| Re: Texans lose Mathis
Mathis was named to the Pro Bowl as a rookie last season, electrifying Texans fans by finishing second in the NFL with a 28.6 average on kickoff returns.
Mathis returned 54 kickoffs for 1,542 yards and two touchdowns as well as 12 punts for 68 yards.
He also caught five passes for 63 yards and a touchdown.
"Since Jerome has come back from the Pro Bowl, he has struggled with his ankle," Texans head coach Gary Kubiak said. "We took some time off, rehabbed it, did everything we could [and] it was making progress.
"Jerome had an accident along the way, but he came out for practice. It continued to bother him and we took an extensive look at it last week and, unfortunately, we found out what it was a stress fracture."
Mathis was drafted out of Hampton in the fourth round (114th overall) in 2005.
I totally like this kid. They say he migt have re-injured in the Pro-Bowl of all things... here is a spot where Reggie Bush could have helped until the Mathis returns...hindsight being what it is... |
