Sounds like good news given how it looked initially, hopefully AJ only misses 2-3 weeks. Unfortunately Texans don't have a bye until week 11.
If we're going to be optimistic, then why not wildly optimistic?
Okay, let's be wildly optimistic. Kubiak said that they have to do what's right for Johnson, and they're getting second opinions. Maybe the original diagnosis was really, really positive-- like, no damage at all. It just hurt at the moment but there's nothing major wrong with him (he was walking fine, etc.) so he could practice and play even this week, theoretically. Obviously he's hesitant to do that after the pain he felt, so they're getting second opinions just to make sure the team isn't throwing him back out there and risking another injury.In other words, it was so positive they want more opinions just so Johnson feels better about the diagnosis and can believe that's he's really just fine.
Wildly optimistic to be sure, but very reasonable as well. I was thinking/hoping along the same lines.
not likely for me to make the playoffs with him costing me a win last week and without his production over the next 2-3 weeks. I knew i should've gone Calvin #1 overall.I'm bitter. I get so sick every year of pouring out tons of effort in ffl only to see Jamaal Charles and Andre Johnson ruin another season.i thought i could overcome Charles... i can't overcome losing both.There's so little of a skill component to FFL it's not funny.'JuSt CuZ said:
Not really new news, but this was on PFT...http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/10/05/andre-johnson-expected-to-miss-three-games/
This gives me a bad feeling about this situation. Already starting with misinformation, no official timetable for return, I hope this isn't the beginning of a season-long headache.
Out 2-3 weeks is pretty common for ordinary hamstring injuries. Seems pretty unlikely that he's out only 3 if he needed any type of surgical help.
They cut off scare tissue? That's a pretty scary procedure!'JuSt CuZ said:
Well, he's got nothing to be afraid of now...
Week 8 would be good with me, give him the extra week.He is a beast and needs to be in the lineup, I would like to see him back week 9 just to be healed.
Last week I gave up miles and Stafford and got Brady and Andre. I have depth at WR, so I took the risk.'unckeyherb said:
Tough to consider him a top 3 receiver value-wise with the way CJ, Wallace, Welker and Steve Smith have been playing until he plays. Saying he's going to return week x is one thing, him actually playing is another. That being said, I wouldn't be surprised if he ended being a GTD this week. Like I said before, it's a big game for the Texans and AJ will do anything he can to get on the field so he can destroy Finnegan.
That doesn't seem like much risk when you're getting Brady in the deal.
You didn't mug him until Andre Johnson actually plays.
FML. Only thing worse than a season ending injury is a season muddling injury.
LOL, wow i love the instant panic...Remember the Colston injury was suppose to be 6 weeks, but he was back to full swing in 3.They originally thought this was a season ender, and he is already running. For sure it is week, or else he would of played last week, and no one really expected him back this week...except for the people who need him.I like hearing from the horses mouth, but you cant really see how he said it in the context that was given.
Thanks for passing along, but this is a rehash of yesterday's PC. Andre Johnson has already done interviews which give more information since then.
I agree. The "six weeks" part of that news is scary, but when you read it as "six weeks at most" it's really not any different from the timetables we've heard previously. In other words, it won't take longer than six weeks to heal, but likely will be less than that.
