Johnson (ankle) is probable for Sunday's game against the Titans, the Texans' official site reports.
Johnson, who practiced fully Friday, figures to see his share of looks once again in Week 8, having combined for 21 targets over his last two outings.

Quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick acknowledged a need to get Johnson (ankle) the ball more following Monday night's loss to the Steelers, CSN Houston reports. "My job is to get the ball to our play-makers and I didn't get it to Andre nearly enough early," Fitzpatrick said.
Indeed, Johnson was sitting at one catch for four yards after three quarters before he became a big target in the fourth. Head coach Bill O'Brien said Johnson was open throughout the game, while Fitzpatrick said the Steelers were doing some things to prevent the ball from getting to Johnson, but he also took some measure of the blame for the wideout's low-target numbers through three quarters.

Johnson (ankle) was limited at practice Wednesday, the Texans' official site reports.
More on Johnson's status in the coming days, but we suspect that the wideout's limitations Wednesday are maintenance-related, rather than indicative of any injury setbacks.

Johnson caught 5-of-9 targets for 77 yards in Monday's 30-23 loss to the Steelers.
Johnson had just one catch for four yards at the end of three quarters, but he finally got it going during a failed comeback bid. This kind of mediocre receiving line is becoming all to familiar for owners, as Johnson is stuck in a below-average offense, catching passes from Ryan Fitzpatrick. He also isn't quite getting the volume he did last season, averaging a still-lofty nine targets per game, down from 11.3 in 2013. Johnson is on track for a respectable 1,111 receiving yards on 89 receptions as the center of Fitzpatrick's attention, but his historical lack of touchdowns has become all the more problematic in the Texans' current offense. Houston has scored just 14 offensive touchdowns in seven games, with Arian Foster accounting for six of those.

Johnson, who tops the Texans with 34 catches and an average of 69.8 receiving yards through six games overall, recorded a season-high 99 yards in Week 6 against the Colts, while also finding the end zone for the first time this season.

Johnson (ankle) is listed as probable for Monday's game against the Steelers, the Houston Chronicle reports.
Johnson's availability for Monday was never in any serious jeopardy, but his ability to practice in full Saturday should ease any remaining concerns about the ankle. The veteran wideout found pay dirt for the first time in 2014 in Week 7, but fell one yard shy of his first 100-yard receiving effort.

Johnson (ankle) was limited at practice Friday, the Texans' official site reports.
We'll continue to track Johnson's status, but so far there is nothing to suggest that his availability for Monday's game against the Steelers is in any danger.

Johnson (ankle) was limited at practice Thursday, the Texans' official site reports.
More on Johnson's status in the coming days, but with no reported setbacks in Week 6, we suspect that the wideout's limitations Thursday are maintenance-related in advance of Monday's game against the Steelers.

Johnson caught 7-of-12 targets for 99 yards and a touchdown in Thursday's 33-28 loss to the Colts.
Johnson finally got his first touchdown of the season, but he also lost a fumble on his team's second-to-last drive. He's garnered a huge portion of QB Ryan Fitzpatrick's attention this season, accounting for 54 of his team's 161 targets (33.5%) through six games, albeit in an offense that heavily favors the run. Johnson should continue to be a consistent source of receptions, but big games will be hard to come by in this offense.

Johnson (ankle) is listed as active for Thursday's game against the Colts, the Texans' official site reports.
Though Johnson did not practice during the Texans' short week in advance of the contest, he'll give it a go Thursday and figures to see his share of Week 6 targets in the absence of any setbacks with his ankle. The veteran wideout also entered this past Sunday's game against Dallas with a questionable designation and managed to record five catches for 58 yards on eight targets.
