"Receiver Andre Johnson was unable to practice again Thursday, but he worked out with trainer Geoff Kaplan.

For the second day in a row, Johnson did a lot of running. He'll run again Friday, then talk it over with coach Gary Kubiak before they decide about his playing against the Buccaneers on Sunday at Tampa Bay.

"I'm almost full speed," Johnson said. "Everything's been going pretty positive. I'm excited about it. I feel pretty good. I'm going to run again (Friday), and we'll see what happens from there. I'll see how it feels to make sure I'm comfortable.

"A decision hasn't been made. Me and coach Kubiak will talk about it and go from there. I think everybody was impressed with the way I was moving compared to the other times they've seen me run."

Johnson said he no longer feels a pull on the back of his hamstring when he runs."
