Bill O'Brien: Texans OL Brandon Brooks could be out against Patriots

Houston Texans starting right guard Brandon Brooks might not play against the New England Patriots next Sunday night, Texans coach Bill O'Brien said Monday during his weekly press conference.

"I think he was pretty sick, so I think it’s too soon (to say)," O'Brien said. "I am hoping that it is going to be OK, but it is probably too soon to tell right now."

Brooks stayed overnight in Buffalo after being transported to the Erie County Medical Center during warmups Sunday. Brooks woke up feeling ill, experiencing heavy sweating and vomiting.
