Texans QB Yates out with knee injury

Other inactive players for the Colts were cornerbacks Greg Toler and D’Joun Smith, safety Colt Anderson, linebackers Bjoern Werner and Sio Moore, and guard Lance Louis.

The issues for the Colts go well beyond the injuries on both sides of the ball.

“Obviously, we had a great opportunity and didn’t take advantage”, Indianapolis Colts coach Chuck Pagano said.

Early on, the Colts defense was doing its part via turnovers.

“We played well in all aspects”, safety Mike Adams said of the defense.

Cannon-armed former first-round pick Brandon Weeden is next up for the Texans at quarterback.

Clausen threw his first touchdown pass with the Ravens, a 1-yarder to Kyle Juszczyk, in the first quarter.

Hasselbeck was 17 of 30 with 147 yards, one touchdown and one interception, and needed help from Charlie Whitehurst to finish the game.

John McClain of the Houston Chronicle reported the team fears Yates tore his ACL after early testing on the injury.

Nick Novak added his second field goal, from 32 yards out, with 1:56 left. Yates was injured on the run. Keep moving that forward and Weeden could be starting a playoff game in a few weeks, which would probably lead to quite the exasperated reaction from his former employers in Dallas across the state.

Trailing 13-10 with 3 minutes to play, they had possession at their own 49. Houston’s emergency quarterback would be punter Shane Lechler.

Robert Mathis would next get involved into the Colts pass rush. Houston’s first-half drives began at the Texans’ 20, 11, 20, 7, 20 and 8-yard lines…

One streak ended, but another continued Sunday afternoon at Lucas Oil Stadium. The field goal was set up via a Ryan Fitzpatrick 43 yard pass to Kenbrell Thompkins as the quarterback continues to establish himself.
