HOUSTON (AP) — Andre Johnson missed several games this season dealing with injuries to both hamstrings.
The star receiver got healthy just in time to help Houston beat Cincinnati in the first round of the playoffs.
He had 90 yards receiving, including a 40-yard touchdown — his first since Sept. 18 — in the 31-10 win.
Now he’s feeling even better and hopes to do more on Sunday against the Ravens and their stingy defense.
After playing for many years in relative obscurity on losing Texans teams, Johnson is excited to play in a game that “everybody is watching.”
He says he’s happy to be healthy and hopes to “go out and show people what type of player I am.”
The 30-year-old Johnson missed nine regular-season games with injuries this season.
