Houston ? Miami Dolphins quarterback Trent Green was taken to a Houston area hospital after sustaining a concussion during Miami’s 22-19 loss to the Texans.

Green, 37, returned to the locker room after the game, wearing a bandage behind his right ear. He planned to fly back to Miami with the team, coach Cam Cameron said, but is doubtful to play next week against Cleveland.

Cameron wouldn’t speculate on Green’s future beyond that.

“That will all work itself out,” Cameron said.

Green was sidelined for more than half of last season for the Kansas City Chiefs after sustaining a concussion in the opener.

He was hurt again Sunday after handing off to Ted Ginn Jr. The rookie fumbled, then picked the ball up and reversed field as the defense chased him.

Texans defensive tackle Travis Johnson hit Green in the head with his knee before Ginn was tackled. After the play, Johnson stood over Green and taunted him, drawing a 15-yard penalty. He later angrily accused Green of intentionally blocking him at the knees.

“It was a malicious hit. It was uncalled for,” Johnson said. “He’s like the scarecrow. He wants to get courage while I wasn’t looking and hit me in my knee instead of trying to hit me in my head.

“My knee ain’t never hurt like it hurt today. If you want to hit me, hit me in my head, hit me in my chest, don’t hit me in my knee. I’m trying to eat just like everybody else. So, to hit me like that, that showed me what type of man he was.”

Green wasn’t the only QB knocked out Sunday. Arizona lost Matt Leinart to a broken collarbone, and Kansas City’s Damon Huard gave way to Brodie Croyle after suffering a shoulder injury late in the Chiefs’ loss to Jacksonville.
