The Houston Texans (To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 10 or greater.

Davis, Houston's top rusher for the last three seasons, has been out for a month with a bone bruise that is causing soreness in his knee.
Texans coach Gary Kubiak decided that putting him on injured reserve would be the right thing for the team, but isn't happy about the decision.
"He's done everything he can do," Kubiak said. "It's been disappointing for him and disappointing for everybody."
Davis, who has 3,195 yards and 23 touchdowns in three NFL seasons, said it was somewhat of a relief that a decision has been made and that he plans to continue his rehabilitation.
"It's sad I won't be here in light of what is going on, because I feel that the team is going to be very good this season," he said. "I'd love to be part of it, but right now I have to get myself together. I'm glad they supported me.
They felt good about what I have done in the past and what I can do."
Davis rushed for 976 yards last season despite missing six games before undergoing arthroscopic surgery (To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 10 or greater.
