There are certain players, on certain teams, that can cause a panic any time they miss a snap in camp.
Texans wide receiver Andre Johnson is one of those players.
John McClain of the Houston Chronicle reported that Johnson “suffered a slight groin injury,” and was taken out of practice. He said coach Gary Kubiak termed it a “precaution.”
McClain followed with an item that said Johnson walked off the field with a “slight limp.”
Asked about his injury, Johnson replied: “I don’t know. I’m going to get it checked out.”
Johnson missed nine games last year, as well as OTAs and minicamp after undergoing arthroscopic surgery on his left knee.
Beyond Johnson and Kevin Walter, the Texans have precious little experience at the position. They resigned Bryant Johnson last week, but are counting on Lestar Jean and a cast of other kids without an NFL catch behind them.
