Texans report: Hopkins returns after knee injury

Jets tackle D’Brickashaw Ferguson will have his hands full against JJ Watt on Sunday. They just signed him on October 28th so he’s still learning the playbook.

Yates completed five of 11 passes for 69 yards in relief of Hoyer.

I love Fitz. I do. His last regular season start was during Week 17 of the 2011 season. He has 71 catches on a ridiculous 124 targets through nine games, and is already within striking distance of 1,000 yards and double-digit touchdowns, per ESPN.com. However, repeating the success from Monday night will be tough. “It will be a game-time decision”. All week long I’ve heard a lot of people asking what’s wrong with Aaron Rodgers? The Jets still believe they can be one of the teams playing in January. The defensive end thinks he’s off to just as dynamic a start this season.

“Some of those plays I ran in the game were the first time I’ve ever run them, period, practice or game”, he said.

WR Brandon Marshall vs. CB Johnathan Joseph- A disruptive Texans defense held one of the league’s top offenses to six points last week against the Bengals.

Cowboys coach Jason Garrett, in explaining Weeden’s release, told Dallas News that the move was done since Romo was anticipated to return to the game. A win against Fitzpatrick and Maccagnan’s old team would go a long way toward getting the Jets back on track. The Jets have not been very good in the past two games on third down, though, converting just 23 percent against the Bills last week and 33 percent against the Jaguars before that.

Texans wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins missed two days of practice this week with a knee injury, but he returned Friday and is expected to start Sunday..

He hasn’t thrown much in the league since then, having attempted no more than 22 passes in a single season. The Ravens have one of the best run defenses in football so I look for them to stop Todd Gurley and force Keenum to throw to beat them, which doesn’t seem likely.

RG: I think rookie Kevin Johnson will show once again why he was taken 16th overall. Maccagnan, Houston’s director of college scouting the last four years, worked closely with Texans GM Rick Smith during their time together and counts him as one of the biggest influences on his professional life. DE Muhammad Wilkerson has seven sacks, including two last week….

“This is a must-win game”, Pryor said.
