Texans star wide receiver Andre Johnson will sit out Thursday night's game against the Colts because of a strained left hamstring.
Johnson, who will miss his ninth game this season, was sidelined for six straight games earlier in the year with a right hamstring injury that required surgery.
Houston coach Gary Kubiak said Tuesday that Johnson is "very close" to returning to practice, but isn't quite ready.
