http://blog.chron.com/ultimatetexans/2012/07/andre-johnson-forced-out-of-practice-with-an-injury/ Stephanie Stradley @StephStradley Andre Johnson tweaked something. Will ask Kubiak. He's no longer being looked at, standing w/ teammates. Maybe groin? Wait, see. Can't be a good sign.
I fully expected this. If Andre plays in half our games this year we will be lucky. Rookie WR's better learn quickly.
I know this is nothing to panic about but I am terrified about Andre's future. It's starting to have a Yao-esque feel to it and it would be awful if he weren't around now that we're finally good. <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p>Andre Johnson left practice with what Gary Kubiak called a tweaked groin.

Figures. The Houston sports curse still going strong. Groin injuries are the worst because they can be nagging throughout the season. Just hope that it really is a mild injury. Gotta build up team chemistry, our main stars have to be healthy for the majority of the regular season games if we have any hope to go deep into the playoffs.
I'm not worried at all. I bet Johnson plays at least 14 games this year. I'd put a tip jar bet on it.
The Fake ESPN @TheFakeESPN Texans receiver Andre Johnson suffers groin injury during practice, T.J. Yates' accuracy apparently not showing improvement.
Yeah Rip, it just highlights that need for a high quality veteran #2 that can serve as SOME kind of insurance. Get well AJ!
look at training camps around the league, guys like revis in their mid 20s are tweaking things. It's football. I nearly tore my Achilles tendon doing some 'research' on the minka kelly thread!
