Texans WR Johnson makes key catch on hurt ankle

Texans receiver Andre Johnson will have an MRI exam on his sprained right ankle after injuring it Sunday, leaving the game, then returning to make a tying, fourth-down touchdown catch late in the fourth quarter of Houston's 30-27 victory over the Washington Redskins.
''We're going to go in, look and see what we cheap nfl jerseys
find. I don't think it's nothing real bad, because the ankle didn't swell up on me since I played on it,'' Johnson said. ''I think I should be fine.''
Johnson limped off the field late in the third quarter after getting his foot turned one way while his body went the other getting hit as he grabbed a pass.
''I was a little discouraged. I was running around on the sideline. Wasn't feeling too good at first,'' Johnson said.
But he got his ankle heavily taped, then was back in the lineup in the fourth quarter.
Johnson finished with 12 catches for 158 yards, including a 34-yard touchdown reception on 49ers jersey
fourth-and-10 with 2:03 left in regulation that made the score 27-27.
''They came and told me he was done. He had a pretty good ankle (injury). I think we were down by seven and they were fixing to kick a field goal at that time, so it didn't look good. We block the field goal. He had them re-tape him. He walked over to me and said 'I'm playing,''' Texans coach Gary Kubiak said. ''He tells me he's playing, he's playing.''
Defensive lineman Albert Haynesworth was inactive for the Washington Redskins' game against the Houston Texans on Sunday because of a sprained ankle.
Haynesworth hurt his ankle - the Redskins aren't saying which one - in practice Wednesday, the latest setback in an eventful several months for the two-time All-Pro.
''He tested his ankle and wasn't able to go,'' coach Mike Shanahan said.
Haynesworth played as a backup in the Redskins' victory over the Dallas Cowboys in Week 1, following an offseason and preseason in which he had disputes with Shanahan over the team's defensive scheme, conditioning workouts and playing time.
Also inactive for Washington was safety Kareem Moore, who's been sidelined since the Saints jersey
preseason with a sprained right knee.
Texans cornerback Antwaun Molden was out for the second consecutive game with an injured ankle.
