08:05 AM ET 07.30 | To be clear, it's a healthy Houston team that the experts like. About the last thing the Texans want to find out this season is how much they will miss receiver Andre Johnson if they don't have him. Yet, Sunday morning, not quite three practices in, Johnson was the source of the first official training-camp scare when he suffered yet another setback, this time pulling his right groin. It was the fourth injury he has suffered since the fourth game last fall and his fifth going back to the 2010 season. Suddenly, Lestar Jean, DeVier Posey and Keshawn Martin found themselves a heartbeat away from Matt Schaub's huddle kicking off a season for which the locker-room mantra seems to be "Super Bowl or bust."

If they sign him to another contract, they will extend Johnson.

With these issues, I'm not sure that a Johnson extension is warranted.

No surprise here. Johnson is always one step away from the IR. A tremendous talent but injury prone more than most WRs.

A lot of receivers seem to get soft tissue injuries in pre-season. You would think their teams would get wise and hire a good conditioning coach to work on this.

How is someone so athletic and muscular always hurt? A pulled groin? Guess he was playing a lot of XBOX on the couch over the off season.

Especially if they rush it and try to insert him back in too quickly.
