Probable for Texans: Brandon Brooks, Derek Newton, Ryan Mallett, Jadeveon Clowney, Johnathan Joseph, Eddie Pleasant, Xavier Su'a-Filo

The X-man is expected to suit up and be available ? That's good news. Wonder if he starts or the new guy at LG they just picked and who played vs TB plays instead ?

Yep. First game this year that we'll be at full strength on the OL. Plus, we might have Foster back, at least in some capacity. Hopefully all of that equals a competitive output.

the new guy looked far better than X-man has ever looked. I would go with him and use Xman for depth

Seeing reports that Foster is going to give it a go. Hopefully this helps.
