Not pretty, but ALIVE!
Yep. He was a project guy with potential, but unlikely to help right away.I think it's generally forgotten, because it's seldom mentioned, but Derek Newton was drafted in the 7th.

No but you should see looks I get when I say God talks to me. (and Aaron Adams is not what I was referring to).So have you told anyone, outside of this board, that jellybeans talk to you?
The problem isn't with God speaking, it's with people refusing to listen. But that is true for all authority.No but you should see looks I get when I say God talks to me. (and Aaron Adams is not what I was referring to).
The #Texans have released OT Will Yeatman.
Yeatman spent last season on IR with problems from his anterior cruciate surgery in 2013, while with Miami. I read somewhere in this forum that he did not participate in the off-season program or OTA's.
The Chronicle reported this morning that he was cut because he was still having problems and struggling to recover from this surgery "despite working hard to get himself into playing shape."
Isn't this the kind of thing injury settlements are for??Despite what you may have heard, Yeatman was not IR'ed for ACL problems. He sustained a severe concussion during the middle of 2014 TC, which led to significant balance problems. Following ~2 months of little improvement, he was sent out of state to a well-known sports concussion rehab center for evaluation which identified that he had sustained a specific injury to that part of the brain that controls balance. Even though, he was eventually release to return to play as pertains to this event. Some patients with this type of concussion will have recurrent long-term balance problems.
The Chronicle reports that his cut was due to problems and struggle in his recovery from ACL surgery. I would have to wonder if continued balance problems, which could also easily account for struggling to return to football from any other injury.........or no additional injury.

What is an injury settlement?
Posted September 3, 2014
Injury settlements are used in lieu of placing a player on the Injured Reserve (IR) until he is healthy enough to be released. If an injury is deemed to take longer than 17 weeks to recover the player will be placed on IR for the season and receive his full salary (unless he has a split contract). Injury settlements are also used to lighten the load of the training room. If a team has six players who have injuries that require rehabilitation it will tie up the time and resources of the training room. Teams want to move on from players they think wouldn’t have made their team, are expendable talents and/or are easily replaceable.
Injury settlements can also give a team a chance at getting a player back during that same season. There is a rule in place that the team (agreeing to a settlement) can’t resign that player until a minimum of six weeks passes following the amount of weeks of the initial settlement. So for our MCL example, the team cannot resign that player for the first eleven weeks. For a player who did a three week/3 game settlement, his team can’t sign him back until after week nine. However, the player is free to sign with another team.
If a player, usually upon the advice of his agent, doesn’t want to do an injury settlement, it’s the team’s obligation to rehab and give him medical treatment. Once the team and the team’s physician deem the player healthy enough to return to the field, the team will release the player from the injured list. If the player feels he is still injured, he has the right to file an injury grievance against the team. An independent arbitrator (as spelled out in the CBA) will hear the grievance.
I have heard zero about Stevie Brown. Is he healthy?
...And do you think there is any chance they could also work Mumphres in at RB for some snaps where he'd be at 2 positions on the DC ?
Mumphery has cooled a bit from his early fast start. He's going to have to master one and likely two WR positions before taking on special package plays, imo.
Yes, dude can beat you with speed/quicks and decent hands. But an injury magnet.And Bonner has come on pretty strong as well hasn't he?
Stevie has been healthy and was well-spoken and seemed pretty intelligent in interview. Dre Hal is giving him a run for his money as #2 S so far.

I'm wondering if XSF's back issues that lingered throughout 2014 are still affecting him?

If that's what's holding him back wouldn't you think they'd put that out there for no other reason than to cut short the speculation about him being a possible bust ?I'm wondering if XSF's back issues that lingered throughout 2014 are still affecting him?
Appreciate update; I am hoping Short 3, S. Brown and N. Washington jump start their careers this season. I am really pleased at the way safety appears to be rounding out.Stevie has been healthy and was well-spoken and seemed pretty intelligent in interview.

No indication that O'Brien cares a flip about what is speculated about. It could be that coaches think X should be playing through the back injury if it is an issue.If that's what's holding him back wouldn't you think they'd put that out there for no other reason than to cut short the speculation about him being a possible bust ?

yep. Probably could say this about Newton with his injuries.Some on the Texans staff (evidently including the medical personnel) thought the same of Clowney after his initial knee surgery.
Pain and injury should be treated differently. Play through pain, but guard against further injury. Knowing the difference is the art and lost on many coaches and most fans.Some on the Texans staff (evidently including the medical personnel) thought the same of Clowney after his initial knee surgery.
As taken from HT.com on 8/11/15:
Lol who the hell is John Simon?
Pay Attention. He's our starting SLB....Lol who the hell is John Simon?
for realz?
Played 11 games for us last year....
Tied for 5th in sacks on the team.....
Used to play for Baltimore....
very pale dude.....
This guy...
Wondering why the team hasn't officially placed Cliett on the Injured Reserve and signed another player to the 90 man roster?

Maybe because they wanted to save the announcement of the true extent of his injury for Hard Knocks airing...........then he will now be waived injured.........and ~24 hours later announced to be placed on IR?? Or they have been trying to negotiate an outright injury settlement release.
I don't think they would waive him or set up injury settlement. I think he gets placed directly to injured reserve, redshirt 2015 season.
That would be reasonable, but they could be waiting to see what is found during surgery. If the injury is found to include significant associated injuries that would question his ultimate ability to return to expected performance any where close to pre-injury, the Texans may not want to make the decision to keep him on the IR.

Doc, I learned something new this morning and it seems very applicable to Cliett.
Prior to the first roster cut down to 75 players, any non-vested player cannot be placed directly to a team IR. The place must be placed on waivers first. After the first roster cut down to 75 players, teams no longer use the waived/injured designation; and teams can place non-vested players directly to IR.
IMO that explains why Cliett has not been placed on IR yet. The team doesn't want to take a chance on waivers and losing the player, so they will wait until the first roster cut down and then will have the ability to place Cliett directly to IR without going through the waiver process.
Thanks for the information. Demps (30) has return ability to go with Safety Skills.Per multiple reports, Texans signed two vets:
S-Quintin Demps
DE-Fili Moala
No word on corresponding releases.
The Colts didn't release him - he signed a one year contract in March of 2014, and it simply expired.Thanks for the information. Demps (30) has return ability to go with Safety Skills.
I can't find out when the Colts released Fili Moala, but he doesn't appear on their roster and was last seen on their IR for an ACL (June 2014).
Thanks. I saw the article on the New Contract (2014), but didn't realize it was only for one year.The Colts didn't release him - he signed a one year contract in March of 2014, and it simply expired.
Did we have a full roster or did we start with an extra roster spot?Looks like Jasper Coleman may have been one of the releases.

Eeew. Remind me not to visit that part of Spain. We have some personnel who could just as well be cut now because they're not going to make the team. Kmart, Thompson,....I thought we had an extra spot, but something could have easily slipped past me. I was battling food poisoning this weekend.
