Here's an AP article worth reading. In part...
I thought it was 50/50 that Spencer would be able to start the season, not 50/50 that he could play at all.
The Texans thought they'd found their left tackle of the future in the third round of last year's draft when they chose the gargantuan Charles Spencer. He looked promising early before breaking his leg in Week 2. Coach Gary Kubiak said Spencer's injury was one of the biggest disappointments of last year's 6-10 season and there's only about a 50 percent chance the 6-foot-4, 350-pound player will be healthy enough to play this season.
Houston signed former Kansas City tackle Jordan Black to help fill that hole if Spencer can't play and the team isn't able to add someone in the draft.
"We've had some signings that have taken pressure off of our football team on draft day," Kubiak said. "I know everybody here is concerned about a left tackle; we're obviously concerned about Spencer."
Still Kubiak insists the team will take the best player available regardless of position with its top pick.
"You don't want to reach on draft day," he said. "As a football team you don't ever want to feel like you're in a position where you reach on a player because of a position and you're wrong."
