Houston Texans wide receiver Andre Johnson is expected to miss three weeks after undergoing a minor medical procedure Tuesday, according to a report by Fox 26 Sports in Houston.

The report, which cited league sources, said Johnson had the procedure to "eliminate scar tissue to speed up the healing process related to his right hamstring."

Johnson went down without getting touched in the second quarter against Pittsburgh on Sunday, and did not return.

"You don't replace Andre," coach Gary Kubiak said Monday. "What you do is you've got to pick it up across the board, at other spots."

That includes Jacoby Jones, who Kubiak is hoping can fill in for Johnson as ably as Ben Tate did for Arian Foster this season.

Fox reached out to Johnson's agent, Kennard McGuire, who declined comment on the medical procedure.

"Andre is doing fine and he looks forward to being with his teammates soon," McGuire told Fox.

Information from The Associated Press was used in this report.
