WR Johnson gives Kubiak a
scare

Texans coach Gary Kubiak
didn’t try to pretend he wasn’t
nervous when he saw Andre Johnson pull up short
while running a route. Johnson then bent over and
limped off the field.
“That’s the worst nightmare for a
coach,” Kubiak said. “(A) guy like him
getting hurt, it’s part of football,
unfortunately, and there’s not a play that you
don’t hold your breath, in all honesty,” he
said. “You’ve just got to keep pushing
through and hope for the best and hopefully it’s
our time to stay healthy. We’ve been pretty
fortunate through this camp; we’ve been pretty
darn good. Keep our fingers crossed with him and see
what happens.”
Johnson said his groin tightened up when he was running
the route, but he’s not worried it’s
serious. He rejoined his teammates at the post-practice
huddle, then signed autographs for fans.
“Normally, when you have a pull or something, you
can tell when you’re running by the way it
feels,” Johnson said. “I didn’t feel
anything pop or anything like that. I just felt it
tighten up real tight on me. When I felt that, I just
slowed down. I didn’t feel a pop or anything like
that afterward, so like I said, I’m fine.
I’ll get treatment for a few days and I’ll
be fine.”
