Houston Texans vs 49ers: 2017 Week 14: Injury Report Analysis
The Houston Texans season filled with ups and downs continues with a 4-8 record but here’s some injuries to keep your eye on.
The Houston Texans and the San Francisco 49ers will be taking the field today, here’s a few injuries that you need to know about.
For the Houston Texans, here are the players that are listed on the injury report:
G Jeff Allen, Hand
RB Alfred Blue, Hamstring
OLB/DE Jadeveon Clowney, Ankle
T Julién Davenport, Shoulder
WR Will Fuller, Ribs
CB Kareem Jackson, Shoulder
ILB Jelani Jenkins, Concussion
CB Johnathan Joseph, Shoulder
C/G Greg Mancz, Shoulder
WR Braxton Miller, Concussion
G Xavier Su’a-Filo, Groin
WR Chris Thompson, Knee
WR Jordan Todman, Hand
Blue, Davenport, Jenkins and Miller are OUT. Su’a-Filo is QUESTIONABLE. Allen, Blue, Clowney, Fuller, Jackson, Joseph, Mancz, Thompson and Todman are PROBABLE.
Houston Texans’ Tidbits:
Will Fuller: Fuller hasn’t seen action since Week 10 on the road against the Los Angeles Rams, when he was sandwiched catching a ball that Tom Savage threw into double-coverage. Since then, he’s been recovering from some cracked ribs but is now ready to go for this week. He was limited in practice Wednesday but has done so in full for the rest of this past week. I was all for not having him play through pain as we’re not currently contending for anything this season. But nonetheless, it’s good to see him back out there as he’s additional, speedy threat in the air for the Houston Texans offense.
Xavier Su’a-Filo: Su’a-Filo sustained a groin injury in last week’s contest against the Tennessee Titans and did not get back to the practice field until Friday. However, he is expected to be available to start today to help out the left side of the offensive line. Although he hasn’t been great, he’s been reliable enough to keep around and there’s seems to be improvement on his end as well.
And here’s the injury report for the San Francisco 49ers:
T Trenton Brown, Shoulder
S Adrian Colbert, Thumb
DT DeForest Buckner, Not Injury Related
DE Elvis Dumervil, Not Injury Related
DT Earl Mitchell, Not Injury Related
S Eric Reid, Knee
T Joe Staley, Not Injury Related
Brown is QUESTIONABLE. Colbert, Buckner, Dumervil, Mitchell, Reid and Staley are PROBABLE.
San Francisco 49ers Tidbits:
Trenton Brown: The starting right tackle has been dealing with a shoulder injury for the past couple of weeks but he seems to be trending in the direction of playing. Kyle Shanahan has officially ruled him a game-time decision but we’ll have to see if he’s ultimately a go for the Niners today. He has been playing rather well at this position, earning a 79.3 seasonal grade from Pro Football Focus.
