Default AJ to Undergo Evaluation

Uh oh.....if I had to guess, I would say broken ribs. We can get by without him against Buffalo, but man, we need him if we are to be competitive against the Colts.

Chest injury sends Andre Johnson to hospital
Posted by Mike Florio on October 25, 2009 6:42 PM ET
Lost in the Texans build-a-big-lead-then-hold-on victory over the 49ers is that receiver Andre Johnson landed in a hospital after the game with what has been described as a chest injury.

"We're concerned," coach Gary Kubiak said after the 24-21 victory. "He could not go at the end and so there is concern until we see."

Johnson suffered the injury in the fourth quarter. He had two catches for 62 yards before leaving the game.

As our friends at Rotoworld point out, the fact that Johnson went to the hospital for evaluation could mean that he has one or more bruised or broken ribs.

No we cannot get by the Bills without our number 1 threat... The Bills gave the Panthers a 20-9 whooping and they have been playing good football ever since their big road win against the Jets. Hopefully we can get AJ back for this crucial game.

Jake Delhomme is why the Bills won. How he got an extension, I'll never know.

Yes, we cannot beat the powerhouse Bills without our #1. We should just pack it in for the rest of the season. Hopefully the players realize this so they will not exert too much energy in the remaining games and can go into next season fresh and healthy.

Uh, not to pile on you too much, but Buffalo won despite being outgained 425-167........

We have OD, Walter, Jacoby, and Andre Davis. I would think we SHOULD be OK without AJ for this. In all honesty, I just found out about it, and I am of the opinion we give him the week off so we can be sure to get him back for Indy.

Not to mention, I think they have the worst rush defense in the league. Maybe we can get some garbage stats up to crawl out of the cellar....

McClain now reporting: http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/...t/6685714.html

Texans receiver Andre Johnson left Sunday’s 24-21 victory over San Francisco with a chest injury but should be ready to play in the next game at Buffalo.

Johnson, who was injured in the fourth quarter, was taken to the hospital for X-rays before returning to Reliant Stadium to shower and dress after the Texans’ second consecutive victory.

“They’re telling me it’s a chest contusion,” coach Gary Kubiak said.

Kubiak will have an update on Johnson at his regular Monday afternoon news conference.

Johnson was injured when he caught a 44-yard pass on what proved to be the winning field goal drive. He fell on the ball, coughed up some blood and went to the sideline.

Johnson returned briefly, but when he tried to return a second time, some members of the team’s medical staff hid his helmet to keep him on the sideline rather than risk further injury.

Johnson’s catch down the middle gave the Texans the ball at San Francisco’s 41-yard line. Kris Brown finished the drive with a 50-yard field goal.



I added the bold for emphasis. AJ is a freaking beast! Get well soon, you are the freaking man!

So, basically, he's got some deep bruising but no broken bones. He should be fine. If there's any question, I'd hold him out this week so he's ready for Indy then has a bye week.

That sounds very promising. I hope he doesnt miss any action because right now every game is a must win.
