Houston Texans head coach Gary Kubiak would not rule out his star wide receiver, Andre Johnson, for Sunday's game against the Cleveland Browns, but Johnson's availability doesn't look promising through Thursday.
Kubiak suggested that Johnson was sore after an intense workout earlier in the week, and that's why he has missed two straight days of practice this week, but intense workouts are a little different than football action -- Johnson hasn't played since he was injured over a month ago on October 2. Johnson is expected to practice on Friday, though, and will probably be a game-time decision.
