(Reuters) ? Five-time Pro Bowl receiver Andre Johnson will miss the Houston Texans' game against the Tennessee Titans on Sunday because of a lingering hamstring injury, the National Football League team said on Friday.
It will be the 30-year-old's third straight game on the sidelines since he was injured during the second quarter of Houston's 17-10 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers on October 2.
"Obviously, Andre is not where he needs to be right now, but he's doing well, doing very well," Texans' coach Gary Kubiak told the team's website (houstontexans.com).
"He was catching balls today from (rookie quarterback) T.J. (Yates) and running routes. It's very impressive where he's at right now, but there's still a little other step for him to take before we're comfortable."
Johnson, who had minor surgery on his right leg on October 4, said: "This is probably the greatest amount of progress I've made over the past couple of days, from Monday until today.
"I'm not 100 percent, but very happy about the way I feel. After what I did today, it just lets me know that everything is headed in the right direction."
One of the premier receivers in football, Johnson led the NFL in receiving yards in 2008 and 2009.
