Injury Thread

From the game thread, right after the injury occurred.

I slow motioned the Anderson injury. I believe it is consistent with a high ankle sprain and/or MCL.

Pro Bowl defensive end Will Anderson Jr., the AFC Defensive Player of the Month, left the game with an ankle injury. He injured his left ankle in the first half, but then went back in the game only to not play in the second half. Aaron Wilson

You may want to review this old post to understand my feeling that Green was never a good bet for this year................his lower leg injuries/surgeries predicted his poor mobility and his shoulder injuries/surgeries predicted his inability to hold pass blockers back.

am copying my post on Kenyon Green's injuries from the original Kenyon Green thread, as I believe it is important to be able to easily retrieve it.

I've been posting on his injuries forever. His knee, his pec and his shoulder. At this point, when you are assessing a player with a history of left pec followed by a left labrum injury, you take into consideration what position they play. An offensive lineman with these injuries is extremely unlikely to be able to conservatively rehab without re-injury and without extending the damage. The team physician is the one that should know that. He, not the player nor the coach or GM are expected to have that knowledge and act upon it. Of course, today with NFL team doctors paying significant monies for the privilege of their position, they too often seem to veer from their ethical duties to the patient/player...........ultimately being influenced in their medical decisions by their business relationship to the team.

At the time of the pec injury last year, there was already associated concern with his labrum. To begin with, the pec injury typically results in weakening of the shoulder to some extent. This was further agravated by being put back at LG using his outstretched left arm to hold back the D (the same mechanism for his pec injury). Surgery was always going to ultimately be necessary for him to practice his trade.

I will take it a step further. I've previously emphasized that Green was never a quick, light on his feet player. Add to that 2 meniscus excisions (not repairs) leaving him well on his way to future microfracture surgery, his ability to move quickly and square off with a defender on his left is definitely even more strongly compromised................with him frequently having to compensate by holding his opponent back with an outstretched arm...........putting all of the weight and leverage of his opponent on his arm............placing him in a perfect position for his arm/shoulder to be torqued backwards resulting in serious shoulder injury.

Whoever participated in the decision for him to rehab then practice/play before addressing his problem surgically was wrong. Saying it was wrong is not a 20/20 hindsight, it should have been a 20/20 foresight.

The Texans finally eventually repaired Green's shoulder labrum that should have been attended to immediately.
As I have posted in the past, with all of his injury history, I don't see how the Texans ever believed that he would be a productive member of the Oline.

Be aware that this recent dislocation means that he has again torn the left should labrum and probably added to articular damage...........the same left labrum he had repaired last year.
 
Anderson should have never been allowed to return to play yesterday after his high ankle injury, not even for one play..............it no doubt aggravated the injury.

Nico Collins was cleareed to practice today, opening up the 3-week window for the designated to return player. The Texans keep on reporting that they are entertaining letting him play Sunday..................something among other things I feel with only a walk-thru practice under his belt would be ill advised.
 
Dell suffered a back strain yesterday. He should not play. The way he plays, he gets knocked around too much to do it with a compromised back. If he does not reinjury his back, with weak core, he is a high risk for compensatory injury.
 
Fatukasi with his recurrent shoulder dislocation history now with a soft tissue adductor groin injury is likely to be ineffective if he plays Sunday.
 
I'll be watching Ward back from a adductor groin soft tissue tear, with only a full practice on the Friday walk-thru after 2 limited practices.

With this being a "long" week between games. Makes most of those with LP and DNP a more significant factor.

Lassiter doesn't look to pass the Protocol by Monday.

As prepared as the Texans have billed as ready for return, he will not have played in the contact day and therefore not completed a full week of FP.

Stingley played through a hip injury he incurred in the 2nd half of the last game but the Texans insisted on having him play through it............it will definitely have a negative effect on his performance, if he is even able to play against the Cowboys.


Stroud suffered a right hand injury (have not been able to determine what it specifically is yet) during one of the times that he was sacked. Even though he had a FP, any throwing hand injury in a QB is a concern. He will undoubtedly play Monday. Will have to watch to see if and how much he may be affected.

Anderson, Lassiter and Fatukasi will not be ready to play Monday.

Blake Fishers appears to have had a setback in the Protocol making him unlikely to clear for Monday..

If Pierce tries to play, he will be significant risk to not have a good performance.

Stingley will likely try to play thru his hip injury, but expect compromised mobility.

Al-Shaair is still having problems with knee soreness and swelling which if he plays with be troublesome.

Horton suffered a shoulder injury in practice yesterday.............I have no further information................will see what happens tomorrow.

FULL workload Collins mmm
says
Running back Dameon Pierce (groin), linebacker Jake Hansen (ankle) and offensive tackle Laremy Tunsil (knee) had full participation after limited work Thursday.

Cornerback Derek Stingley Jr. (hip) returned to practice Friday with limited work.

Texans WR Nico Collins returns to full workload and is good to go for Monday

Texans wide receiver Nico Collins had a full practice Friday after limited work Thursday.

Will Anderson Jr. , Foley Fatukasi and Blake Fisher are both OUT.

Kamari Lassiter has still not cleared the Concussion Protocol being), limited today.

Jeff Okudah is still having quadriceps soreness after full participant and will be questionable

It looks like everyone else has been given the go.

I will be watching Stingley for residual effects of his hip injury.

I will also be watching Collins. Practicing coming back from a hamstring is not the same stress as a complete regular full out nonstop exertive game.

Pitre has suffered a partial pectoral tendon tear. The Texans have reported that this will result in a multiple game absence. In a safety, return this season with conservative (nonsurgical) rehab should not be considered. It would almost assuredly result in a complete rupture of the tendon. Surgery is definitely in Pitre's future before next season.
 
I read that Christian Harris and Kenyon Green have returned to practice today. Particularly surprised about Kenyon Green who has been designated to return from IR.

I guess the practice schedule is slightly different coming off the bye week?

Harris will need some windup time to get into play shape, and will be be trying to avoid re-injuring his calf.

Green will not be anything he has not been since his debut performance..............especially while wearing a shoulder harness. The Texans are beyond desperate.

Fatukasi had problems with his other injuries before coming down with a foot problem. Wouldn't expect to much when he is on the field.

Green should be QUESTIONABLE every week. A shoulder harness won't do his performance much good. He needs repeat shoulder surgery. But the Texans need a body to complete the OL.

Harris needs more practice reps before being pushed into a game. But he will probably play Sunday.

Hill suffered from what I can tell a grade I MCL. He will likely try to play Sunday.

Broeker sustained a finger sprain and should be good to go with some heavy taping.
