room a second time.

Confusing series of events, and not sure if Im 100% correct in following it. Any updates?

Sounds like he bruised some ribs

I posted this in the game thread:

610 just said AJ has a bruised chest muscle but is being taken to the hospital for further testing.

Brief story at ESPN:

Johnson leaves game with hurt chest

HOUSTON -- Houston Texans receiver Andre Johnson injured his chest against the San Francisco 49ers and the team says his return is questionable.

Johnson was shaken up on a play in the fourth quarter Sunday and remained on the field on his hands and knees for a few minutes before walking to the sideline. He returned for one play a few minutes later, but was held out of the Texans' next series.

He was seen talking to Houston's medical staff for several minutes before he was escorted off the field.

Hopefully our AJ will be A-OK!!!!!!!!

I'm hoping its not a rib injury, broken ribs are a 6-8 week process at best...... this is not good

Hopefully its just a contusion/bruise/external problem and not a rib injury

**gtexan02** · 10-25-2009

Hospital? That sounds bad...

TheIronDuke · 10-25-2009

Eh, just for tests, I think (hope) he'll be fine.

**texasguy346** · 10-25-2009

He may have a bruised sternum. I recall Steve McNair had that type of injury back while playing for the Titans. It seemed to be a nagging sort of injury. I certainly hope it is nothing serious as our offense relies heavily on AJ to open up our other options.

Mailman · 10-25-2009

I think it's a rib injury because the first time he was visibly hurt he was pointing to his back on the sideline.

GuerillaBlack · 10-25-2009

Hopefully it's just a bruise.

steds · 10-25-2009

Just saw the "Johnson hospitalized" headline on the nfl site. I almost had a heart attack. Needed a whisky out to calm my nerves. I hope it's not bad and that he's good to go in Buffalo.

Norg · 10-25-2009

Broadcasting on the game also said

AJ tried to sneak out into the field grabbed a helmet and wanted back in they had to drag him back into the locker room that brings a tear in my eye !!!!!! LOL

Carr Bombed · 10-25-2009

So I wonder when we'll get a update??

Bubbajwp · 10-25-2009

Good thing our bye week is coming up soon.

Johnson update: Wide receiver Andre Johnson has a chest contusion and was taken to the hospital for further examination. He left the game two plays after making a twisting, leaping 44-yard catch between two defenders in the fourth quarter.

Determined to play, Johnson returned to the game a few plays later before being taken out for good. He finished with two catches for 62 yards. A Texans spokesperson said that Johnson was out of the hospital after the game. The team will provide an update on his status tomorrow.

(on WR Andre Johnson's injury) "Well, we're concerned. He's got what they're telling me is a chest contusion right now. We have him down at the hospital; we'll get him looked at. But, obviously he could not go there in the end. So there's concern until we see."

I say...just make sure he's ready to go against the Colts.

imatexan · 10-25-2009

AJ never ceases to amaze me, he wanted to go back in.

We need you back AJ, lets hope this is not serious.

**gtexan02** · 10-25-2009

I wonder if he had a partially collapsed lung. That would be cause for hospital

qman_tx · 10-25-2009

I've experienced muscle strains/pains in the chest area and they are nothing to play with.
