Houston Texans’ Tidbits:

Benardrick McKinney:The third-year linebacker has been putting up quite an impression since being inserted in the lineup on a regular basis but he’s been dealing with a bum hip. He has played through it but didn’t practice earlier this week as a result. He did return Friday in limited participation.McKinney has said he will play so expect to see him out there, hopefully wreaking havoc.

Corey Moore:Moore sustained his concussion early into Sunday night’s game against the Chiefs. He currently is in protocol and it’s befitting that the team rule him out in the matter of safety, especially with the bye week coming up. I’d imagine he’ll be back in the road game against the Seattle Seahawks but with the solid level of play byMarcus Gilchristas of late, things will keep humming on the last line of defense.

Greg Mancz: Mancz apparently injured his knee against the Pats in Week 3 and has been limited in practice this week as well as the last. Even though Mancz is questionable,Jeff Allenwas going to start at right guard presumptuously but his help is always needed. Mancz has contributed mightily to the offensive line although his play as of late has been slightly below par. He was active against the Chiefs but hasn’t taken a snap since Week 3 so we’ll have to see how things pan out for him.

And here’s the injury reportfor the Cleveland Browns:

LBJames Burgess, Knee

LBB.J. Bello, Neck

WRKenny Britt, Knee/Groin

WRSammie Coates, Hamstring

OLShon Coleman, Knee

DLJamie Meder, Toe

DBJamar Taylor, Ribs

OLJ.C. Tretter, Knee

OLKevin Zeitler, Thumb

Burgess has been ruled asDOUBTFUL.Britt, Coleman and Tretter has been ruled asQUESTIONABLE.Bello, Coates, Collins, Garrett, Meder, Shelton, Telfer, Taylor, Thomas and Zeitler arePROBABLE.

Cleveland Browns Tidbits:

Kenny Britt:The Browns’ top target on offense has been dealing with a knee/groin injury for the past couple of weeks. He was held out last week against the New York Jets and has been limited in practice all week. His status is currently day-to-day and questionable for Sunday. ExpectRicardo Louisto get the start if Britt can’t go. He was targeted eight times and caught five balls for 71 yards last week. He also has a poor 43.9 grade from Pro Football Focus so far on the season after taking 50 or more snaps through the past three weeks.

Shon Coleman:The starting right tackle has sustained a knee injury and just returned back to the practice this Friday. He has played quite solidly and is quite integral to their strong offensive line.Hue Jackson does expect him to be available despite his questionablestatus.

J.C. Tretter:The starting center is also dealing with a knee injury but returned to practice Friday. He has had an up-and-down season with his coverage but he certainly needed in that unit. Jackson does expect Tretter to be available butAustin Reitermay get the start if he can’t go for some unforeseen reason.
