Brown tore his right quadriceps tendon against the Jaguars on Sunday, which was a huge blow for the Texans as they take on the Chiefs this Saturday in their first postseason game since the 2012 season. Chris Clark will start on the left side and Derek Newton, who struggled in recent weeks, will be on the right as usual. But if something should happen to either of them, it leaves the rookie out of Appalachian State Kendall Lamm and third year tackle Oday Aboushi along with McDonald left.
McDonald is what you would call a journeyman.
