The Texans said receiver Andre Johnson suffered a strained hamstring in his right leg when he was lost in the second quarter of Sunday’s 17-10 victory over Pittsburgh.
Johnson caught a 10-yard pass and went down without being touched. He walked off the field with a slight limp and later headed to the dressing room. He watched the second half in his regular clothes but left the dressing room after the game before the media was allowed to enter.
“All I can tell you right now is that we think it’s hamstring related,” coach Gary Kubiak said.
Johnson will undergo an MRI to determine the extent of his injury.
When Johnson went down, Reliant Stadium was quiet. Then fans began to chant, “An-dre, An-dre” before he walked off the field.
“The way he went down was deflating because it was like he just got shot, and that scares the heck out of you,” Kubiak said. “It’s very difficult. He’s the leader of our team and has been the leader of this franchise for a long time.”
Jacoby Jones replaced Johnson opposite Kevin Walter.
“If we have to go without him for a period, we’re going to have to ask some guys to really step up to the plate,” Kubiak said.
Johnson caught four passes for 36 yards before the injury.
“When a player like that goes down, the team has to come together,” offensive tackle Duane Brown said. “Guys have to step up and take that role.”
TY, some folks really need an anatomy class in here.But since we don't know I guess you can't rule anything out. It looks clear he went to the back and base of that hamstring. I think if it was an ACL type thing we would have known about it, also he didn't roll and twist around in pain like Britt and Charles, not saying you must react that way but when it's the knee guys usually don't just grab the back, they tend to wrap both hands around the entire knee, front and back. Again, we'll see what the news is tomorrow but I would expect him to miss a couple weeks minimum, would be a little surprised after what we know now if this was actually a season ending injury. I understand why people expected the worst, it was scary the way he fell down.Actually he grabs the "tie-in" at the base of hamstring.
Ive taken multiple anatomy classes. Cant say I recall ever learning about the hamstring tie-in.TY, some folks really need an anatomy class in here.Actually he grabs the "tie-in" at the base of hamstring.

Oct 3 - 9:05 AMAndre Johnson, WR HOUNews: CBSSports.com NFL insider Mike Freeman reports that the Texans fear the hamstring injury suffered by WR Andre Johnson on Sunday may force him to miss at least a few weeks. "If we have to go without him for a period, we're going to have to ask some guys to really step up to the plate," coach Gary Kubiak said on Sunday. According to the report, some within the Texans organization privately said they felt Johnson's chances of playing in Week 5 against Oakland were extremely slim.
