Andre Johnson is questionable


Houston Texans star wide receiver Andre Johnson is questionable with a high-ankle sprain that has bothered him for most of the season.
He didn't practice today, but plans to play Sunday against the Denver Broncos.
He underwent a magnetic resonance imaging exam earlier this week.
“We didn’t think that it could get any worse, and it’s gotten worse,” Johnson said in remarks distributed by the team. "Like I said, I’m just trying to do everything I can to make sure I can play on Sunday. I’ve been getting a shot the past few games, and I can still feel pain in there."
Johnson has been getting pain-killing shots during games.
"It’s only so much of it you can numb up, and they can’t numb up the joint," he said. "And that’s what’s really starting to bother me pretty bad now. You’re just trying to do all the treatment and stuff and then see how it feels. And if it feels good on Sunday, I’ll go. If not, then I won’t be out there."
Meanwhile, the Texans ruled out tight end Garrett Graham (hamstring).
The following players are probable: defensive end Mark Anderson (knee), offensive tackle Duane Brown (shoulder), linebacker Brian Cushing (knee, ankle and foot), running back Arian Foster (hip), defensive tackle Damione Lewis (illness), kicker Neil Rackers (right hamstring) and quarterback Matt Schaub (right elbow).
Several Broncos are questionable, including safeties David Bruton (ribs), Brian Dawkins (knee) and Darcel McBath (quadricep), running back Knowshon Moreno (ribs), quarterback Kyle Orton (ribs) and rookie wide receiver Demaryius Thomas (ankle).
The following players are probable: tight end Daniel Coats (finger) and wide receiver Eddie Royal (back).
