Texans' Duane Brown 'very encouraged' by progress

When Texans veteran offensive tackle Duane Brown tore his quadriceps tendon during the final game of last season and underwent surgery to repair the damage, the three-time Pro Bowl blocker knew he faced a long road to recovery.

As Brown practiced for the second time this week, he's upbeat about his outlook while remaining noncommittal on his status for Sunday's game against the Tennessee Titans. The Texans are still preparing Chris Clark to start at left tackle against the Titans, but haven't ruled out having Brown play this week with more of an eye toward the following week against the Minnesota Vikings.
