Houston Texans’ Tidbits:
John Simon: Simon has been dealing with a chest injury for quite some time but this past week’s ding to it caused him to exit the game. He did not return.He hasn’t practiced all weekand has already been ruledOUTfor Sunday.Bill O’Brienhas signaled that he’ll be out for awhile. I’d expectAkeem Dentto start in his place for the time being.
Alfred Blue: Blue sustained an injury to his calf two weeks ago against the Jacksonville Jaguars.He hasn’t practiced all weekand will beOUTagainst the Chargers.Jonathan Grimesis now healthy after suffering from an illness. He practiced in full this week so he’ll plugged-in to take his spot.
Tyler Ervin: Ervin — the team’s lead kick returner — took a hard hit to the ribs early in the first half of last week’s game against the Oakland Raiders. He exited the game and did not return. He hasn’t practiced all week and has already been ruledOUTfor Sunday. ExpectBraxton Millerto slide into his spot until Ervin is healthy once again. Because of the severity of the injury, it may be awhile.

San Diego Chargers Tidbits:
Jatavis Brown: The rookie linebacker has been struggling to return from a knee injury that he sustained late last month. He hasn’t practiced all week and he has already been ruledOUTfor Sunday. Expect three-year linebackerKorey Toomerto take his spot — he has had 20 tackles, one pass defended and one forced fumble in the two games he has started for Brown so far.
Brandon Flowers: The veteran cornerbacksustained a concussion in Week 10 against the Miami Dolphins after his head went into contactwithRyan Tannehill‘s leg. The Chargers were on bye this past week but Flowers is still under concussion protocol. He hasn’t passed through it yet with him being ruledOUT,so look for sophomore cornerCraig Magerto fill-in for him on the left side. This marks as Flowers’ 4th concussion over the past three seasons.
