Houston, TX (Best E Casino) - Houston Texans wide receiver Andre Johnson left Saturday morning's practice after pulling up lame on a deep pass pattern.

Johnson favored his left groin and limped off the field in noticeable pain while team trainers tended to the two-time Pro Bowl selection.

"That's the worst nightmare for a coach," Texans head coach Gary Kubiak said after witnessing Johnson's injury. "Any player going down, but a guy like him getting hurt it's part of football, unfortunately, and there's not a play that you don't hold your breath in all honesty. You just got to keep pushing through and hope for the best and hopefully it's our time to stay healthy. We've been pretty fortunate through this camp. Keep our fingers crossed with him and see what happens."

Johnson missed seven games last year with a knee injury that eventually required offseason arthroscopic surgery.

Johnson hauled in a league-best 103 passes for 1,147 yards and five touchdowns in 2006.

In 70 career games with the Texans, Johnson holds franchise records with 371 receptions for 4,804 yards and 25 touchdowns.

The Texans selected Johnson out of the University of Miami with the third overall pick in 2003 draft.
