Andre Johnson called NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell on Monday morning, before the league fined Houston's star receiver and Tennessee cornerback Cortland Finnegan $25,000 each for their fight a day earlier.
Johnson did not speak with Goodell, but left a message. Johnson said that Goodell called back and left a voicemail while the Texans were preparing to practice on Monday night.
''I just think that was something that I needed to do, just to communicate with him and let him know my side,'' Johnson said. ''I'll give him a call back and whenever we get a chance, we'll talk.''
Neither player was suspended after they slugged it out in the fourth quarter of Houston's 20-0 victory.
