Houston Texans receiver Andre Johnson (ankle) was limited in practice on Thursday. He's been limited in numerous practices throughout the season and is expected to play against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Monday Night Football.

He’s fine. The Texans have been managing his reps at practice due to Johnson needing to be re-taped on occasion during games this season. He hasn’t seen his snap count take a hit and he’s coming off his best game of the year, catching his first touchdown to go with a season-high 99 yards.
Johnson hasn’t put up big numbers this season and it’s taken him a few games to get on the same page as quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick. The Steelers have been solid against the pass, but they have one of the softest schedules of any team with respect to high-powered passing games.
Fantasy impact: Andre should be in for a big game on Monday Night Football. The Pitt DBs won’t be able to cover him, making him a very strong WR2.
