The rules of the NFL state that each team can dress a maximum of 46 players per game. This doesn't mean that seven players are hanging out like bfd, without clothes, but it does mean that fourteen men will be in street clothes at the start of tonight's contest.
This week, Texans fans dealt with the news that J.J. Watt has broken his hand. After we stopped crying and vomiting, we got to hear from Watt himself, who said he was playing and wasn't worried about it. That's somewhat comforting, because the Patriots got Rob Gronkowski back at practice and he is expected to play tonight.
