The Houston Texans will look to treat wide receiver Andre Johnson with kid gloves the rest of the way as the playoffs loom in a few weeks. Johnson was held out of practice this week in preparation for Thursday's game versus the Colts, and will not play. Owen Daniels was also held out of practice on Wednesday with lingering issues with his knee, and is questionable for Thursday.
If you're counting at home, that's possibly two targets for T.J. Yates who won't be suited up on Thursday.
