I agree with Hoth. I know it hasn't been very long, but this guy has FANS. People who care about his health, the Texans should make it a priority to inform the fans of the specifics.

Might have to do with the bye week, seems the only news the official site has is about the cheerleaders, maybe everyone has some time off, and we will get an update soon.

Look I have no problem with taking the gamble. If we're talking about redoing his deal and moving the cap number back into '10 or 11, you got my vote. But with his high number...they got to do something this off season. I also have no problem with them cutting the cord taking the cap hit now while they can afford it and going after Aasnte Samuels.

And untill I hear other wise, no news means this is Bosselli II untill I see him on the field and hitting it full bore.

Isn't that doctor/patient confidential stuff?
I know that is I were a player, I would not want my FO to blurb on about how I'm this and that, and I'm not even sure they're allowed to do this anymore.

Cornerback Dunta Robinson's injuries aren't career-threatening, but they were severe enough to put a timetable for his return from nine months to a year.

Robinson underwent surgery to repair a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee and to attach a torn hamstring in his right leg. Dr. James Andrews performed the surgery in Birmingham, Ala. Robinson won't be able to return to Houston for 10 to 12 days after the surgery.

"The initial phase of the ACL rehabilitation is conservative," said head athletic trainer Kevin Bastin, who has consulted with Andrews. "The good news is that there was no cartilage damage. It was also very encouraging that he (Andrews) put the hamstring right back where it was torn, which is good."

Well, nine months puts it to next August, meaning he misses training camp, so all things considered, he more than likely will be IR'd for 2008.

No mention of what Ahman found out in AL. I'd like to hear about that as well.

What, did you guys expect anything different?

Here you go:

(on CB Dunta Robinson) “The surgery went well. He’s in Alabama. He will not be allowed to come back here for probably for 10-12 days. So the surgery was, when, Thursday I think, so he’s going to be there for a while. But he is doing fine and everything went fine.”

(on if he has a long-term prognosis for CB Dunta Robinson) “No, I really don’t. I just know that he’s in for, this is a long-haul deal. I mean, this is going to take some time. It’s an ACL-plus and ACL’s an automatic six months, so this is going to be a major injury for him to overcome but he’s a hard worker and they felt good about the repair and so we’ll get him started rehabbing as quick as possible.”

you never know with the Texans and their track record on reporting of injuries

[Hardcore Texan]

As long has he makes a full recovery, that's all we can hope for at this point. If he does he will still have a long career ahead of him. Time to buy a hypoberic chamber.

I think Dunta has everyone's (and not just Texans fans) best wishes and I'm hopefull we'll get to see the guy make a full recovery.

It's going to be tough on him, but if it's any consolation, Dr. Andrews is the doctor that repaired and helped rehab Drew Brees's torn labrum (on his throwing shoulder no less) in the 2006 offseason. No one thought he would be ready to go for the season and he made it back for TC, so hopefully if Dunta stays committed to his rehab - and I'm sure he will - he can make it back sooner that expected as well.

Best of luck to him.

During their week off, the Texans sent Green to Birmingham, Ala., to be examined by Dr. James Andrews.

"The good news is that they didn't find anything else," head athletic trainer Kevin Bastin said. "He's got some tendinitis in his knee, and he took a blow to it. We're hopeful that he's turned the corner."

Green has missed three games. He hasn't finished the others after being injured in the opener against Kansas City. He returned against Oakland and caught a 53-yard screen pass and scored on a 7-yard touchdown before he was forced to leave midway through the second quarter.

"We're going to continue monitoring what he can tolerate and how he reacts from day to day," coach Gary Kubiak said. "We'll keep the same plan, which is for him to work a little on Thursday, a little on Friday and be ready to go on game day.

"If something alters that and he doesn't think he can go, then we'll have to make adjustments, but that's the way we're going to treat it the rest of the year."

Just was listening to McClain talk about this on 610. I guess my head has been elsewhere but he mentioned starting him on PUP in 2008 and then having a fully mentally and physically healthy Dunta in 2009. I really didn't know the extent of recovery.Lets hope he is a recovery stud.

If that is indeed what happens, that is very bad news. Unlike the Spencer situation, Dunta was already a player that was relied upon. It isn't just the "loss of a possible positive" but a definite subtraction to the team.

Just reporting from McClain..didn't have the contract info. I'm sure they will try and wrap him up and his recovery will affect free agency for him. I'm assuming the question is will he play after the initial PUP
