Texans Starting Guard Brisiel Sprains MCL

The Houston Texans’ starting right guard, Mike Brisiel, will be out for some time with a medial collateral ligament sprain in his right knee during the Giants  win over the Texans at Reliant Stadium on Sunday.  Brisiel was seen on crutches after the game.  Head coach Gary Kubiak said Brisiel’s injury is the team’s most important injury as of now, and he will be examined today.  Antoine Caldwell will likely replace Brisiel on the line. Cornerback Sherrick McMannis (hamstring) and wide receiver Dorin Dickerson (knee) also suffered injuries in the Texans loss Sunday.
