Andre Johnson's soreness has gone away

Andre JohnsonCoach Gary Kubiak said Andre Johnson's hamstring "soreness has gone away, and his rehab has picked up."
"We'll see where he's at each week," Kubiak said Monday. Johnson won't play against the Ravens Sunday, but the Texans aren't yet ruling him out for Week 7 at Tennessee. Still, the most likely return date remains Week 8 against the Jaguars. Remember that the Texans held Arian Foster out an extra week earlier this season to protect his hamstring from aggravation.
The Texans are expected to sign free agent WR Juaquin Iglesias to their practice squad on Wednesday.
It could mean nothing, or it could mean something. On the heels of Tuesday night's Derrick Mason acquisition, CBS Sports' Mike Freeman is speculating that the receiver additions suggest Johnson's recovery from hamstring surgery is going slower than anticipated. The Texans insist otherwise, but it's a situation to monitor. The Iglesias signing would put three wideouts on Houston's practice squad, joining Dominique Edison and Jeff Maehl.
