Houston Texans stud wide receiver Andre Johnson will make his return Sunday against the AFC South rival Tennessee Titans. Johnson participated in practice on Monday and has competed in just six games this season, amassing 31 receptions for 471 yards and two touchdowns. "When they tell me he can go, he’s going,” Texans coach Gary Kubiak told the Houston Chronicle. “It’s been a process. They’ve been working with him off the field, trying to get him ready to turn him over to me and put him on the field. ... If it happens, it’ll be early next week." Houston, which has dropped two straight games, has qualified for its first postseason in franchise history.
