HOUSTON
Nothing really new except that Watt is back on the report for his knee. Keep in mind that this was a "phantom practice." There is no useful information re. the players on the Limited Participation list.
TENNESSEE
The Hillbillies may not have all their teeth, but they seem to have relatively healthy legs coming into this game.
RB Fluellen (knee)....... on his 4th carry of the season and the 3rd carry of the game (4 yds/carry), sustained a significant knee injury Nov 11............the team has not characterized it, but said "it was not as serious as it could have been".........as I watched the game, it appeared to be a hyperextension noncontact injury, which I am sure caused ligament damage............if it was not an injury to the ACL, it would most likely be a PCL tear............he's an upright runner and paid for it in repeated injuries throughout his college career..............missed numerous games in 3 of 4 seasons with knee, ankle and back injuries...............you will not see him Monday night except on the sideline.
WR Taywan Taylor (foot)...........sustained week 9........looked to me to be a classic Lisfranc forced flexion-positioned foot on that play..............has not really practiced until now...........hard bent to see him on the field, or productive it so allowed to play.........high risk re-injury
C Ben Jones (shoulder)..........sustained undisclosed injury last game
QB Marcus Mariota (neck)...........called a "minor stinger"............has had continued numbness of his right arm and essentially did not throw yesterday in a practice which was called a "walk-through"..........reviewing the play, his neck was snapped back on his 4th sack of the day............with his prolonged symptoms and hesitancy to have him start throwing this far out, I feel that he is dealing with a nerve impingement (whether caused by swelling or disc compression).............this will certainly not help him following his right elbow (ulnar collateral ligament) injury that he was just overcoming
