Johnson sat out last week's workouts as a precaution after a "mild strain" of his groin on July 29. Johnson took about 20 repetitions Monday morning and said afterward that he felt no discomfort while running routes.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

Brown hurt his left leg last Wednesday. The starter at left tackle for the past four seasons, Brown took his regular allotment of reps Monday morning.

 

HOUSTON -- Houston Texans star receiver Andre Johnson, cornerback Kareem Jackson and left tackle Duane Brown have all returned to practice after sustaining minor injuries last week.

 

Jackson strained his left hamstring a week ago. Coach Gary Kubiak says Jackson took "half the reps" in the morning and looked fine.

 

The Texans open preseason play against the Carolina Panther on Saturday.

 

Wish them a best performance.
