AJ out a few weeks, has procedure

If Johnson goes out, I wouldn't be too worried. Our offense is built around him, yes but ever since Foster came in its been dependent on him as well. With Foster we still have the ability to run those play actions and screens. It is worth noting that we didnt even really throw to johnson in the pittsburgh game. I will not be too woried if he goes out for 2 weeks or maybe even more.

On a related note, if johnson is out for the season, I think we should pull a mike ditka and trade our entire team (including the coaching staff and toro) for Lebron James! He will come in and score 40 points for us every game!

Lebron for houston!:cow:

Who do you have in mind? Besides T.O. and Moss, that is.

There ain't nobody out there. They would already be playing if there were.

Housh maybe? Take a chance? I dunno, you're right. There are the known possible issue guys and then a bunch of guys whose teams didn't keep them when they had the chance.

We're screwed.

Ummm it was still the threat of him out there, when a guy consistently sraws double and triple teams that leaves ur other guys mainly 1 on 1. I dont care if we still do have play action cause the fact of the matter is johnson opened up the passing game for everyone else. Now defenses wont have that problem.

Johnson post on Facebook last night:

News for yall I'm fine. Imma miss some time but it's just the staff being safe, I'll be good to go soon

He sounds positive to me! Hopefully this is the way it will work and we'll only miss him for 1-2 games.

Is this fake or not?

Andre Johnson likely out multiple weeks
October, 4, 2011

Johnson could be seen grabbing the lower part of his hamstring, just above the knee, at the time of his injury which would suggest that the injury was near the tendinous attachment. Those injuries are often slow to heal because of poorer blood supply to the tendon.

We didn't really throw to AJ? He had 36 yards receiving in a little over a quarter!

Andre Johnson had a procedure done on his hamstring today, could miss 3 weeks. Procedure was to prevent scar tissue and speed the recovery

McClain_on_NFL John McClain
Jacoby Jones starts in place of Johnson opposite Kevin Walter. Johnson will miss Oakland, Baltimore and possibly Tennessee games.
 
Would you be willing to give up 2 seconds for Brandon Marshall. It's not as if we have an unblemished track record in the draft, and we wouldn't have to rush Andre back. Plus Andre, Arian, Marshall, OD, Matt, and our line is deadly all over the field. Especially in the red zone.
 
Good to see it here. Sorry, I saw it in the NFL Forum and wondered if you were going to post it here.

Found this in other forum, just posting in here.
 
I'm doubting its just three weeks, knowing the Texans. Hoping for the best, but feeling like he won't come back until after the bye.

Baltimore will be won or lost in the trenches. Brown breaking Harrison's eye socket might give Suggs a bit of pause. Hopefully our OL will be hammers and not nails for that game.

With AJ missing these games, it'll be the ultimate test for the Texans the next 3-4 weeks. I honestly think they can do it. Make AJ proud and get it done. AJ is the heart and soul of this team. Don't make all of the games he's played through injuries in go to waste. Rally around and get this team to the playoffs this year.
 
Well, now is the time to really find out what Jacoby Jones is all about. I hope he steps up to the potential that many claim he's got in him.

Fortunately, this offense has quite a few solid weapons, so I agree with the above, these games are winnable. Our defense will need to continue to step up and make some plays, maybe even score some points.

This is what great TEAMS are made of in the end.
 
I figured it would be something like that. Hopefully he can get better faster than expected and be back for Tennessee for sure.

Until then, throw to the damn HB and FBs. Foster, Tate, Ward, Casey, Vickers, OD, Dreesen. Use them!

Just as I have posted all along, if he required surgery, it would have to be to repair a torn distal hamstring TENDON, not muscle.

They have reported "a medical procedure." If this medical procedure is Platelet-Rich Plasma Therapy, it would still most likely reflect treatment of a poorly vascularized tissue as in a tendon.

Not really following you on that last statement Doc. Is a torn tendon worse? 100% recovery likely?

Does 2-3 weeks sound consistent?

Muscle tissue has great blood supply. Tendon tissue has very poor blood supply. Tendon tears tend to heal much slower than muscle tears.

From the Chronicle:
Texans receiver Andre Johnson underwent a medical procedure on his right hamstring Tuesday and could return in three weeks.

The procedure was done to prevent scar tissue from forming around a minor tear. The procedure is supposed to speed up the healing process.

Kennard McGuire, Johnson's agent, wouldn't comment on the procedure but said, "Andre's fine. He's looking forward to being back with his teammates."

Note that the statement given does not say muscle when describing "a minor tear."

This could be our finest hour. This will tell us if this team is ready to take another step forward.

Next man up Jacoby.

Didn't we do this last year?

What is this going to tell us that last year's game didn't?

Some tendons do receive better blood supply than others. Could this be one of those? When I heard this, I figured it was a snow job and we'd be lucky to see AJ again before the playoffs.

Larger tendons like the Achilles have poorer blood supply than smaller tendons........but all tendons and ligaments have relatively very poor blood supply and repairative properties compared to muscle

That is entirely counter-intuitive.

I think Jacoby gets targeted by fewer passes than: Owen Daniels, Arian Foster, James Casey, Joel Dressen, and (if he plays - Ben Tate). Well, at least he will catch fewer.
 
Its now on ESPN


http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/7...on-expected-miss-three-weeks-according-report

Houston Texans wide receiver Andre Johnson is expected to miss three weeks after undergoing a minor medical procedure Tuesday, according to a report by Fox 26 Sports in Houston.

The report, which cited league sources, said Johnson had the procedure to "eliminate scar tissue to speed up the healing process related to his right hamstring."

AFC South blog

Johnson went down without getting touched in the second quarter against Pittsburgh on Sunday, and did not return.

"You don't replace Andre," coach Gary Kubiak said Monday. "What you do is you've got to pick it up across the board, at other spots."

That includes Jacoby Jones, who Kubiak is hoping can fill in for Johnson as ably as Ben Tate did for Arian Foster this season.

Fox reached out to Johnson's agent, Kennard McGuire, who declined comment on the medical procedure.

"Andre is doing fine and he looks forward to being with his teammates soon," McGuire told Fox.
 
I thought three weeks in the other AJ thread. I just dont think its gonna be just three weeks though. Then again, AJ is the Bionic Man, so he might just make it back in 3. :wild:

I might need someone to spell this out for me. So we know he had a procedure on his hamstring. But we do not know if its a muscle or tendon tear. CND is leaning toward a tendon tear which could mean longer than 2 or 3 weeks?
