Earlier today, we learned that Andre Johnson would miss the Pro Bowl. No reason was given as to why 'Dre would be missing the NFL's annual All-Star Game.
Until now. Thanks to Mark Berman for finding out why 'Dre will not be in Honolulu:
Andre Johnson will not play in Pro Bowl because of wrist injury that's healing according 2his uncle, Andre Melton. Surgery was not necessary

Andre Johnson's uncle, Andre Melton, says his nephew played w/hurt wrist 4 final 4 games,essentially playing w/1 hand but didn't tell anyone

Oh, 'Dre. I swoon anew at your toughness, though the Texans (2-10 at the time) likely would have gladly shut you down with four games remaining if you'd told them you were hurt. Here's to a speedy and full recovery this offseason.
