Found August 14, 2012 on MyTeamRivals.com: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Andre Johnson,  Brian Cushing,  Shaun Cody,  Gary Kubiak,  Earl Mitchell,  J.J. Watt
TEAMS: Houston Texans,  Carolina Panthers
7b
In what was widely viewed as a precautionary measure, the Houston Texans held WR Andre Johnson and ILB Brian Cushing out of last Saturday’s 26-13 preseason win against the Carolina Panthers. Johnson (groin pull) and Cushing (virus) had practiced in the days leading up to the Panther game, but since this is just the preseason, the Texans coaching staff decided to rest two of their star players. It’s now been revealed that both Johnson and Cushing will be active and play this upcoming Saturday against the San Francisco 49ers. Starting NT Shaun Cody however will not be as fortunate as he suffered a back injury during Saturday’s contest and is still in the evaluation process. The severity of Cody’s injured back is still undetermined, but it’s known to be a disk issue, which could wind up being a major cause for concern. When asked for an update by the media, head coach Gary Kubiak commented, “He’s got a disk issue. We’re still in an evaluation process. He received an epidural (for pain ...

Texans Injury to Shaun Cody a Bigger Deal Than Most Think

Via thepigskinreport.com  |  August 13, 2012
I remember prior to last season, Houston fans were ready, and hopeful, for defensive tackle Shaun Cody to be one of the cuts that new defensive coordinator Wade Phillips would implement. I’m not absolved from this, as I thought it was the right move along with letting draft bust Amobi Okoye go. But, as many already knew, Phillips kind of knows what he is doing out there. Still...

Via State of the Texans  |  August 14, 2012

They had 4 pass plays go for over 20 yards, and only one of these plays was made by a significant piece from the...

Do the Houston Texans strike you as a desperate kind of franchise? Do Gary Kubiak and Rick Smith seem like they need attention? Ever seen the Texans pull some stunt? No?
