Wilson: Andre Johnson on the mend

Although Houston Texans wide receiver Andre Johnson was held out of practice Wednesday due to a bruised lung, he insists that he'll play in Sunday's game against the Buffalo Bills.

“I feel like I’ll be out there unless they cut my leg off,” Johnson said.

Johnson coughed up blood when he awkwardly fell on the football against the San Francisco 49ers.

“To be honest, I didn’t know what it was,” Johnson said. “When I was on the ground spitting, I was like, ‘What’s wrong with me?’ It scared me a little because I’ve never had that happen.

“I did have some trouble breathing because I was kind of choking and spitting up blood. That’s when I fell to the ground. After I went to the sideline, I felt fine, and that’s why I felt like I could go back in."

Johnson is certain he'll make a speedy recovery.

"Right now, I’m not in any pain," he said. "I haven’t been in any pain. I feel fine. I feel normal. I’ll be out there."
