Rashad Butler Could Start Sunday

Left tackle Duane Brown of the Texans didn't practice Wednesday because of a sprained knee.

Rashad Butler, who is playing his third season with the Texans, will start if Brown can't play at Jacksonville at noon Sunday.

“I feel good about him,” coach Gary Kubiak said about Brown's chances of playing. “It's really scary if you saw the play (against Indianapolis). You'd have thought something really bad could have happened, so I think we're very, very lucky.

“His toughness, his frame of mind right now, he'd have gone today if I'd asked him to.

“But we'll rest him and probably practice him on Friday.”
