DieHard Texan!
Any news on his return? I know he was supposed to come off PUP. We could use some extra inside help.
Death to Google Ads! Texans Talk Tip Jar! 🍺😎👍
Thanks for your support!
It's been oddly quiet considering the need. Like we might as well write him off.
battleredblog.com said he wouldn't be back in the near term. They had some quotes from Kubes I believe.
Wasn't he still on crutches a couple of weeks ago?
I'm not holding out any hope of Sharpton making it back this year.
I don't think there's been any news, but he has two more weeks I believe until the Texans either have to add him to the 53 man roster or rule him out for the rest of the season.
Like you guys are saying, the quotes I saw from Kubiak (regarding adding Sharpton to ease the loss of Cushing, back in the aftermath of our Jets game) is that it doesn't look promising.
He said something to the effect of Sharpton wouldn't be ready even by the time Sharpton comes off the injured list. So that means he's probably going to get fully I.R.'d unless he makes a huge turnaround soon.
Joe Flacco is not exactly a great test of our defense, either. I worry that this one beatdown we put on Flacco and the Ravens is more mirage than mettle. WITH Cushing, I think we're the best team in the league. Without him, I fear we're vulnerable to teams like Green Bay who have playmaking QBs who can beat the blitz better than Flacco can.

Sharpton tore his right quadriceps last season in Week 8 and was placed on injured reserve. He was placed on the PUP list after suffering a setback in his rehab early in training camp.
Sharpton was eligible to return to practice last week but has yet to do so. The Texans feel like hes close. Last week, Kubiak said Sharpton has been working with trainers on a side field during practice and running very, very well.
Sharpton has until Nov. 7 to start practicing. From the day he starts practicing, the Texans have three more weeks to activate Sharpton from the PUP list. That means the latest he could be back on the active roster is the week leading up to the Texans Week 13 game at Tennessee.
If either deadline passes, Sharpton would not be able to play this season. He would remain on the PUP list.
Thanks man! That is exactly what I was looking for. Let's hope for the best. Sharpton returning to full post injury form would be a huge boost in the middle, imo.
MSR, can someone get that for me?

Darryl Sharpton 'real close'
June 4, 2012 - 7:25 PM ET
Texans ILB Darryl Sharpton (quadriceps) looks "real close," according to coach Gary Kubiak.
Sharpton has been running on the side as the Texans conduct their OTAs. The third-year run-stuffer should have no problem getting to 100 percent ahead of training camp.

Got him.
Dobbins looked great last game. I'm not too concerned yet.
Dobbins isn't really my concern (I thought he even did well in coverage a few times!), That Bradie James character is what concerns me. Maybe if he didn't have a shoe deal with a cement company, he'd be less worrysome.
What Bradie James lacks in ability to play, he almost makes up for in ability to audible to shift the defense into the right set/call. He knows this defense better than anyone and he's a QB out there getting everyone to the right spot.
I want him replaced but not just by anyone.
Yep, and I bet the Cowboys are now kicking themselves for not retaining Bradie James this offseason. Watch their defense implode with the loss of Sean Lee, and nobody with experience waiting in the wings behind him. This was a good signing by Wade, and a smart, low-risk move to increase continuity among the defense. Especially after trading Ryans, who otherwise would have assumed this role.
Let's see 2010 Sharpton had 34 combined tackles in 12 games.
2011 12 combined tackles in 8 games. Can anyone say Domannique Barber?
can we say badboy = troll?
can we say badboy = troll?
He's not a troll at all.
Trolling is when a poster stays on ONE thing and never lets it die.
Example: "The head coach sux!"
Next post from that poster: "Our HC is awful, that none of you see this...it's sad."
Next next post: "LOL. Yeah, well if we had a better HC we'd be unstoppable. The guy is garbage. Wake up and smell the coffee."
And those posts, they're in almost EVERY thread...not just a "Our HC Sux" thread. They take their pet project, coach bashing, and inject it into every single thread they can. Baiting others into arguments over it.
THAT is trolling.
Another form of trolling is when somebody makes personal attacks with no real contribution to the discussion of ideas about the thread's topics.
Badboy isn't trolling. He's giving his opinions, he's backing it up with numbers, etc. That's not trolling. He's engaging in the conversation and staying within the framework of the thread topic.
Nothing personal from me to you or anything...I'm just letting you know in case you are unsure of what trolling is and isn't.
610 just reported that Kubiak today again said that Sharpton is "very close but still not practicing."
Yeh. Jeruh has helped his GM change his underwear several times a day since realizing the the Cowboys are playing the Giants next........without a real ILB "QB."
Dobbins looked great last game. I'm not too concerned yet.

ILB Darryl Sharpton (quad/PUP) said he plans to practice next week. "I look forward to hitting some people." #Texans
Getting closer?
Nick Scurfield ‏@NickScurfield
#Texans have cleared ILB Darryl Sharpton to return to practice. He's still on PUP- doesn't count against active roster
Nick Scurfield ‏@NickScurfield
The #Texans have 3 weeks to move Sharpton to the active roster. Earliest he can return is this Sunday. Latest is Week 13
I was listening to the Kubiak show this past monday after the bills game and Kubiak seems to think he is ready. Maybe he can see the field this week....
And the day training camp opened, coach Gary Kubiak suggested Sharpton was close to returning.
He wasn’t. Instead, he wound up on the physically-unable-to-perform list, ensuring he’d miss the first half of the season.
Slow and steady
“I went into training camp thinking I was going to hit the ground running,” Sharpton said. “But I guess I overcompensated on my other (left) leg and hurt my hip. But I stayed positive. I just continued to rehab, keep my faith in God’s plan for me, and now I’m here. It felt good to get back on the field and play with my friends again, just running around out there and getting the adrenaline flowing.
“I eased into it but got more and more confident as practice went on. It’s hard to simulate playing football, the physical part, the stamina part. I’m sure I’ll catch on, get the muscle memory back. I’ve been working out hard, lifting weights, stretching, doing everything I needed to do in preparation.”
Texans Sharpton returns after a yearlong absence

If you remember my posts re. the hip probably being a "compensation" injury secondary to unrealistically working the quad too heavily and too early trying to get back to football too soon.
Doc,
Based on the info we know(I know the Texans tend to not disclose a lot) what is the prognosis for Sharper moving forward? Is there a likelier chance for reinjury or to injure something else due to compensation(as he did in TC)? While he is "in shape" he is clearly not in game shape. About how long do you think it will take to get him back into "game shape"?
Thank you sir!
