So.. Howard is "good". Also, he was not carted but walked off..

but they didn't address the nature of the injury at all. Seems kinda sus that he might not play Friday.

Howard did not practice Wednesday, but he was one of several players not to dress out in what was more of a walk-through. He could be cleared to play Friday evening along with the other starters, but Houston might elect to wait a week and let him rest, though Ryans said the injuries won't change the approach to starters seeing the field.
 
Not really. There's a long list of players who will not be playing. Had he not had this little incident, he likely still would not be playing.
Stroud is going to be playing.

Look, he didn't mention what the injury was. He said even if he doesn't play Friday he'll be on track... what's that mean?

I took it to mean that NFL football is like a track and like life. You are on the track until you are not.

Coach speak..

exactly. No reason to be optimistic about his non-response. No reason to be negative either. I get the feeling some are reading this thinking, "Whew, it's not that bad."

But Tytus Howard ain't been at practice, may not play Friday, & hasn't tweeted to ease our minds. It's not looking good.
 
Tunsil needs to get back out there asap and they need to flip Fischer to get as many reps as possible at RT. It’s extremely early but I really like what little we have seen from Fischer but I see him as a RT here and he needs to be ready to replace Howard if necessary.
 
Not based on just his recent issue but based on all of his previous knee injuries and surgeries, I would be surprised if his upcoming season is not significantly affected.
And this is why I argued up and down with people that we needed to take a tackle high and luckily we drafted Fisher.

Also the recent development of Broeker who was previously thought to be a G who is now playing well at T is a pleasant surprise.
 
Texans edge rusher Will Anderson has missed some time this month with an ankle injury, but it looks like the 2023 defensive rookie of the year is on the right path for the September 8 opener against the Colts.

thats good news, we are gonna need his motor and relentless pursuit to shutdown and contain Richardson
 
I dunno are the retirement benefits substantial ?
To me it is substantial. To someone who made $3m/yr while playing, not so much:

"For each season the player plays, he earns credits. The more credits, the greater his pension amount. So, the amount NFL players make after retirement will vary. They are vested after 3 years.
Also, NFL players must be at least 55 years old to receive their full pension money. If a player wants the money earlier, he can receive a lesser amount plus penalties for taking the pension early. For a player that can wait until 65 to take the pension, the benefit greatly increases.

On average, retired NFL players earn about $43,000 annually from their pension."


The average NFL career is 3.3 years. I would guess that a 12 year career will result in a pretty nice pension.
 
Don't know where Colin gets his info... this is Keenum's 12th year per HT.com His first year was 2013 with the Texans

Not to mention the NFL retirement eligibility is after 3 years, not 10.

It's MLB that has a 10-year fully vested requirement.

I found no such "fully vested" requirement in the NLF pension plan, just the standard the more years you play the higher your pension will be. But maybe I missed it.

Just a little additional "hang your hat" info. The link below gives as much info about the NFL Pension Plan in general as I've ever found.

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

NFL Annuity Program

This program can provide another source of income. This depends on how much was contributed by the NFL in each credited season of a player. Here is a breakdown of what the typical pension in the NFL looks like today:

  • The average NFL Pension is about $43,000 per year.
  • The highest NFL Pension is about $201,453 per year
  • The lowest NFL Pension is about $19,800 per year.

Jon Weeks has entered the chat!

That dude must be cashing in! He has been playing what? 15 years almost?
 
I wish my parents had pushed me towards the lucrative career of NFL long snapper growing up…

No I wanted to be Reggie White or Julius Peppers… without the size, strength or speed!

Haha, this is my plan for my 2 year-old son! I'm going to decorate his room with Jon Weeks memorabilia, and teach him the line, "Sorry Coach, I only long-snap." The other option was a career like Ryan Palmer, who's that you ask?--exactly! He's a PGA golfer from Amarillo, whose had a long career of making PGA cuts. Unfortunately he's going to be tall, so he may not have the repeatable stroke to make it to the third-level of golf, so long-snapper it is!

Despite what people think the long snapper position actually does require quite a bit of athleticism. Our boy Weeks is quite undersized but is super quick and kind of a unicorn for the position.

TBH encourage your son to get into the O&G business. A career will provide him with, today, a pension much greater than the NFL average, company matching 401k contributions, good salaries, etc. College students hating on that industry don’t understand it.

Good money and benefits but many do not like the roller coaster ride.
 
When Aaron Wilson asked about Will Anderson Jr. status, Demeco replied that he's been dealing with an ankle injury and he feels good about all of the players. Anderson was running last week and is trending toward playing against the Colts. Still sounds more like coach speak..................will have to wait a week to find out...................hopefully without re-injury for too soon a return.

Yep. It is all speculation for now. Hoping we have just kept him on bubble wrap to be 100% for the Colts. But definitely worried, we need a maxxed out year 2 WAJ for this run.

yep...you mean putting a football in a 12 inch square 95% of the time with two 300 pound dudes on either shoulder is harder than it looks on TV.
 

INJURY REPORT Week 1​


TEXANS

M.J. StewartSAFDNPUNSPECIFIED


STEWART-DON'T KNOW WHY THE INJURY WAS NOT IDENTIFIED..............IT IS A KNEE INJURY...............HE IS ALSO STILL REHABBING FROM HIS NOV 2023 SHOULDER FRACTURE.

WOW!! Even at the beginning of a season I don’t recall ever seeing an injury report with just 1 player on it.
 
The Texans reached an injury settlement with Teagan Quitoriano for his Grade II calf tear. This removes him from IR and makes him eligible to return to the team by Week 5 if he is not signed by another team.

I wonder if Quitoriano is destined to recurrent soft tissue injuries..................last year, he sustained groin and oblique abdominal tears.
