Texans' Johnathan Joseph has cracked ribs, bruised lung

There is a chance the Texans could be playing at Indianapolis on Sunday without cornerback Johnathan Joseph.

In the 21-13 loss at Green Bay, Joseph suffered two cracked ribs and a bruised lung in the fourth quarter when the Texans and Packers were tied 7-7.

Joseph's status for the Indianapolis game has yet to be determined.

After Joseph left with the injuries, the Packers scored two touchdowns. Joseph's replacement, Charles James, slipped on Aaron Rodgers' touchdown pass to Jordy Nelson that proved to be the game winner.

Joseph, 32, is playing in his sixth season with the Texans and has been one of their best and most reliable players.
