Houston Texans wide receiver Andre Johnson will miss the team’s Christmas Eve matchup against the Indianapolis Colts.
It’s the second straight game that Johnson will miss after re-injuring a hamstring that has bothered him much of the year.
Without Johnson last week, the Texans took a big hit in a surprising loss at home to the Carolina Panthers.
The win very likely cost the Texans any chance at one of the top seeds in the AFC, a first-round bye and homefield advantage. (Read More…)

Houston Texans quarterback Matt Leinart is likely to miss the rest of the season with a shoulder injury.
Leinart just took over the starting quarterback job this week after Matt Schaub was diagnosed with a season-ending foot injury.
Losing Leinart will certainly hurt the Texans, who now must scramble to find a new starting quarterback.
For Leinart, it’s a tough break for a player who was finally getting a chance to show whether or not he has progressed into a quality quarterback.
Houston has now lost two quarterbacks and their star defensive end for the year while Andre Johnson missed two months with a hamstring injury.

The Houston Texans bounced back from last week’s tough loss to smash the host Tennessee Titans, 41-7.
Running back Arian Foster exploded for 115 yards rushing and 119 yards receiving to lead the Texans in both categories. He also scored three touchdowns.
Running back Ben Tate also got plenty of playing time, carrying the ball 15 times for 104 yards and showing that he is one of the top backups in the league.
Give the Houston defense a lot of credit for adjusting to life without Mario Williams and shutting down a Tennessee offense that has been surprisingly efficient. (Read More…)

Houston Texans running back Arian Foster left his team’s blowout preseason victory early yet again because of a hamstring injury.
The injury is not considered to be too serious and is just a re-aggravation of the hamstring injury he already suffered earlier in the preseason.
However, it has to be a slight concern that the one hamstring appears to on the verge of becoming a chronic injury, and the regular season is less than two weeks away.
Foster apparently isn’t happy with fantasy football fans who have been tweeting him to see if he is ok and still worth drafting in their leagues. (Read More…)

The Houston Texans have signed veteran tight end Owen Daniels to a four-year contract worth $22 million.
That’s an impressive deal for Daniels and a sign that the Texans believe he is fully recovered from his knee injury.
Daniels started off slow last year and never really looked completely like himself, although there were glimpses of the old tight end.
Players usually don’t make a full recovery from ACL surgery for a full two years, so Daniels could have a big 2011 season. (Read More…)

Houston Texans running back Arian Foster underwent minor arthroscopic surgery on his right knee.
Foster came out of virtually nowhere to lead the NFL in rushing in 2010. He rushed for over 1,600 yards and had 16 yards on the ground.
In the process, Foster set a number of franchise records.
The running back was said to already be walking again, so it seems like the procedure was a non-issue. (Read More…)

The Houston Texans have hired former Dallas Cowboys head coach Wade Phillips as their new defensive coordinator.
Phillips had a lot of success as a defensive coordinator with other teams in the past but has his work cut out for him in Houston.
The Texans had one of the worst pass defenses in the league and were third-worst in yards allowed.
Houston just recently fired their defensive coordinator and a number of defensive assistants and position coaches. (Read More…)

The Houston Texans finally finished off an opponent with a 34-17 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Running back Arian Foster capped an incredible season by rushing for 180 yards and two touchdowns.
The Texans were able to get the job done despite being without wide receiver Andre Johnson and defensive end Mario Williams.
Wideout Jacoby Jones had five catches for 70 yards while taking over the star role from Johnson. (Read More…)

Houston Texans fans are still waiting to end their playoff drought, and they think firing the head coach is the first step.
Many Houston fans have organized a rally that is designed to voice their displeasure over Gary Kubiak and demand that he be fired.
The demonstation will occur outside the stadium before Sunday’s season finale, though fans are encouraged not to bash the coach or bring profane signs.
Call me crazy, but I’m pretty sure he is going to be fired whether or not any type of rally takes place. (Read More…)

The Houston Texans looked like a tired and defeated team in a 31-17 loss to the Tennessee Titans.
Coming off a disheartening overtime loss on a short week, the Texans did not look ready to play.
The secondary that has struggled so much this year allowed Kerry Collins to throw all over them in the first half.
The run defense wasn’t all that much better, surrendering 130 yards on the ground to Chris Johnson. (Read More…)
