Makes Houston debut Johnson played five snaps and was not targeted in Sunday's 17-10 loss to the Titans in Week 8. Impact Johnson made his debut for the Texans, who scooped him off waivers last week after he was cut from the Raiders' practice squad. With Nico Collins (groin) sidelined, there was a need for a depth body at wideout. Houston head coach Lovie Smith said Collins should return soon, but he was not clear if that meant in time for Thursday's game against the Eagles. That could give Johnson more time in the active lineup. Another moving part is Brandin Cooks, who's been the subject of recent trade rumors ahead of Tuesday's trade deadline. If the Texans trade Cooks and/or Collins isn't ready, Johnson would retain a role among an uninspiring group of wideouts.
