He has got to still be injured. 39 total tackles through 5 games? He looked very slow against Miami and seemed to be constantly out of position. There were also tackles he didn't make that he never missed before. Ronnie Brown ran right through his arms a couple of times. If this Texans defense and team is going to be successful, they need a healthy Demeco Ryans.
Yeah, I've been a little disappointed in Demeco this season. He has missed open field tackles in previous games as well that really effected the game. Stuff he was nailing in previous years.
If it's something that sitting for a week will help, now is the time. I'd rather have him healthy for 10 out of last 11 games, especially when it's Detroit coming to town.
