AJ to Undergo Evaluation

[Fonz the Boss]

I'll take his words for it if he said that he is doing ok. I was a bit worried today because ESPN's injury analyst Stephania Bell said on ESPN radio that a bruised lung is not a day to day injury. She said that Andre would have to be very questionable for Sunday's game because a bruised lung can carry the complications of bleeding into the lungs if it is not properly healed when he takes a hit.

Receiver Andre Johnson did not practice today because of a bruised lung. Andre Davis took his place in the lineup across from Kevin Walter.

Johnson was injured in Sunday's 24-21 victory over San Francisco. He expects to play at Buffalo.

"Andre ran on the side some today," coach Gary Kubiak said. "I'm encouraged by what I saw today. If he doesn't have any setbacks, I feel good about him being able to play."
Linebacker Brian Cushing (foot) and free safety Eugene Wilson (groin) also missed practice. Cornerback Dunta Robinson (hamstring) was limited. All are expected to play against the Bills.

Defensive end Mario Williams participated in every drill.

"We're trying to be smart with them," Kubiak said. "We've got a bunch of guys that can use a break, and they'll get one in two weeks."

The Texans have their open date after they play Nov. 8 at Indianapolis.

Bad as we need this game, I would rather see AJ held out than risk further injury.

Coach Gary Kubiak announced Friday after practice that Johnson is "ready to go" against the Buffalo Bills on Sunday, barring any setbacks in his condition between now and kickoff at 12 p.m. CT.
