The Texans had been a really healthy football team until last week. They lost Kevin Johnson, Dylan Cole, and Bruce Ellington.
Concussions are always a terrible thing. But Johnson’s injury was major, playing time wise. Once again, Johnson was playing poorly to start the season.
Cole was useful, but his injury was more of a developmental than production cost.
And after Ellington was lost for the year, Houston subbed in rock star slot receiver Keke Coutee.
