In the end, it was much ado about nothing. “He’s fine,” HC Gary Kubiak said after the Texans' Tuesday afternoon practice. “He dislocated his finger, obviously, so we took him to the hospital this morning. He’s back, has it bandaged up and probably is going to miss a day or two of practice until we make sure there’s no infection and it calms down. He’s fine. He’s going to be OK.”

Johnson was injured in the morning when a pass hit the tip of his finger. He attended the Texans’ indoor afternoon practice but did not participate. “It’ll just be a couple of days, because my bone broke the skin,” Johnson said. “I didn’t have to get any stitches or anything like that. (As) soon as I felt it pop, I felt it out of place and I popped it right back in. I didn’t know the bone had broke the skin until I took my glove off, so I really wasn’t in a lot of pain or anything like that. It was just more concern about the bleeding. ...” Johnson also reminded us all that he played the bulk of last season with a high-ankle sprain. Go ahead and assume this injury will not be an issue of interest come Week 1.
