00:00because the Texans didn't get any better with the news that

00:05Stefan digs towards ACL on Sunday versus the Colts season

00:09over for him.

00:10Now, you might be looking to the you know markets to try to

00:13say.

00:13All right, where can we fit in another wide receiver when so

00:16many of the big names have already been taken off the

00:18board?

00:18It's a you never wish injuries earlier in the season, but

00:21maybe if digs towards ACL two weeks ago, you could have made

00:24a move for one of the top flight names.

00:25Now you still have Nico Collins.

00:27He's coming back one of the better young wide receivers in

00:29the NFL.

00:29Tankdale is certainly a very good piece, but Stefan digs

00:32sort of tied it all together for me for the Houston Texans.

00:35They sit at six and two is their season over.

00:37Absolutely not.

00:37Do I still think they win the division?

00:39Yes, I do.

00:40But the fact of the matter is that top-end ceiling really

00:43gets hit a little bit with digs injury here.

00:45Now, it is only one player.

00:46It's one wide receiver.

00:47I get it.

00:47You can replace him and try to get some of that production

00:50in the free agent market slack, you know, should I say

00:53unrestricted free agent market and also in the trade markets

00:55here, but if we are looking at the Houston Texans overall

00:58win totals, they're 11 and a half 11 and a half a massive

01:01favorite still to win the AFC South, but a devastating injury

01:04nonetheless here to the Texans here doves.

01:07Yeah, and look Nico's gonna have to take a bulk of the

01:10productivity moving forward.

01:12He's been fantastic, but it's certainly not not great news,

01:16you know, just having that experience in the locker room.

01:18Donnie Stefan digs, I would say still at the peak of his

01:21powers and it's a lot tougher than trying to scheme from

01:24the other side of the ball.

01:25If you got a couple of big threats for the Texans coming

01:28at you.

01:28The run game has still been very strong.

01:29Joe Mixon has looked fantastic since coming back and you've

01:33still got one of the best quarterbacks in the league there

01:35in CJ Stroud, but devastating news for Stefan digs going to

01:39be a free agent going in to next season.

01:42It was a non-contact injury so that they're always a little

01:45more serious when there's no one even around you just go down

01:49like I guess the old deck chair out the back of the pool there.

01:52So for the Texans trying to go forward, they've started in

01:55really good fashion.

01:56They picked up where they left off.

01:57They're sitting at six and two that win total for me.

01:59Donnie a little scary at 11 and a half.

02:02They've got the Jets on deck for Thursday night football, but

02:05a lot has to go in favor to pick up another six wins and go

02:09over that mark.

02:10I still think they're the team to beat in a lackluster division,

02:14but can we pick up another six between now and the playoffs

02:17that's going to be big.
