No link but read that he was just now able to bend his knee and start putting pressure on his knee. I'm guessing another 2 weeks at a minimum.

He was only supposed to miss 3-5 weeks, which would put him back BEFORE the bye.
\He will most definately be back before bye, either this week or next at the latest in my opinion. Let the AJ watch begin!

I definitely would not say that. He may be, but there was some speculation that they may wait until the bye to make sure he totally heals.

With all the bye weeks, we all need him back now, not later!

FF aside, the Texans are a team that needs him back in there. I can't imagine that they are planning to keep him out any longer than they have to with Jacksonville, Tennessee and San Diego on the schedule in the next three weeks. And seeing as three of their next four games are on the road, their season could be close to over if they wait until week 10 to get him back in.

Yes, but do they risk him re injuring and missing more time later? From what I can see, if they don't bring him back before the bye, they can still be in the WC hunt, but the desired 5 seed would be a stretch if they don't win in Nashville.

unfortunately, they lose those 3 with a 100% healthy AJ, they are not yet ready for primetime, they know it, and will not risk a more serious knee injury byputting him out there too soon

I could see him coming back before he was 100%. They need his physical presence out there more than anything. AJ goes 6'3, 225 lbs and we all know how strong he is. With Mathis out and Jacoby Jones doubtful, they have no decent physicality at WR besides Andre Davis at 6'1 195 lbs. Who else can beat defenses, Kevin Walter? Yeah, he's 6'3 and 215, but he's also got a whopping total of 1 career TD in 4 + seasons and has never had more than 19 catches in a season. I wouldn't want to rest my hopes on that.

Seriously, this is ridiculous.This is a team that's 3-2 right now, and it's still early in the season. I'd really like to hear someone tell Kubiak that they aren't a prime time team yet, and that they know it, and that's why they won't risk bringing AJ back too soon.
Maybe they will rest AJ until the bye, who knows. But one thing I do know is that they won't rest him because they feel they are a substandard team with no realistic shot at making the playoffs.

I agree that they can't be regarded as a serious Super Bowl contender, especially in that conference, but outside of NE, Indy and IMHO San Diego and Pittsburgh, who exactly figures to make the playoffs ahead of them? I like their chances as a Wild Card team, though they certainly have work to do.Drunken Cowboy

I need him back soon if I am going to keep surviving in the FBG's contest

Before he's 100% sure. but with a knee injury, they need to make sure he can take contact. They can't just rush him out there when he can run, but they have to know he can take a hit to his knee and not re-injure it severely. I don't know when that will be, does anyone?
coolnerd
Footballguy
Apparently, he ran some late last week. The notes I have seen are saying week 7 looks like the first realistic chance.

I think you can get Andre from some owners who need to start winning now, or are in trouble with bye weeks.

wish this were the case, but it seems folks are holding. he came out so strong that everyone believes they're gonna get the same player when he comes back. i disagree, but do still believe he'll be good...just not as good. i've been offering #2 RBs, but getting countered with #1s.swirvenirvin said:

CBSsportsline says looks like week 7 for a return.
News: Texans WR Andre Johnson (knee) did not practice Wednesday as the team prepares for Week 6 at Jacksonville, but head coach Gary Kubiak sounds encouraged Johnson will return to action in the coming weeks. "Andre ran (Wednesday)," Kubiak said. "He was out here right before practice and did a bunch of running. He’s made a lot of progress. I think we’re very, very encouraged in what we are seeing. I think as far as (Week 6) goes, he would still be very, very doubtful, but I think we were right on schedule with what we were thinking. Hopefully, (Week 7) we’re looking at getting him back."

I have him in a dynasty league and a lot of people expressed interest but were using the injury card to buy him low. Wasn't gonna happen. Now, the offers are still coming in as he's getting closer to play, but at this point, I've waited through this I'm really not inclined to trade him. Probably more an annoyance thing of baby-sitting him through his injury only to then give him up for what I should have gotten a couple of weeks ago, but still won't do it. I can see others feeling the same way.
I got him in a 3 player trade a couple weeks ago by giving up Brees, McAllister (pre-injury), and Cotchery for him, Campbell, and Bruce (dropped). Other owner thought Brees would bounce back and needed a some RB depth. I wanted to pair him up with Owens and Marshall since we start 3WR.

And on that note, just gave him up for McGahee. Every man has his price
I still think his value is up there even with the injury to this point.Construction Man Jim
Footballguy
I'm trying to acquire him for Sammy Morris and Brian Leonard. Other owner is seriously considering.
He's 1-4, also has Chad, TO and Bowe at WR, but only LJ, Julius, Betts and Wynn at RB (in a 14 team start QB-WR-WR-RB-RB-WR/RB-TE-K-D/ST league). I'm loaded at RB with MB III, AD, Jacobs, Kevin Jones but a little light at WR with Cotchery, Evans and James Jones.

Kubiak is more cautious about the return of Johnson, who sprained his knee against Carolina in Week 2 after catching a team-high 14 passes the first two games. He still leads the team in touchdowns scored with three.
“Andre ran today,” Kubiak said Wednesday. “He was out here right before practice and did a bunch of running. He’s made a lot of progress. I think we’re very, very encouraged in what we are seeing.
“I think as far as this week goes, he would still be very, very doubtful, but I think we’re right on schedule with what we were thinking. Hopefully, next week (versus Tennessee) we’re looking at getting him back.”

I was listening to Sirius Fantasy Football show last night and the one host who runs footballinjuries.com said he believes Johnson might start practicing next week and may play but it might be another couple of weeks. He did say, he is considering Johnson a 3rd WR going forward because the injury slows him down from running bursts.

its a week 10 bye i thought

It is week 10 bye. If AJ has no setbacks he'll be out 1 or 2 more weeks so its week 7 or 8 back in (my guess week 8).
Kuz

Fanball is stating he may be out for another month which would make him out until week 11.. Not sure if that's accurate but it wouldn't surprise me either..
Andre Johnson may be out until Week 11
Andre Johnson - WR - HOU - Oct. 13 - 11:04 a.m. ET
The Houston Chronicle reports Andre Johnson (knee) "seems unlikely" to play in Week 7 against Tennessee, and may be out until Week 11.
Especially if the Texans keep winning, they may not be inclined to push Johnson to play until after their Week 10 bye. The fact that Johnson has yet to practice at all during his layoff doesn't bode well. It looks like Andre' Davis will remain in the starting lineup for at least a few more weeks.

Crap city.Now I have to decide if I try to find a trade where I'm dealing from a position of weakness...i.e. trade Johnson to a team that can afford to wait for him to return for a solid but lesser player who I can start right now. In a decade of playing FF, I've never made such a trade, but I just don't think I can make due with Bernard Berrian and Lee Evans.

He is "SEEMS unlikely" for week 7 and they jump to "OUT til week 11"? This is 100% PURE spectulation!!! Houston is in a pretty tight race in the AFC South currently. They won't rush him back, but OUT for another month? Yea, I don't think so!NFL Network's Adam Schefter reports the Texans "feel pretty good" that Andre Johnson (knee sprain) will play in Week 7 against the Titans.
Johnson ran Wednesday for the first time since getting hurt. It's possible he'll do some limited work Friday. Houston figures to go use a receiver rotation this week involving with Andre' Davis, Kevin Walter, and Jacoby Jones.
I find this report to be faulty and not accurate. First of all this was reported.The latest
The News
Wide receiver Andre Johnson did not practice on Wednesday, and though he did run on the practice field for the first time since spraining his PCL in week two he is not expected to play this Sunday against the Jaguars. "That's the first time I've run gassers on the field," Johnson told the Houston Chronicle. "I didn't change direction much." Johnson added that he hopes to return in time for the Texans' week seven game against the Titans.
Our View
Andre Davis should get another start this week, though once Johnson and Jacoby Jones return from their respective injuries he may move into the third receiver role.
Then, it is not like Houston is going to win these games. They have
@ Jacksonville
Tennessee
@Charger
@ Raiders
before the bye. They beat Miami by a last second field goal last week, and they have a good shot of losing this week. If they win they may buy a week, but if AJ is saying week 7, I can't see him sitting week 7, 8, 9. I think the report is faulty, and I expect him back week 7 or 8. Houston needs 10 wins to get in playoffs and all this talk about them winning is premature.

I listen to that show while I am driving on Friday nights, and I can tell you those guys are the definition of hacks. They could make a show each week that lampoons the dumb predicitons those guys make. It's Adam Caplan from footballinjuries.com and John Hansen from fantasyguru.com. I would take what they say with a grain of salt.

hmmm lets see...listen to a news paper reporter or the head coach ...geez thats a tough one.

Houston has not been the most forthcoming team about the seriousness of injuries in their short time in the league. Whether it has been poor diagnosis or lying, those of familiar with the Texans don't really trust the injury updates as much as we should.
coolnerd
Footballguy
Houston was 4-1 against these teams last year. While all of these teams not named the Chargers are better, Houston is also. Really all of the games should be competitive and I would bet 2-2 over the four game stretch.
That was the first time I listened to it.

On his radio interview (no link), he said that he is crossing his fingers about Andre Johnson playing this week, but will know more on Wednesday and as the week progressed. Said this game has been the target for Johnson to play, but came nowhere close to saying yes.
