Duke Johnson Dealing With Sprained Ankle
4 years agoHouston Texans running back Duke Johnson (ankle), who sprained his ankle in the Thursday night loss to the Chiefs, is now questionable for the team's Week 2 contest against the Ravens, according to a source. Johnson injured himself in the second half of the game and never returned, finishing with five carries for just 14 yards. It's definitely not the start he had in mind in his first game with the team. The 26-year-old was a late-round flier in PPR leagues with fantasy managers hoping that the Texans can make better use of him in the passing game than the Browns did. His practice participation next week will give us a better idea if he'll be able to return next week. If he can't, Buddy Howell would likely be David Johnson's backup against Baltimore.
