Ohh, this is from the same guy who's been promising he'd play for two weeks and then scratches at gametime. Proceed with caution and keep your eyes on the news if you've got the option of playing Chatman this weekend.

For the IDP guys out there

Quote:

Houston Chronicle (from Dec 18)

Ryans injured his right knee against Tampa Bay when he tore his posterior cruciate ligament.

He missed practice last week but started against Denver.

Dayne sprained his ankle three weeks ago and was unable to practice all of last week. He didn't start in the 31-13 victory over the Broncos, but ended up playing a critical role in the Dec. 13 game at Reliant Stadium.

Neither Ryans nor Dayne anticipates being sidelined for the next two games.

"I can't see that," said Ryans, who also has a sprained ankle. "This is what I enjoy doing.

"You'd have to cut my legs off to pull me off the field. I've been so blessed. I can't sit out a game. I enjoy it too much. I've never missed a game (at any level) because of injury. I'll be fine this week.

"I haven't been able to move like I want. But, being the quarterback of the defense, I can't let it slow me down. I've got to be out there."

Quote:

Dec 20 Ryans (knee) participated in Thursday's practice, the Texans' official site reports.

Recommendation: Ryans, who was named to the Pro Bowl earlier this week, is expected to play this week against Indianapolis.

He's on my bench
