Texans QB Hoyer still in protocol, Weeden expected to start

Now they can clinch that championship, with the easiest scenario a Houston win and a Colts loss or tie in Miami.

Wenger confident of bouncing back against Bournemouth
Southampton scored three more on the day-one of them a lovely team goal that didn’t come without its own bit of controversy. Long got the better of the Arsenal defence again in stoppage time, driving the ball under Petr Cech’s legs for 4-0.

Despite the lack of sacks, Houston coach Bill O’Brien raved about the work Watt’s been doing since he was injured. Yates was forced into action twice when Hoyer went down with a concussion and finished a pair of victories.


Martin Shkreli sacked as CEO as fraud charges laid
Shkreli said he had been targeted by regulars for his much-criticized drug-price hikes and over-the-top public persona. Shkreli was charged with securities fraud and conspiracy last Thursday stemming from his stint as hedge fund manager.

-QB Alex Tanney came back to the Titans after spending time this year on the Colts practice squad. Now he’s in line to start with Hoyer still recovering from his second concussion in less than a month. He lost that job to Matt Cassel before being waived November 17 and claimed by the Texans the next day. Weeden has had very little time to get acclimated to the Houston offense, but Hoyer seems to be making a strong push to suit up. That is kind of to be expected. I’ll take his word for it. It will be interesting to see if Romeo Crenel continues to come up with ways this Sunday for J.J.to get after quarterbacks without having to engage linemen in hand to hand combat (stunts and what not), or if they wait until the postseason to unveil some more of that stuff. “I’m definitely going to be more comfortable moving forward here”. “I have my arm, it’s just clubbed up, so I don’t feel so bad”.


Louis Van Gaal out? Manchester United lose again
I have to deal with that, but much more important is that the players have to deal with that because they have to perform”. Van Gaal insisted United didn’t “dare to play football” against Stoke .

Houston has persevered through the quarterback carousel and the loss of Arian Foster, who missed the first three games with a groin problem before suffering a season-ending torn right Achilles in Week 7. The real question will be Weeden, and if he take shots down the field to Pro Bowl WR DeAndre Hopkins.

“That comes in and out”, he said of the pain. Poutasi started at right tackle while Ken Whisenhunt was head coach, but was immediately bumped to the bench and told to learn the guard position.

-S Da’Norris Searcy (hamstring) practiced after missing last week’s game with a hamstring injury and is a little further along in his return than the Titans originally believed.

The Titans got the ball to start Sunday’s game, but their first drive ended with the Texans holding a 7-0 lead.

FAST FACTS: With 1.5 sacks, Watt would join Reggie White as the only players with 15-plus sacks in three of his first five National Football League seasons.

“That’s just the situation I’ve been put in”, Mettenberger said Wednesday.
