Aldon Smith is on the non-football illness list. He's not on the 53-man roster. That's why he isn't on the inactive list.

Unfortunately, they're 0-2 with him the line-up, but this breakdown on NFL Playbook by Brian Baldinger shows the impact that Reed is having in the secondary. He clearly impacts where the ball gets thrown. Unfortunately, JJo and ReemBoi25 haven't been 100% up to the challenge. Hope the tide starts turning today with Cushing back on the field!
For all the discussion about Schaub, I just want to say that I hope he plays well tonight and helps the Texans get a huge road victory.
Well Schaub this is your moment to shut everyone up. Schaub and Kubiak are under a major microscope. Not feeling confident. Hope I'm wrong.

If the Texans suck again on the big stage tonight, this is the sentiment I will start to take as well.
im a schaub hater but i think he has a solid game, couple tds, no ints.. mayeb even a game clinching drive..
