Tough going for the Texans this weekend as was stated above. If you were ever going to use the injury excuse this would be the time to do so but it didn't really show in the final score which I think says alot about the heart and coaching of this team. Gary Kubiak has assembled a terrific group of character guys and I think that will get them a long ways as they battle these injuries.
We lost:
-Starting C Steve McKinney to a torn acl. He's done for the year
-Ahman Green has a bone bruise on his knee and shouldn't have even been playing. Questionable for next weekend.
-Jacoby Jones suffered an AC seperation as he got drilled out of bounds by the punter who saved a punt return TD. He's out for 2-4 weeks.
-Andre Davis dislocated a finger and is day-to-day
-The big one was backup DL Cedric Killings who had to be taken off on a stretcher. He temporarily lost feeling in all his extremities but they expect him to walk out of the hospital in a few days which is wonderful.
Other then that, Ron Dayne remains banged up and is day-to-day and Andre Johnson isn't quite ready but should be good to go in week 5.
Samkon Gado will start at RB with Kevin Walters and at Jerome Mathis at WR against the Falcons.
I want to cry.
