The Facts: The fear is that Johnson may miss a few weeks, at least. "If we have to go without him for a period, we're going to have to ask some guys to really step up to the plate," coach Gary Kubiak said.

Diehards Line:According to CBSSports.com's Mike Freeman, some in the organization were privately saying they felt Johnson's chances of playing this week were extremely slim. But as Freeman, the interesting thing about the Texans is that after Johnson went out the team did exactly what Kubiak wanted. Everyone played better particularly the defense. If that Texans defense continues to play the way it did against Pittsburgh the Johnson injury won't be as crushing.
