Brooks Reed out 3-4 weeks according to Bleacherreport flash news.
More info when I recieve it. Pulled Groin.
I thought Kubiak said they won't know until Monday?
Two words: Bleacher Report.
Move along... nothing to see.
ChampionTexan just post a link to NFL.com
Greg Rosenthal reports it
By the way he's played this season I wouldn't have even known he's been active this entire time. Next man up.
Link is in Allan Ball's thread. I don't know how to do it from my phone.
LINKThe Houston Texans defense continues to take big hits. NFL.com's Albert Breer reports Brooks Reed will miss 3-4 weeks with a groin injury. He won't require surgery.

LOL.
Funny. But it's kinda cruel to kick the guy when he's down.

Don't mean to do that. I like Brooks, he just hasn't brought his game this year. At the least i see Barwin making some contributions in other areas, where Brooks Reed just sort of fades into the dust on most of his plays. Those who have been asking for more Mercilus time are about to get it.
Folks have been asking for more Merciless and Braman, they're fixing to get it.

Braman may have the best edge speed of any of the olbs. I think the Texans lose something versus the run but may get a better pass rush with Mercilus and Braman.
If you've ever pulled a groin, you know 3 to 4 weeks is a conservative estimate.
And then of course since he can't run during that period, he will lose his conditioning. Maybe with a bye week he'll be ready to go in the playoffs which would be mid-January.
3-4 weeks is good news, when I first saw it I thought it was season-threatening. Hopefully he's back for games 15 or 16 and he's full speed by playoff-time.

Reed could be out up to 6 weeks. Even if it takes that long, he should be back for the playoffs. #Texans
So will Houston have three new starting LB's with Reed, Dobbins and James all possibly being out? How will Merciless, Rudd & Sharpton do filling in?
t.i don't know what the big deal is, i pulled my groin just yesterday... For a good half hour. Felt amazing.

From where he grabbed, he evidently has suffered an adductor muscle tear. As much acute pain that he demonstrated, it will not be a minor 1st degree tear. It is either a 2nd degree tear or 3rd degree complete rupture. I would be surprised if this is not at least a 4+ week recovery. In one study, as high as 40 % of players with this more severe degree of injury have not been able to see the field by the 20th week. We will know more after an MRI.
I had my groin pulled by a white woman last night.
It's time unleash the WTAMU Buffalo: Braman.
I saw what you posted yesterday and honestly trust your view points even without the official statementsIDEXAN, I would tend to agree with your synopsis. What I posted immediately after it happened.
I would still stand by this. If the Texans are being straight, it sounds like he has suffered a significant 2nd degree tear. With a supposed 3rd degree tear that you know that surgery will lead to IR ruled out, you are still left with the concern of trying to push too hard too quickly, a notorious reason specifically in the case of this type of injury for recovery being set back (even greater than hamstring injuries)......a reason why many of the 40% couldn't get back on the field by the 20th week.
First of all, I don't believe the Texans have said anything official. All of the information I've seen is from the infamous "person with knowledge of the situation".Yeah right... In Texans lingo, 3-4 weeks means he's out for the year. I do NOT trust one thing that comes out of the Texans. Or even their silence. They haven't come clean regarding Cody either.
I bet Smith and Kubiak are great chess players.
We'll see what they do with his roster spot. If he's truly out for the year, and they know it, they can't afford not to IR him and free up a spot. I think if they put him on IR with the right to return, he could come back for the Super Bowl (if my math is right). On one hand, that's kind of assuming you're gonna get to the Super Bowl - on the other hand, this would be the last week they could designate someone to return, so if they don't use it, it just goes away.
Bottom line if what you say is true (and I'm going on the record saying I disagree with it), there's no way they will let him stay on the 53 man roster and simply take up space.
Nothing I said is true. I was being sarcastic and speaking with a lot of distrust. I have learned not to believe anything the Texans say regarding injuries over the years then my recent experience regarding the Cody injury just solidified that to the max.
They're liars and I think like it. Not too sure though.
