Andre Johnson won't practice, status unclear
Andre Johnson - WR - Houston Texans
Dec. 28, 2010 - 9:20 PM ET

Andre Johnson (ankle) will not participate in practice this week, and his status for Sunday's season finale remains up in the air.

Johnson's high-ankle sprain has worsened, with a new injury popping up around his Achilles tendon. Johnson, a Pro Bowl starter, is "leaning" toward skipping the festivities in February to avoid further injury to an ankle sprained in two places. "(The doctor) wanted my ankle to calm down a little bit because I have been banging it up for most of the season," Johnson said. "Right after the season sometime, I'll get it looked at again."
