Houston Texans’ Tidbits:

Jadeveon Clowney: According to the Houston Chronicle’s Aaron Wilson, Clowney has been dealing with stiffness in his lower back since an injury that he sustained against the Tennessee Titans before the bye week. Although he did return to practice Wednesday, he was held out for the rest of the week because it kept tightening up. Bill O’Brien said that “he’s dealing with a back issue and it’s painful, so we’ve got to give it a little more time.” This is tough news to digest for the 2014 No. 1 pick of the NFL Draft. If it’s not one thing it’s the other and the guy just cannot stay on the field for whatever reason. However, when he is on the field, he does wreck havoc and does disrupt things but we’re all holding on our breath to see if he hurts himself in some way. I’m still holding out on calling him a bust although he’s certainly trending in that direction. As usual, John Simon will be ready to go.

Kareem Jackson: Jackson will miss his third game in a row as he is still dealing with a sprained right ankle against the Jacksonville Jaguars back on Oct. 18. There’s no indication yet of when he’ll be able to return but rookie corner Kevin Johnson will start in his place. This is certainly helpful to Johnson, who will be getting some meaningful game reps at such a young age. He will start opposite Johnathan Joseph.

And here’s the injury report for the Cincinnati Bengals:

OT Andre Smith, Concussion

LB Vontaze Burfict, Knee

LB Rey Maualuga, Calf

C Kevin Zeitler, Ankle

Smith has been ruled OUT. Burfict, Maualuga and Zeitler are probable and are ready to play Monday.
