Johnson & Mendenhall Lead The Next Round of Injuries

We’ll get the full run of players on Monday morning (those that can’t be hidden, of course), but fantasy owners will anxiously be monitoring the injury statuses of Andre Johnson and Rashard Mendenhall as Week 5 approaches.

Mendenhall didn’t run particularly well against the Texans in limited opportunities. He did, however, score the Steelers’ lone touchdown before departing. Go make an early claim on Isaac Redman, who has run well in relief of Mendenhall through the first four weeks.

Johnson, on the other hand, left fans edging up to the front of their seats when he crumpled to the ground without being hit after securing a catch. Initially, the dreaded A … C …. started floating in my head. It was later deemed a hamstring “pull,” with an MRI pending for Monday.

Check back on the Dome for further updates as they come available.
