    Texans announce Ahman Green is nursing a sprained ankle

    Ahman Green clearly was limping an hour after the game Sunday. The rest of his teammates were already with their families or on the bus, and Green was still slowly getting around to pack up his bags.

    At the time, he said he had just "cramped up" and that he was feeling well otherwise. Today, we find out it's a whole other story. He likely sprained his ankle in the first half of the game and is having it looked at this afternoon. The Texans are concerned about how much time Green may miss.

    They are trying out a handful of running backs tomorrow, and they clearly are ready to call up Darius Walker from the practice squad if needed.

    This is obviously the last thing the Texans wanted to have happen with Green. They gave him time to heal his injuries, and they have given him the benefit of the doubt. What do you do with Ahman Green now though?

    No suprise and no big loss IMO. I was hoping to see Slaton starting at some point in the season but didn't think it would be this soon. I definitely didn't like seeing Slaton getting pounded play after play vs. the Steelers.

    Even though I want to see Slaton get most of the carries, I'm sure we'll see more of a committee with Taylor/Slaton/Walker. I don't think there is a RB in the league that can taking a beating like our O-Line was letting happen week after week.

    i nominate thechosen0ne as mr. breaking news.

    as for green, i predict his next injury will be jumper's knee. that's right, the same ailment that kept vince carter from playing.

    He has to be able to play in week 2 to get his money. I forget the details, but that's the jist of it.

    I dont care about the stupid boating or character issues, Benson has the size and the speed and the ability for a big workload.

    I would love to see him in a Texans uniform, I think he would flourish in Alex Gibb's scheme.... speaking of which did horrible in pass protection and rush blocking against the steelers

    The guy should retire. He shouldn't build up the hopes of his teammates, the coaches, the owner, and the fans if he can't handle 20 minutes of NFL football.

    Benson was really cut because he wasn't a good NFL back, was way overpaid and his teammates disliked him. He never played well in Chicago.
