Texans Pro Bowl left offensive tackle Duane Brown is considered unlikely to play Sunday against the Carolina Panthers, according to a source not authorized to speak publicly.

Brown is dealing with a painful thumb injury that he suffered during the preseason. He was able to play against the Kansas City Chiefs, but it wasn’t easy for him to do so due to the discomfort it caused as blocking aggravated the thumb even though it was heavily padded

JJ Watt aside, this should be a pretty easy victory (I know, I know, no such thing as "an easy win" in the NFL) but I see a blowout, something along the lines of 24-6 or 34-11 range

I never 'see a blowout' coming.

That's a good way to wind up shellshocked and disappointed.

every blowout we've ever pitched has always been completely unexpected, i think. the giants shutout in 2013 came after excruciating losses the prior two weeks. i remember thinking the chiefs were gonna play us tough in 2008, and then of course we went into last season's saints away game with a 3-8-1 record or something similarly atrocious

Not sure why more people don't expect blowouts from us...

Even so, I'll grant I'm kinda cautious by nature.

      The Athletic/Diana Russini: What I'm Hearing - "Bryce is Done in Carolina"

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      I think it was less Tepper mandating it and more Tepper finally relenting and allowing it. I've always maintained that I think what caused Reich to be fired midseason was likely him going to Tepper and saying something along the lines of "Either let me play Dalton and five this team a chance to compete or just go ahead and fire me now."

      I honestly think it was a mutual, collective decision. Canales might have been hired to be the Panthers head  coach because he was the best chance to get Bryce where he needed to be to succeed and did everything...I mean he and Morgan did EVERYTHING possible to create a successful situation for Bryce. And it was obvious... painfully obvious that not only was it not working, the team was losing and it was effecting everything. Canales was hired because they thought he could help Bryce, but he was hired as the PANTHERS head coach, not Bryce's personal coach. If everyone could see this was failing far beyond what anyone could have and it didn't look like it was anything that could be fixed quickly....then that everyone who could see would have to include Canales himself who is responsible for not just Bryce, but the whole damn team has to have looked at what it was doing to the team and their chances to win and said, we have to choose what is best for Bryce or the Panthers. He came in and said he had no personal attachment to any player, and that means he has no personal attachment to Bryce. He's going to do what is best to help the team win. If that means benching Bryce, then that's what he's going to do. Did he make this call without Teppers blessing or input? Hell no. Did they come into the Monday meeting having both come to the same conclusion regarding Bryce? I would have a hard time arguing that wasn't the case. All in leadership has to have seen it wasn't just not working...it was killing the team and they had to make this switch for the betterment of the team soon or else lose the season completely. No way would Canales had bern campaigning for Bryce to stay in there. He's not that dumb. Sometimes regardless of the work you do, you have to realize when it's futile and the earlier you recognize it, the better off you will be.
