Houston Texans wide receiver Andre Johnson incapacitated his groin during Saturday morning repetition.
Johnson, who suffered the grievance while running a pass path, said he expected will be on a day-to-day basis.
I didnt feel anything pop or anything like that, Johnson said. I just felt it tense up real body-hugging on me. When I felt that, I just slowed down. Ill get dealing for a few days and Ill be fine.
Texans head tutor Gary Kubiak was not more or less as optimistic near Johnson, who has missed 10 games over the last three due to injuries.
Nobody requests to see him gimping around, Kubiak said. Well get in there and get him looked at, and well keep our and optimistically its nothing.
Johnson, 27, hauled in 60 receptions for team of 851 yards and touchdowns last period despite AWOL seven games due to a knee wound. The 6-3 Miami aboriginal hopes to avoid additional long-term damage this term.

Mike Holmgren said what more or less 10,000 fans had just seen.
“This was a unimportant different scrimmage than we’ve had in the past,” Holmgren said Saturday, after his 10th and ultimate training camp scrimmage as Seahawks trainer.
It’s by now been a trivial different kind of summer for Seattle.
Quarterback Matt Hasselbeck was in for three plays Saturday and then the only full-scale scrimmage before games open Friday at Minnesota.
That’s fine with him. At this occurrence last year, Hasselbeck wondered when and if he’d be allowed at all to play at in the preseason because he was coming off surgery to his non- carry following the 2006 spell.
Now, Hasselbeck seems to be one of the few wholly beneficial Seahawks prepared for the tin opener in five weeks.
Fellow Pro Bowl Walter Jones and Patrick Kerney sat out the scrimmage. So did layer Chris Spencer. All had shoulder operations in the offseason.
Pro Bowl Lofa Tatupu mainly took part in perception drills only Saturday because he’s already up. Wide heir Deion Branch was also on the sidelines as a bystander. The former Super Bowl MVP is coming off reconstructive knee surgery and may not be back for the bottle opener Sept. 7 at Buffalo.
Starting defensive equipment Marcus Tubbs is still out subsequent foremost knee surgery, though he may be back on the method field next week. Defensive line neighbor Rocky Bernard is coming off surgery for a double hernia and watched most of Saturday’s . Veteran defensive outfit Larry Tripplett, signed for depth, was out with a leg wrong. Rookie quarter-round pick Red Bryant, foreseeable to back up Bernard, had knee surgery Friday and confirmed he will miss a .
Even client Ryan Plackemeier, remained out with a torn pectoral muscle he wounded lifting . After Reggie Hodges, once upon a time the St. Louis Rams’ listener, good on Saturday, Holmgren said Plackemeier has a side confrontation waiting for his proceeds in a couple of .
“We kept a lot of guys out in the scrimmage because we sincerely sought to look at some community that were competing for perchance not starting positions, but certainly the depth of making the rugby ball team,” Holmgren said. “So in fairness to those babyish guys, we set it up a particular way.”
T.J. Duckett used to sit out with associated stars at scrimmages like this when he was the lead candidate in Atlanta a few an inordinate length of time ago. But there was the seventh-year old hand, tying learner seventh-round draft special Justin Forsett for most carries on Saturday with nine. Duckett, from Detroit as a free agent last decline, 25 yards on those runs and caught two . The undersized but unwavering Forsett gained 51 – including 33 on a reduction run across the entire field.
When if he felt uncanny to be on the field among so many and undrafted free , Duckett and said, “I feel like every time you step on the field you have a little to grow.”
So does Charlie Frye. The fourth-year past master was in Cleveland 11 months ago, then became the first starting quarterback to be without further ado after Week 1 since the NFL-AFL unification in 1970. Saturday, Frye took lead of the most chances he’s had as Seattle’s third-row passer to complete 11 of 18 for 143 yards and three touchdowns.
Holmgren is using the to form if he can trust Frye enough to free No. 2 quarterback Seneca Wallace to play earphones and revenue kicks without fear of down him to injury.
After Frye’s day Saturday, Holmgren said: “I want to know him on the mend.”
One of Frye’s touchdown passes was to Duckett on a 7-yard slap pass. Duckett juked one reserve defender then through one more at the goal line.
Holmgren is still irritating to total out how he wants to use the tank-like Duckett in Seattle’s completely running game. The coach has previously declared that Julius Jones and Maurice Morris will be co-.
“I’m the biggest back we’ve got. Hopefully, I bring some power,” said the 254-quid Duckett.
But he often runs more like a – kaleidoscopic and to the outside. Saturday, he was clogged double for no gain inside on sharp-yardage downs, though Holmgren not to read much into that because the and laborers will change when the games count.
“You kind of get the sympathy that Duckett’s existing to be a load,” Holmgren said.
