“We’ll see where Andre’s [Johnson] at tomorrow,” Texans coach Gary Kubiak said. “It’ll probably still be a game-time decision. I don’t think he’ll do much (Friday).”
Asked if he was more concerned about Johnson’s availability than in previous weeks, Kubiak said, "I'd say it's the same at this point today." Johnson has been injured since Week 2, but he has played in every game except for the Texans' Week 4 trip to Oakland.
Chasing 1,500
Johnson needs 284 yards in the final two games to become the first receiver in NFL history with 1,500 yards in three consecutive seasons. He had 1,575 in 2008 and 1,569 in 2009, and he has 1,216 so far in 2010.
“It would mean a lot,” Kubiak said. “It is something that I thought about, and I know it would be important to him, throughout the season. I’ll be honest with you, seven or eight weeks ago, I didn’t think there was a chance in hell in where he was with his foot and the time he had missed. Yet he continued to play well and have big days. It would mean a great deal, but at the same time, we’ve got to be smart in what we’re doing with him. So I’ll strictly listen to him, but it has been on our mind.”
