Texans Game Time Decisions

Texans going in to the game with the Raiders, have already ruled out 2 players, both TE Ryan Griffin (concussion) and CB Elbert Mack (hamstring) will not play this Sunday. The team listed another 4 guys as questionable/game time decisions, CB Kareem Jackson (chest), P Shane Lechler (flu), MLB Joe Mays (knee), and MLB Mike Mohamed (hamstring), none of the four participated in Friday’s practice.  The team also listed another 12 guys as probable must notably MLB Darryl Sharpton (foot), RB Ben Tate (ribs), and LG Wade Smith (knee) the three were limited in practice on Friday but should start on Sunday.

It has been announced that Jackson, Mays and Mohamed will not play this Sunday vs. the Raiders. It does seem that Lechler will give it a go today after spending a chunk of the week in the hospital with the flu. 

Terrelle Pryor Out vs. Texans

Texans chances on winning tomorrow and the chances that Bob McNair fires everybody after the game have just increased significantly. The Raiders didn’t wait till game time and went ahead and announced that starting QB Terrelle Pryor will not start. Pryor in his last game suffered a sprained MCL in his right knee and was a game time and questionable heading in to Sunday’s match up. Pryor on the season has played 8 games and lead the team to 3 wins and 5 losses. He will be replaced undrafted rookie Matt McGloin and in 1 game played for the Raiders this season he was 7 for 15 for 87 yards and the team lost to the Eagles 49 to 20. McGloin in 4 years at Penn State in college, completed 513 passes and attempted 894 passes for 6,390 yards. The Texans D gets to sink its horns into an undrafted rookie and at home they will be primed for a win. If they find a way to lose to a 3 and 5 team starting an undrafted rookie the team will have hit the franchise’s rock bottom.
