Houston Texans’ Tidbits:

Brian Hoyer: Hoyer is still in concussion protocol and has been ruled OUT for tomorrow which was news that just broke at the time of this writing. He was previously listed as questionable as he was in attendance at practice this week but we now know that he will be a no-go for Sunday. Brandon Weeden will get the start while recently-signed QB B.J. Daniels will serve as his backup. This serves as a good move for the Texans as they don’t want to rush him back too soon.

Jared Crick: Crick injured his back during practice this week and is considered day-to-day. Bill O’Brien feels it has something to do with the midsection of his back but couldn’t confirm. Despite the setback, O’Brien does expect Crick to be in the lineup Sunday.

Cecil Shorts III: Shorts injured his hamstring against the Indianapolis Colts this past Sunday and did not return to the game. He hasn’t practiced all week and has already been ruled OUT for Sunday. Jaelen Strong, who caught the game-winning touchdown from Weeden in their historical 16-10 win this past Sunday, will get the start.
