The Houston Texans will be heading to Maryland to take on the Baltimore Ravens in the divisional round of the 2012 NFL Playoffs. The Texans will be looking to avenge an early season loss to the Ravens, but it was a loss where the Texans were missing their best player in wide receiver Andre Johnson. Johnson dealt with a hamstring injury for much of the season, but by all accounts he's feeling no ill-effects from last weeks victory over the Cincinnati Bengals. Against the Bengals, Johnson was targeted nine times and hauled in five catches for 90 yards including a 40-yard touchdown catch.
AFC Divisional Playoffs, Texans Vs. Ravens: Andre Johnson Expected To Be At Full Strength
According to Nick Scurfield of HoustonTexans.com, Johnson showed no ill-effects in his second game back from the injury.
Kubiak said Andre Johnson's play count was in the mid-40s on Saturday and he "came out of the game fine." #Texans

Johnson being fully healthy will be a big key for the Texans if they want to upset the Ravens and pick up their second playoff victory in franchise history.
