Texans place LB Sharpton on IR

Found January 01, 2013 on Pro Sports Daily: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Darryl Sharpton,  Tim Dobbins,  Brooks Reed,  Mister Alexander
TEAMS: Houston Texans,  Cincinnati Bengals,  Indianapolis Colts
The Houston Texans placed linebacker Darryl Sharpton on injured reserve because of a hip injury, the Houston Chronicle reported on Tuesday. Houston takes on the Cincinnati Bengals in the first round of the AFC playoffs on Saturday. Sharpton was injured during Sunday's loss to the Indianapolis Colts. He began the season on the physically-unable-to-perform list because of a quad injury and started five of the final seven regular season games. The Texans have other injuries at linebacker. Tim Dobbins, who most likely would replace Sharpton, has an injured shoulder and Brooks Reed has a groin injury. Their playing status is not clear. The Chronicle reported that the Texans brought in linebacker Mister Alexander to take Sharpton's roster spot.

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...
