Houston Texans WR Andre Johnson was fined $25,000 for his fight with Tennessee Titans CB Cortland Finnegan on Sunday, but will not be suspended. Finnegan was fined the same amount, and given Finnegan’s reputation, it’s no surprise Johnson was not suspended. Johnson has been a model citizen since entering the league, so he gets a [...]

Houston Texans QB Matt Schaub returned to practice Thursday after dealing with a bursa sac problem on Tuesday. Coach Gary Kubiak stated he expects Schaub to start Sunday against the Jets, barring a setback in practice. We still don’t like Schaub’s matchup this week, but at least it looks like he dodged a bullet for [...]

Houston Texans Coach Gary Kubiak stated QB Matt Schaub had to be hospitalized Tuesday night with a bursa sac problem in his knee. It’s hard to believe Kubiak’s statement that Schaub did not need surgery, but at this point we have to take him for his word. His status for this Sunday’s game against the [...]

Houston Texans TE Owen Daniels (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday’s game against Jacksonville. Joel Dreessen will draw the start for the Texans in a game that figures to showcase quite a bit of offense. Daniels currently has no timetable to return from his hamstring injury.

Houston Texans TE Owen Daniels (hamstring) will be a game-time decision, according to Coach Gary Kubiak. Daniels isn’t worth starting at less than 100%, so look elsewhere this week for tight end options. Houston goes up against San Diego’s #1 ranked pass defense on Sunday.

Houston Texans LB Brian Cushing will move to middle linebacker to replace DeMeco Ryans (Achilles). Kevin Bentley will replace Cushing on the strong-side. Cushing’s value should go up, as he is in a more tackle-friendly position in the middle. Ryans underwent surgery Monday to repair his torn Achilles’ tendon.

Houston Texans LB DeMeco Ryans suffered a torn Achilles’ tendon and will miss the remainder of the season, according to Coach Gary Kubiak. Ryans is a LB1 in IDP leagues and his loss will be a huge blow to the Texans’ team defense. Daryl Sharpton or Zac Diles will likely take over at middle linebacker, [...]

Houston Texans WR Jacoby Jones (calf) expects to return to the lineup Sunday, despite missing practice Wednesday and Thursday. Jones declared himself a “10″ on a scale of 1-10, so we’re expecting him to return to the practice field Friday and the game field Sunday. He’s still too inconsistent to count on in fantasy, but [...]

Houston Texans WR Andre Johnson (ankle) put in a limited practice on Friday and is expected to play Sunday against the Giants. The Texans play at 1PM ET this week, so owners will know ahead of time whether Johnson is active for the game or not, as opposed to last week. We’re expecting Johnson to [...]

Houston Texans WR Jacoby Jones (calf) is expected to be a game-time decision this week. Jones left the Texans’ Week 4 win with a strained calf, and is expected to be week-to-week. Andre Johnson is expected to return this week, eliminating any concerns with the Texans’ passing game.
