Gary Kubiak announced immediately after Friday's practice that Ahman Green's season is over. Green (shown here stealing $$ from the Texans) is being placed on IR with the knee injury he's been unable to shake since the season opener. That creates the roster spot necessary for Shane Boyd to be signed from the practice squad and serve as the #2 QB this week, while Matt Schaub recovers from a separated left shoulder.Here's a recap. Ahman played well in each of the first two games of the season, although Dayne spelled him in the 4th quarter of both so the Texans could grind out the clock. Green finished no other games the rest of the year, and amassed just 116 yards in those ten weeks while missing 6 games entirely. My big problem is their reluctance to address this problem correctly. Why did he practice during the week all the time, when it was obvious that would cause the knee to swell up the next day and keep him inactive for a game that was days away. He was hurt in the first game, he basically should have never practiced again or if that was not the solution, then he should have had surgery and/or been placed on IR at that time.
Again to recap.
Green was hurt in week one, gained just 187 yards in ten weeks, while missed parts or all of every game - yet was not placed on IR until the 14th week of the season. That is not smart.Both Adimchinobe Echemandu and Darius Walker will be active for Sunday's game, along with Dayne who willl start, but does have a minor ankle issue. Also Mike Brisiel will get the start at guard in place of Fred Weary, which is not a good sign for 6th rd drarft pick Kasey Studdard, who Coach Kubiak has been praising all year, but couldn't beat out a guy recently signed off the practice squad.
