By Carter Toole HoustonTexans.com http://www.houstontexans.com/news/news_detail.php?PRKey=1688 Friday the 13th passed without incident, but tight end Bennie Joppru's run of bad luck reared its head again just three days later. Joppru went down Monday during the Texans' first coaching session of 2005. The former second-round pick made a cut on a pass route during a non-contact drill and was helped off the field by the training staff. "I've seen Bennie out here during our off-season work over the past two months running the same kind of routes," head coach Dom Capers said. "It's just one of those things. He planted his foot to make a cut and the next thing I know he went down. We'll not jump to any conclusions. We'll wait to see what the doctor's diagnosis is and go from there." Joppru, the 41st overall selection in the 2003 draft, has spent the past two seasons on injured reserve with a groin injury. "He's probably over the last three years had as tough a luck as anybody. But that's part of this game. It's just unfortunate
I have spoken to Joppru on a number of occasions. He is a class guy looking for a chance to get on the field. Hopefully it is not too serious.
Wow, what bad luck this guy has. If it is even remotely serious I would think the Texans will cut their losses and move on.
Maybe we can trade Joppru for Kellen Winslow I can't see Capers putting up with this again so I think he will be cut before training camp starts.

It's time to trade for a tight end to get this offense going. Or maybe the Titans or another team will cut a good one. Especialy one that can block so Carr can get a few more passes off.
