APThe Texans are counting on cornerback Johnathan Joseph to prop up an anemic secondary in 2011. And so Texans fans will understandably be unnerved by any evidence suggesting that Joseph may not be able to do what he was hired to do.
Only days before the preseason opener, Joseph missed practice due to tightness in his groin.
“[H]e actually got an injection so that takes some time to come back but everything looks fine,” coach Gary Kubiak said Friday, via comments distributed by the team. “He’s OK. I expect him to be out there tomorrow.”
There’s no reason to be concerned, for now. But any time “groin” and “injection” are used in the same sentence, it makes sense to at least worry — and cringe — a little bit.

Remember when that hostess in Reno accused Big Ben of giving groin injections?
Injection into the groin… gross.
That’s the knock on joseph he just can’t stay healthy
Does that headline make you cringe or what?
Dear football gods.. I spend more time in your chruch on sunday than I do my own religions church on sunday. I prey to you that The Texans do make the playoffs. The players stay healthy all year and Andre Johnson gets 1600 receiving yards and 15 td’s. God bless John madden, Bill Belichick, and the holy Reggie White. Amen
aka a Texas Teabag…
Isn’t that called Cialis?
Hot beef variety?
“but everything looks fine.” How does Kubiac know what Joseph’s groin looks like?
Boy, there’s a great joke in that headline somewhere.
ouch
I thought American pharmaceuticals were only interested in inducing groin tightness…sorry for the obvious low brow comment
Ouch
This not good news for my pick in the AFC south this season. If i were the Texans he would only be doing walk throughs for the rest of the summer. Joseph is just to important.
Some stories just have headlines that write themselves. The last one I saw before this was when Paris Hilton was arrested for a DUI, telling police, “I just had to get some In-N-Out.”
Gr-Gr-Gr Groin injury…..
DRUG TEST HIM
An “injection” to relieve groin tightness?
That’s odd.
In my case it’s the exact opposite.
This is where it’s awkward to be a female football fan … but is this an injury or some, um, natural occurrence? Though I’d never wish injury on anyone, it does make me feel a little better that the Steelers didn’t pursue him.
This one would be too easy….
The Texans need to find a back-up plan in the secondary. Joseph is an elite corner, but he has a history with injuries. We’re good to go at every position on offense and every other position on defense except for maybe nose tackle.
If Joseph takes an early exit with a severe injury, everything could fall to pieces and the almost sure-fire plan to top the Colts would go with it.
I expect Kareem Jackson to become better this year with better coaching, the much-improved pressure from the front seven and the presence of Danieal Manning and Joseph. While he should have the No. 2 spot, adding a Kelvin Hayden would be a smart, safe and forward-thinking move. Plus, it’d tick off the Colts.
Shoulda sign Aso.
If you have a groin tightness that last for more than four hours, consult a physician.

=====================
No, that would be “stiffness”.
No apologies for the low brow response. Such behavior is expected of us Americans.
I wish my wife could find something to tighten up her thighs…
Is this where I can say Hot Beef Injection? o.O I mean its the Texans
Sore groin normally means you need an injection FROM the affected area.
So, Kubiac did an inspection on Josephs groin? How does he know that everything looks fine?
I wonder if he got an HGH injection in his groin?
that’s the texans for you….
injecting steroids in their player’s groins!
Banyon: “That’s GOLD Jerry. GOLD!”
Isn’t that something a woman gets
Guys, calm down. He’s going to beat this thing. Otherwise his name wouldn’t be Roger Cle….uh, Johnathan Joseph.
