Minor injuries aren't reported.I just pulled something and it wasn't a hamstring.

The only reasonable scenario I could see this occurring is if Colvin sustained only a "plain" ankle ligament grade III tear without fracture . But even in that case, rehab will take ~4-8 (usually closer to 6-8) weeks and full return to training 8-10 weeks to have any chance of reasonable performance with lesser chance of re-injury when he finally allowed to return to actual game play. Keep in mind that with a grade III ankle ligament tear, that ligament after healing will still be stretched and looser than pre-injury leaving the ankle with some semblance of permanent instability.............that's why ankle sprains tend to be associated with recurrence and chronicity. You might also keep in mind that Colvin was placed on IR in 2016 for a similar ankle injury. My guess is that the team is thinking of trying to bring him back earlier than ideal, heavily taped and/or braced in attempt to bolster their poor CB situation.Doc I'm really surprised Colvin could be back; thought he was out for season.
I'm a bit surprised at Coutee being allowed back in. He landed flat instead of bouncing his helmet thankfully, but still looked like he locked his arms (I simply cannot remember that term). It was subtle but seemed clear to me, as well as taking just a little too long to orient himself getting up.

Injury doesn't seem to have factored into his not playing.Doc any info on why Rankin didn't play? I didn't see any post about his pre-season injury keeping him off field. Just assuming injury as I didn't hear announcers saying starting LT out.
On the 1 yd TD play, I could not find where Coutee's head actually hit the turf. I didn't see signs of concussion at the time.I'm a bit surprised at Coutee being allowed back in.

They way the injury reporting is going with Watson, unless he ends up in a body or limb cast, the Texans are unlikely portray him as anything but Superman.So what’s up with Watson? Cracked ribs?
Someone give me a time stamp on the game so that I can review it. Had to leave the TV for a while and have not reviewed the film yet.It wasn't the TD play, it was later (late second I think, not certain) on a deeper route that resulted in a penalty.

the way the line moved from 8 to 1 makes me think there is something about DW4 not yet public. Any rumors

Deshaun Watson is considered day to day with a chest injury from the Cowboys game.

A lung bruise can be more serious in its consequences than a punctured lung.take it that means no punctured lungs, but probably some very severely bruised ribs
Watson has worn a flak jacket since day one.Going forward in games is Watson a candidate for some type of flak jacket? Doc any thoughts on how Lamm did with shoulder issue? He surprised me by playing.
Lot of us have been worried that Watson might get hurt again soon because of the Texans shaky Oline but this injury if in the chest area (ribs or lungs) as is suspected
is perhaps more along the lines of being self-inflicted because of too many reckless decisions and/or the HCs unwillingness to call plays that limit DW4's exposure to injury.
Why the hell didn't O'Brien insert somebody like Watt into the backfield for one of those goal-line efforts that involves collisions with multiple 250 lb linebackers ?
Remember the play well - P/O game vs KC right ?because the last time he put Watt in the backfield it broke Watt, and it has gone down as probably the worse play call of his career
Watt was broken long before that play.because the last time he put Watt in the backfield it broke Watt, and it has gone down as probably the worse play call of his career
Any players coming back from Achilles ruptures, if they come back are typically not worth much before 12 months post repair. As far as a RB like Foreman, I believe his previously promising career will never unfold.Agreed I understand they wanted to take a chance on him, and that's fine he is a talented corner, arguably could have been the most talented on the team when fully healthy. But they should have at minimum placed him on the PUP list, and sat him out the same amount Foreman is sitting out.
Am I wrong in thinking the Texans brought in a lot of new faces to their medical staff this off season? Why are they still making the same mistakes?

There are some new faces on the Medical Staff. But the major ones are still intact. I'll have something else to post about that aspect of what's going on.

...even in his Clemson days...Watson has worn a flak jacket since day one.

Bill O'Brien not sure when D'Onta Foreman will be back, but says he's doing well

Any player can be put onto the field after any injury. But, especially with an Achilles, there's a big difference between "coming back"............and performing well........and staying back.Many others have said, including his father, that he will be back as soon as he comes off the PUP list after the mandatory 6? games

I dunno maybe time here for ownership to exercise some prudent judgment with their most valued asset because we know O'Brien won't as his top priority is to save his own job..I know it seems to be only walk through practice, but compared to Weeden at least in this short clip, Watson is moving like an old man..........awfully slow and gingerly. If this is a true example of where he is now, I'd think twice about putting out there with live bullets anytime soon.

I'm pretty sure that Mr. Deshawn Watson is the one guy on this football team who O'Brien can't muzzle.Watson probably upset OB a little today with his presser. We know OB doesn't like players talking about their injuries in regards to them playing or not. Today Watson said multiple times he would be out there on Sunday
Bottom line, like you, O'Brien is not a doctor, and if he is told that Watson is good to go, he has to depend on their opinion...............much like was the case with Brandon Brooks.I dunno maybe time here for ownership to exercise some prudent judgment with their most valued asset because we know O'Brien won't as his top priority is to save his own job..
