The Houston Texans organization is holding its collective breath Sunday after wide receiver Andre Johnson went down with an apparent knee injury on Sunday.

Johnson went down untouched, writhing on the field in serious pain. It reminded us so much of Wes Welker’s injury on the same turf in Houston’s Reliant Stadium two seasons ago.

A.J. was ultimately able to walk to the locker room under his own power, but that doesn’t tell us much. The Texans can only hope now that Johnson’s injury isn’t as bad as it looked.

UPDATE: The Texans are calling the injury a hamstring problem. For now.
