HOUSTON, Oct. 5 (UPI) -- Houston wide receiver Andre Johnson had his right hamstring repaired and will be out for an indefinite period, Texans Coach Gary Kubiak said Wednesday.

The procedure to prevent scar tissue from forming around a minor tear in the hamstring took place Tuesday, the Houston Chronicle reported earlier.

Johnson was hurt in Houston's win over Pittsburgh Sunday. He had four receptions for 36 yards before leaving the game.

In four games for the 3-1 Texans this season, he has 25 catches for 352 yards and two touchdowns. Johnson has totaled 52 touchdowns and 9,516 yards for Houston since 2003.

Houston is at home against Oakland Sunday.
