Stephanie Stradley of the Houston Chronicle reports she was told through a trusted source that Texans wide receiver Andre Johnson received Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy.

She did not receiver confirmation from anyone with the team or his agent, given their stance that they are not going to comment on the specific procedure. She has no details of the injury other than what has been reported "a slight tear in his right hamstring."

Is this legal in the NFL?

Yes. You are using your own platelets, they're just redirected to a specific site.

It's no different that grafting an ACL from your own hamstring.

How long is he gonna be out for? My reeruned fantasy team sucks bad enough, if he's out, I'm screwed.

They are saying 3 weeks

Oh joy. :(

Texans are screwed without Johnson.

So am I. :grr:

Picked up his backup, though.
