Andre Johnson’s response to the initial two questions directed his way Monday: No comment.

Was he wasted as an offensive asset during the Texans’ 31-21 defeat to the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday at NRG Stadium? Was the veteran wide receiver used as a decoy?

“No comment,” Johnson said.

A four-and-a-half minute interview didn’t get any brighter, except when the soft-spoken Johnson joked where he planned to spend his off days during a bye week.

“I just need to go to like an island or something,” Johnson said.

Asked about Eagles cornerback Cary Williams’ postgame comments that Johnson appeared disengaged Sunday, the receiver said he was doing what he normally does during a game.

“I’m trying to help the team win,” Johnson said. “But I only can do what I can do. I can’t control everything. I only can control what I can. That’s it. I can’t block. I can’t cover guys. I can’t throw the ball. All I can do is run routes and try to get open and catch the ball.”

Has Johnson been open and not been receiving the ball?

“I don’t know,” he said. “You watched the game.”

Johnson said he’s frustrated because the Texans are losing and he’s aware of his talent at his position.

“It is what it is,” Johnson said.

Does he see a light at the end of the tunnel?

“I don’t know,” Johnson said. “We’ll see.”

Will he address his situation with Texans coach Bill O’Brien?

“I don’t really think there’s much to talk about,” said Johnson, who added that a quarterback change is out of his control.

As for Williams questioning his effort and intensity Sunday?

“Maybe they see something I don’t see,” Johnson said.

The receiver acknowledged the Texans “should be better” than 4-5 and again said consistency has been the biggest struggle this season.

Four off days will give No. 80, the best player in franchise history, a break from another frustrating season.

“Get far away from here,” said Johnson, referring to his bye-week plans.
