Texans' David Johnson working toward return from concussion

preview

Texans veteran running back David Johnson is eligible to be designated for return from injured reserve, and the team is expected to launch his 21-day practice window to be activated.Because Johnson is feeling much better after absorbing a concussion on a hit from Jaguars linebacker Myles Jack in a Nov. 8 win at Jacksonville, he is expected to practice. If he clears the NFL concussion protocol, then he can be activated to help out a dismal running game."Well, he's made progress," Texans interim coach Romeo Crennel said Monday. "This week, we'll see if we get to practice, we'll see what he can do and then hopefully he'll be well enough to help us out."Since was placed on injured reserve, Duke &nbsp;has been the starter and has rushed for a combined 157 yards on 49 carries for an average of 3.2 yards per run.Duke Johnson rushed for 37 yards on nine carries in Thursday's win over at Detroit and caught three passes for 43 yards, including a 33-yard touchdown."I think he showed Thursday that he has the ability to make some tough catches down the field," Crennel said. "That one he made down the field was an unbelievable catch. It was really a good catch. Receivers make those kind of catches. Duke has had that ability since I've worked with him."It's not just swing passes. He runs routes. He knows routes. He knows how to run vs. DBs and linebackers. He is a good help to us because of those abilities and that skill set."More Texans News
