At this point of the season, NFL teams regularly have half their squad in the trainers’ rooms each week for extra treatment. The Texans and Colts are no different. The Texans got some good news this week, but the news also emerged that Brian Cushing is playing with fractures in his back.
The Texans had already ruled out five players for Sunday’s game after Friday’s practice session. Tyler Ervin (ribs), Braxton Miller (shoulder), Tom Savage (elbow), and John Simon (chest) did not practice and were ruled out. Johnathan Joseph (ribs) also didn’t practice, but he’s officially questionable for the game.
