The former Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver, acquired off waivers by the Texans before the first game of the season, is a healthy scratch for his third consecutive game since joining the team.
“He’s making progress,” Texans coach Lovie Smith said days before kickoff. When you come onboard a little bit later, you just start the process as much as anything. Somethings you have to wait a little bit longer for your opportunity based on what’s happening with the other guys at the position. He’s progressing and eventually well get him up on the roster and he’ll be able to play, eventually.”
Johnson caught 12 passes for 169 yards and two touchdowns as a rookie. Johnson has 48 career receptions for 529 yards and two touchdowns. He’s a former fifth-round draft pick from Minnesota. Allen was signed to a one-year, $2.5 million contract with a maximum value of $3 million during the offseason. He played in two games last season and completed 12 of 19 passes for 120 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions. He rushed for 11 yards on two carries.
