JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) -Three defensive starters returned to practice Friday for the Jacksonville Jaguars and were expected to play against the Houston Texans. Cornerback Rashean Mathis (hamstring), defensive tackle John Henderson (hamstring) and safety Donovin Darius (knee) had missed the previous two days of practice. All three remain questionable, but returning to practice was a sign they would be able to play Sunday. Pro Bowl defensive tackle Marcus Stroud (ankle) was officially ruled out, and wil |

| (MySportsbook) - I'm sure no one on the New York Giants will admit they were looking past the Houston Texans and toward an upcoming showdown against the Chicago Bears. It was tighter than most expected, but New York found a way to scrape by with a 14-10 victory on Sunday, and a win in the NFL is what matters most for every team, including the 6-2 Giants. The top team in the NFC East is enjoying a five-game winning streak, the longest under head coach Tom Coughlin, and has won six of its first eight games f |

The 2005 first-round draft pick had an interception and went 53 yards to the house for a punt-return touchdown. That was one day after he allegedly spit on a woman at a night club. Fisher susp |

HOUSTON (AP) -Gary Kubiak certainly didn't envision his first season as a head coach getting off to such a rocky start. At the season's halfway mark, the Houston Texans have won just two games and carry the NFL's longest road losing streak. But it's not all bad news as Kubiak sees improvement in his team every day. The biggest reason for optimism, he says, is the progress of his young defense. ``We're heading in the direction of having an excellent football team from a defensive standpoint,'' he said |
