Knee Questionable

Nothing is particularly surprising here. Those guys have been suffering nagging injuries all season. However, in this matchup Wilfork will not be as crucial because the Jaguars can’t run the ball. But Bouye will be a big loss if he can’t go because of the Jaguars threats on the outside. Fuller has been a catalyst all year for the offense, and will be a huge loss if he can’t go.

**Jared Odrick was removed from the game status report with the foot injury, but did not participate in practice today due to personal reasons (not injury related).

Odrick has been a crucial piece in the Jaguars defensive line rotation this season, so not having him will be a crucial loss. Gipson has helped turn around a broken secondary, his loss would be huge. Hurns has been a disappointment this season, but still is a threat anytime he steps on the field. Overall the injury report favors the Texans.
