Andre Johnson (wide receiver) on if Kubiak is unable to attend practices

"“If he’s not here, then Rico (Rick Dennison) can handle it. That’s pretty much it. When you have adversity, you just have to adjust to it. Right now, we’ve been going through a lot of adversity. This is another piece of it that we have to deal with. In my opinion, I think he’ll be back.”"

Shane Lechler (punter) on the mood of the team without Kubiak

"“It’s kind of, I hate to say it, it is what it is right now. We know Gary’s doing better. That’s a good sign. We respect his family and their privacy. We’re going to leave it at that right now. I hope to see him soon.”"

Joe Mays (linebacker) on the uncertainty of who the head coach will be

"“That doesn’t matter. That doesn’t really matter. I think we’re in great hands with whoever has to step up. You’re in great hands because we have a great group of coaches. We have a great group of players. At the end of the day, we’re going to go out and play great football. That’s how I feel about it.”"
