The Texans had already ruled out five players for tonight's contest in a release yesterday, including two of their top three receivers in Cecil Shorts and Nate Washington. On top of that, Jonathan Grimes, Quintin Demps, and Akeem Dent were all announced to be sidelined as well. Be prepared to see quite a bit of rookie trio Benardrick McKinney, Jaelen Strong, and Keith Mumphery in this one, folks.
Whitney Mercilus, Lonnie Ballentine, and Chris Polk were also listed as questionable as of yesterday.
