Patterson and Ward both have soft tissue injuries..............neither should play................if they do, they have a significant injury risk and not making it through the game.

Rib pain is no joke! But easily manageable once you get past the pain levels.Dell is experiencing a great deal of rib pain. Return to contact play may not occur for a couple more games. Rib contusions, like fractures can be quite painful when breathing, coughing and sneezing..............not to mention exquisitely tender to touch. A flak jacket can be worn once pain is tolerable. Keep in mind that a contused rib can increase the risk for a subsequent fracture, especially if exposed to severe contact before mostly healed.
Even a Grade I hamstring tear needs 2 weeks to heal. I hope he does not try to play Sunday, as he is at very significant risk to not only be significantly compromised.............but also at great risk to extend the severity of his injury.Nico Collins is out hamstring injury?

Nico Collins pops up on Texans' practice report with a hamstring injury
The Texans are banged up heading into Sunday's game against the Jaguars.www.nbcsports.com
There is no way that Collins had ANY hamstring injury on last Thursday...........and played the way 3 days later he played last Sunday.The Texans are definitely manipulating the Injury Reports. Last week, Collins missed Wed's practice then went LP the next day.............reported as hip/ankle in some reports and hip/foot in others. There was even a report that he was not injured, but had suffered an illness. This week he ends up with a hamstring injury that limited his practice..................something that could have easily been due to a compensatory injury due to a lingering hip/ankle or foot injury.
The Texans official Injury Report web page still is posting pathetically incomplete injury information.
Here is yesterday's final report:

My posts were accidentally posted in this thread instead the NFL section. I quickly apologized and asked the mods to move my posts and its response.I thought this was the injury thread not the Cleveland Browns/DW4 thread?
Very little usable information. Only that " Mixon and Dell are getting healthier." I would hope that Mixon is not put out there Sunday without a full participation throughout the week.Any update on Mixon?
Mixon practiced last Friday on a limited basis and was then held out of Sunday’s win over the Jacksonville Jaguars as a game-time decision. His status is regarded as week to week, per league sources.
There is no setback with Mixon, per sources, it’s just an injury that takes time to heal up from.
Are you willing to venture what grade high ankle sprain Mixon may have? Edit: reason I ask is because it looks like he had two grade 1 ankle sprains in 2021 but didn’t miss any games. At least one was called a high ankle. Data is spotty.Per Aaron Wilson today:
This evidently is as close as you will get to any admission that Mixon has been dealing with a high ankle..................which he has.![]()
According to the University of Google a grade 1 sprain is 1-3 weeks. Grade 2 is three to six weeks. Don’t want to think about a grade 3. So I guess this coming week may shed some light on this? When someone is first examined can they know what grade it is?
In in the course of the 2021 season, Mixon suffered 2 separate ankle sprains...............both low ankle sprains. The ankle sprain he is now dealing with is a grade II high ankle sprain for which he needs another 1-3 weeks to safely return depending on how his rehab goes.Are you willing to venture what grade high ankle sprain Mixon may have?

Thanks. This limbo stuff from the team is really aggravating. If they said grade II my bad but I never saw it. Not even worth worrying about it now for the next couple of games I guess.In in the course of the 2021 season, Mixon suffered 2 separate ankle sprains...............both low ankle sprains.

The Texans never described the "ankle injury" as to it being high ankle or as to its severity, let alone the grade, which I determined by film and its immediate effect.Thanks.

CnD do you think the league has control of this language…commenting on the severity of injuries for Vegas betting purposes? If so I’m one foot and four toes out the door on this crap.The Texans never described the "ankle injury" as to it being high ankle or as to its severity, let alone the grade, which I determined by film and its immediate effect.
The League rules on required reporting injuries is pathetically barebones for the public. The NFL and bookies don't want it any other way, since they usually can get more detailed information through insiders and injury-knowledgeable people. The NFL does not monitor the team injury reporting strictly, and with so much egregious dishonesty, they seldom punish teams for anything related to injury reporting. So many things in reporting on its face can be of very useless value to opponents, bookies or fans...................just one example, a player in practice can be listed as LP (limited practice) if he takes 99% of the reps............or if he takes only 1% of the reps.CnD do you think the league has control of this language…commenting on the severity of injuries for Vegas betting purposes?

From what I understand, Harris is still suffering issues with his calf tear and will not be activated this week for return.Christian Harris continues to have significant debility from his calf tear (I'm beginning to believe his Achilles is involved). Despite being designated eligible to return after fulfilling his 4 week IR stint, the Texans do not feel that they can open up the 3-week window of practice this week for ultimate return.
This is what happens when you bring a player back too soon..................extension of the injury.............and resulting rehab much longer and much less predictable.From what I understand, Harris is still suffering issues with his calf tear and will not be activated this week for return.
Have you heard what's wrong with Brooks knee?Unfortunately, British Brooks has been placed on IR with a knee injury. He lost the entire 2022 season at UNC for an unnamed knee injury. I have now confirmed that it was for an ACL rupture.
