In terms of making the playoffs, this game means nothing to the Texans. That fact might explain why Bill O’Brien had already made the call to sit four guys today.
Jadeveon Clowney (elbow, wrist) has been battling injuries for a minute now, and this might finally be a chance to let him rest and hopefully heal before we really need his services. Lamar Miller (ankle) missed last week as well and we need him fully healthy for our playoff run, so he’ll be sitting today’s game out. Jay Prosch (ankle, knee) has been on the injury report for various ailments throughout the season, but we need him healthy for the playoffs so he can open holes for Miller.
