Darryl Sharpton Lands on I.R.

Found January 01, 2013 on State of the Texans: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Darryl Sharpton,  Mister Alexander,  Tim Dobbins,  Bradie James,  Barrett Ruud
TEAMS: Houston Texans
According to multiple reports,   Texans placing ILB Darryl Sharpton (hip) on IR and re-signing Mister Alexander to replace him. Sharpton loss a blow to run defense. — John McClain (@McClain_on_NFL) January 1, 2013 With Sharpton landing on the injured reserve the Texans have brought back second year inside linebacker Mister Alexander. Darryl Sharpton was injured last season when he had a quadricep injury that landed him on injured reserve, and was out majority of training camp and the 2012 season rehabbing his injury. Sharpton provided some much-needed depth for a depleted inside linebacking group and played well in run support. With the playoffs coming, the Texans have suffered another blow to a defense that has been struggling of late. Tim Dobbins is also nursing a sore shoulder that is a reason for concern. Bradie James and Barrett Ruud are the only healthy inside linebackers for the Texans heading into the weekend. Could be yet a huge blow against this struggling defense.

Wild Card Weekend Picks

LAST WEEK: 11-5 REGULAR SEASON: 168-86-1 (66%) Def. The Texans have been really disappointing the last few weeks, but I don't see that continuing this week. Everyone knows that Schaub has been struggling, but Dalton hasn't been too sharp either. I think his struggles will outweigh Schaub's in this playoff game. Both of these rosters are very similar...
