2017 IN-SEASON PLAYER TRANSACTIONS

CB Marcus Williams is a Texan again. He suffered a high ankle sprain last year in the beginning of Nov and missed essential 4 weeks, then didn't come back the same player. In OTAs, he did not shine. Although he looked pretty good in preseason due to the level of talent in the CB corps, he was mostly relegated to the STs until he was waived. If he can regain his 2015 form, he may be a keeper.

OLB Lamarr Houston will be worked out tomorrow by the Texans. He suffered a second ACL tear in less than three years. He has appeared in 26 of 48 games since he was the Bears' lauded free-agent signing in 2014 after not missing a game in four seasons with the Raiders. Oct 2014, while down 25 points late in a game, and after celebrating a sack against Garapollo, he pulled a Gramatica suffering his first ACL (right) and losing the rest of the season. The last ACL (left) was suffered in Sept 2016 after which he missed most all of that season. Less than a week after Houston suffered another knee injury (reported by the Bears as "not significant) in the team's 2017 preseason finale, the Bears released the veteran pass rusher from injured reserve with an injury settlement. He was not considered to be ready to play any time in Sept. He has already been worked out by the Patriots, Saints and Bucs.

As far as Langford, Aug 2016, he suffered a knee injury that was undisclosed and underwent a scope that was projected only to take him away from playing for 4 weeks.......he indeed returned at that time, but was dogged by the injury/surgery until Nov 2016, when the Colts shut him down on IR. He then underwent another scope this offseason and could never come back from rehab to participate in OTAs or TC. He was released in Aug with a failed physical. The Saints picked him up in Sept and quickly released him 3 days later. Prior to missing nine games with the Colts last season, Langford had not missed a game. The problem I see with the pickup is that as I dug deeper into his initial injury, I discovered that the surgery was performed for a chondral defect (cartilage that has left the underlying bone bare) His most recent off season surgery was to "repair" cartilage in the same knee. I don't know how much I would trust that report as opposed to it involving removing more chondral cartilage. Either way, it appears that the first type of surgery performed and its short return to play may have be ill-advised in an attempt to get him back on the field as soon as possible. Unfortunately, it appears that we may be following the progressive events consistent with a player working his way to microfracture surgery.

The Texans have signed OL Dorian Johnson. He was a 4th round pick by the Cardinals, was cut at the 53 cut and placed on their PS from which the Texans have plucked him. Seven months ago, he was diagnosed with primary sclerosing cholangitis, a chronic disease of the bile ducts, during a routine blood test at the NFL scouting combine. This disease is of unknown origin, but is strongly felt to be an autoimmune problem attacking and creating massive inflammation of the bile ducts. It is is strongly associated with other autoimmune inflammatory bowel disease, especially ulcerative colitis and not uncommonly going onto a liver and/or colon cancer. Medications (no medication, even immunosuppressives have proven very effective), abstinence from certain liver metabolized drugs and alcohol can usually effect remissions, but it tends to break remissions and follow a progressive course.........with other autoimmune conditions not uncommonly cropping up along the way. Liver transplantation is the only therapy that can alter the eventual outcome (death.......... by cirhhosis, cancer or other of the above associated complications).........usually by 10 years following diagnosis.

He was highly regarded coming out of Pitt and wondered why he fell . At this point I'm more concerned with the man himself than a player . What are the risk for him to play ? It would seem like playing he would have to take certain drugs that would hurt him .

    Dorian Johnson, G, Pittsburgh
    Height: 6-5. Weight: 300. Arm: 35.25.
    40 Time: 5.27.
    Projected Round (2017): 3-5.
    4/25/17: Johnson looks the part and had a nice performance against Penn State. He has some ability to contribute to the ground game. Some sources have said they have a third-day grade on Johnson. They feel he lacks athleticism and the ability to hit a block in space. Multiple teams have said they graded Johnson as a fourth- or fifth-rounder. However, they say other teams like Johnson and have him graded on the second day.

    8/6/16: Johnson had a strong 2015 season for Pittsburgh. He has started 27 straight games and has been a steady blocker in the ground game. Getting James Conner back healthy could help to highlight Johnson's run-blocking skills.

Here's what walterfootball.com had to say about this 2017 prospect. If Rick sees some potential here it's good enough for me because he's the man who added players from Dylan Cole to Deshawn Watson to the Texans roster in 2017.

Sounds very similar to what my missus has - primary biliary sclerosis. She manages it with Bile acid replacement pills.
I had Johnson in one of my mocks, hope he works out in our system.

I'm having a hard time understanding the meaning here. When you say abstinence from certain liver-metabolized drugs and alcohol can usually effect remissions (that is, cause remissions), did you mean just that? Or did you mean they affect remissions? If so, in what way?

That was a typo! It should read "affect." Thanks for the catch!

With a disease like this, intake of substances such as alcohol and Tylenol encourage progression (negatively AFFECT the ability to stay or enter a remission [a slowing down of the progression])

I am happy to hear that your wife is doing well. They indeed on the surface seem similar. However, primary sclerosing choliangitis is a much more morbid and lethal disease. Your missus' primary biliary sclerosis can usually be well-controlled with ursodeoxycholic acid (a bile salt) if it is caught fairly early (before significant liver cirrhosis has occurred. With this treatment, patients can live a full normal length life. Even if a liver transplant is needed, it is usually not necessary before ~20 years with proper treatment. It's mostly a disease of females. Primary sclerosing choliangitis, on the other hand is a disease of mostly males, and no successful medical regimen (including the use of ursodeoxycholic acid) that has been shown to control or change the progression of the disease or the overall survival. In 80% of these patient (of which Johnson is likely included), at the time of diagnosis, they already also have the terrible bowel autoimmune disease ulcerative colitis, and 20-25% develop a liver cancer. Liver transplant is usually necessary by 10 years, and has an unusually high rate of rejection compared to transplants performed for other conditions, including primary biliary sclerosis.

Bill O'Brien goes way back with new guard Dorian Johnson
By Aaron Wilson, Houston Chronicle

October 11, 2017

Texans coach Bill O'Brien has a lot of familiarity with new offensive guard Dorian Johnson.

When O'Brien was at Penn State, he recruited Johnson. Johnson wound up going to Pitt, where the 6-5, 300-pound lineman became an All-Atlantic Coast Conference blocker.

The Texans signed Johnson off the Arizona Cardinals' practice squad on Wednesday. Johnson was drafted in the fourth round in the spring, but didn't pan out immediately for the Cardinals.

Johnson fell in the draft due to a liver condition that was a red flag for some NFL teams.

"I would put him in the developmental category," O'Brien said. "I would tell you that we really, coach (Mike) Devlin and I, had him pretty highly ranked when we studied him in the draft. I've known Dorian for a long time.

"A guy from Pittsburgh, very smart guy, very tough guy. I think it's good to be able to get him on board and start working with him. Sometimes it's about a fit. Sometimes guys fit better in some places than they do in others. So, hopefully, that's the case with Dorian with us."
****************************************************************************************************************

Houston reporting is very careful to gloss over or minimize injury or health issues. Hopefully, Johnson's issues at least for the short term will not impeded his development/potential utility.

I wish the same thing could have been said about my uncle. He was diagnosed with Cholangiocarcinoma (bile duct cancer) on November of 2015 and as of now is alive and doing well only because I pretty much snatched him away from MD Anderson where they were killing him FAST and brought him to the Methodist where they took a entirely different approach. We also visit a great homeopathic doctor in Mexico who has saved hundreds of people from various (rare) stage 4 cancers and my uncle is doing great. The cancer is shrinking with each passing month! We're still vigilant cause bike duct cancer is pretty much a death sentence.
I'm glad Johnson's problem is not as serious as my uncles' because cancer in general sucks!

Happy to hear about your uncle doing so well. The 5-year survival with best of treatments if caught in the early stages are ~30%........~25% if there is lymph node metastasis...........and ~1-2% with distant metastasis. It is only very rarely curable if it is caught extremely early and a radical surgery involving removal of the affected bile duct segment with parts of the gallbladder, liver and pancreas. Many times treatments for this condition may have initial good responses and unfortunately those responses are usually not long term. Hopefully, your uncle will be more of the exception. With that said, Johnson still has a significant chance (20-25%) of developing the same cancer as your uncle's. BTW, FWIW, I too am not a great fan of MD Anderson.

I might be mistaken but it's been my experience that in certain hospitals , you are a guinea pig and sometimes the cure can be worse than the disease . I had a good friend who died in 2015 at 48 years of age . He had a tumor in his pancreas that they had to shrink with chemo just to have a slight chance of a successful removal of it . I mentioned to him once that his best day might be today and the treatments will ruin tomorrow for no gain . He said he had to try . This started in October and he was gone by May . I had another friend who had the same thing at the same time and he lasted about 6 months longer . The common denominator is working at all these old power plants .

I wonder if Dorian will have the same problem as DQ ? His body is to taxed to play at this level and keeping weight and strength is an issue .

I'd get that liver transplant. He'd be ready to play in 2018. I was back to work 5 weeks after mine. I felt young and ambitious. The only thing he has to worry about is what bit me - severe rejection leading to a second transplant. That tripped me up in the head for awhile...too long, really.

Anyway, I wish this young man the best of luck. Bite the bullet, get it done. As long as his head is right he could be better off for it. But I'm not a doctor, so there is that.

Glad you are doing well. But not so fast. He would need to be on immunosuppressive drug(s) for the rest of his life.........not something compatible with being an NFL lineman.

Not the greatest news but when I talked to you about my friend who was diagnosed with non small cell cancer last August, you told me something I didn't want to hear but what I needed to hear. And I greatly appreciated that as even though Steve (my friend) was confident he was going to beat cancer, I spent a lot more time with him before he passed in April than I might have had had I not known what you told me.

He was treated at MD Anderson. They gave him one treatment of chemo and after that his condition rapidly deteriorated. Steve was gung-ho about the treatment but his wife was concerned because he was unstable. There were other things that happened with them that made Steve's wife want to sue them. I don't remember the specifics as she was hysterically venting to me on the phone through angry tears a week after Steve died.

Yes, he would be on Cellcept and Prograf. I have noticed no side effects to these drugs and I started back to the gym about 4 months ago. Again, with no side effects. I've worked my way up to German Volume Training 4 days a week and cardio on the days I'm not lifting.

Can you expound on why these drugs would be a problem for an offensive lineman?

I'm sorry about your friend Steve. But I'm glad you were able to spend extra time with him before his passing. It's tough to watch someone when you know what is going to happen. It sounds like he was fortunate to have a good friend like you.

Your immune system is always affected by any bodily trauma. Immune drugs carry blood thinning/poor blood clotting implications. Healing in general is adversely affected. Simple lacerations can turn into life-threatening infections, just like colds or flu. On top of that, he is already dealing with a disease that is autoimmune based (his primary liver disease), and has already ~80% chance of at this moment also dealing with another serious autoimmune disease, ulcerative colitis. It must be understood that most liver transplants are performed because of non-immune based disease caused by such factors as alcohol and drug intake, so that there is typically no additional underlying immune problem the transplant recipient must fight. That is why liver transplants for Johnson's condition carries an unusually high incidence of rejection.

Well, try to keep in mind that the Cardinals might have actually been asking him to play a position on their offensive line effectively with the expectation that he'd get better. The Texans don't appear to have any weird ideas like that and pretty much seem to base the OL jobs on attendance and good behavior.

He'll probably do just fine here!
 
Healthy again, new Texans OLB Lamarr Houston learning on the fly
By Aaron Wilson, Houston Chronicle

October 12, 2017 Updated: October 12, 2017 1:58pm
Dogged by knee injuries in recent years, new Texans outside linebacker Lamarr Houston is enjoying his rejuvenated health.

In 2014, the Chicago Bears signed Houston to a five-year, $35 million contract that included $15 million guaranteed. He tore his anterior cruciate ligament while celebrating a sack of New England Patriots quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo in 2014, then tore it again in 2016 and was placed on injured reserve.

"I'm feeling much better," Houston said. "I'm feeling ready to play some ball. I'm excited.

*********************************************************

Healthy again????..............could that be because he hasn't played since preseason when he again suffered a knee injury. Most players indeed find it a lot easier to stay healthy if they don't play the game.

I would imagine that all these injuries would have a cumulative effect as well.
Lots of niggles to remind him of possible consequences.
 
Yeah but really he costs a bit too much there! But hey would love to get him if he could sign here.

I think NaVorro Bowman, while not nearly the same player as he was, is worth a look.

Bowman has come back commendably in 2015 from a terrible left ACL/MCL rupture which cost him the entire 2014 season. He then went on to play 3 games in 2016 before suffering an left Achilles rupture from which he has come back this year commendably. However, the question is for how long. After Bowman's 2015 impressive return, the 49ers with 3 full years remaining on his old contract, extended him for 4 more years. It didn't work out so well as he suffered his Achilles rupture shortly thereafter. I doubt serious that Bowman will go on the cheap. Again, if you are going to consider signing him, after 2 major season-ending injuries on one side, how much are you willing to gamble that he will go for any significant time without another major lower limb injury...........in that both ACL and Achilles ruptures leave a player at high risk for sustaining both of these injuries on the contralateral (or same) side?
