00:00As we look at the injury report right here for the Texans and the Cardinals,

00:07I'll go with the Texans here.

00:09The important ones here, the guys that did return, Clint, Danico Autry,

00:15this has been his thing each week.

00:16He doesn't practice the first day that they're in pads,

00:20and then the second day he jumps in.

00:22Woody Marks, they have him disclosed as a knee,

00:25but he returned limited in practice.

00:28There was some video there of him going, Aziz Trent Brown,

00:32they returned to practice, Clint, and they were full participants.

00:36Sheldon Rankins, I saw a report initially that Sheldon Rankins did not practice today,

00:42but they do have him listed.

00:44They not only have him listed, they have him listed a full participant.

00:47How about that?

00:48Justin Watson, Clint, full participant.

00:51As he practiced today, he's been out.

00:55He was a full participant with that calf.

00:57We'll see what that means.

00:58For them.

00:59But the ones that did not practice, Clint, Nick Chubb, Titus Howard,

01:03his is non-injury related, just personal.

01:07So I don't think that affects the game very much.

01:10And then Kamari Lassiter, who has that foot issue.

01:13If you remember last week, he didn't practice all week,

01:16but still played and played exceptional in the game.

01:19Of those guys, and really it looks like Kamari and Nick Chubb, who's jumping out to you the most?

01:25Well, I think Nick Chubb and Woody Marks being did not practice designation and limited designation,

01:31I think the running back room overall is something to keep an eye on.

01:36I don't think it's coincidence that they signed Schrader.

01:40I don't think it's coincidence that they've fielded several questions about Daria Gumbawale.

01:48And so the running back room is just something to keep an eye on.

01:52One, I didn't hear you mention it.

01:53I may have been a little distracted.

01:55But EJ Speed with a limited need.

01:58Limited.

01:58He's been limited both days.

01:59That's one to keep an eye on.

02:01His role has expanded week after week after week,

02:05and he's become a pretty big part of this defense.

02:08And not that they could handle playing this defense without him,

02:13but he's become an integral piece.

02:15So keep an eye on him in a sense of whether he's going to be full go or not.

02:19Nick Chubb, the one that jumps to me, as you said,

02:23this to me looks like I'm at the point now on a Thursday,

02:27I'd be more surprised if he was able to go on Sunday.

02:33Left the game, never returned with those ribs,

02:35and now has not practiced all week in pads.

02:40And I think that is a pretty significant thing, as we've talked about a bit,

02:44is I don't know how many guys, if there is no Nick Chubb,

02:50that the offensive have trust to be in the backfield

02:54and trust to get snaps outside of Woody Marks and Daria Gumbawale.

03:00Which means, to me, when I hear that, it means to me Woody Marks.

03:05Woody Marks even more.

03:07And he was getting, felt like, shoot, 70%, 80% of the carries and snaps

03:14to begin with here lately, even with a healthy Nick Chubb.

03:18And you would think that would probably go up a bit.

03:20And it's just a concern, man.

03:23He is, this is the biggest load that he has had to kind of deal with work-wise.

03:28And the hits he's taken and the way he's running, he's running so hard,

03:31and he's become a huge, important part of this team.

03:35We'll see what they do with Nick Chubb.

03:36Keep an eye on it, man.

03:37That jumps out.

03:38The running back room as a whole, keep an eye on it.

03:40Marvin Harrison, heel, didn't practice back-to-back days for Arizona.

03:45Paris Johnson, he's going to be out.

03:46Their tackle, as well, did not practice.

03:49So those are, I think, the two big ones there to look at when it comes to the Arizona Cardinals.

03:57They've got some guys dealing with some things, too.

03:59So big one up, big one coming up.

04:01And we'll see tomorrow and learn more to see more about the Kamari Lassiters and the Nick Chubb.

04:06Well, I'm going to tell you, one guy that was limited for them that has the ability,

04:10I don't know if he's playing every snap, but the Walter Nolan kid.

04:14Yeah, you know him from around here.

04:16I believe he was at A&M before he went to Ole Miss.

04:19That's right, Tyler.

04:20Yes, sir.

04:21And he is a – I've seen highlights of him.

04:25Again, I don't know if he does at every play, but I've seen highlights of him.

04:28The future is bright for that young fellow, there's no doubt.

04:31So I wouldn't mind him being on the shelf with a bum knee this week if we could.

04:35We could help him.

04:36I'd be okay with that.

04:37Injuries have ate up his rookie season.

04:39He's really struggled with that.

04:41So that is the latest there as the Texans get ready to face the Cardinals.

04:49Five o'clock fire.

04:51All right, tonight the Rockets, they're back at it,

04:55and they will be home at Toyota Center to face the Clippers.

05:00And they've been one of the worst teams in the Western Conference.

05:03They've got six wins on the season right now.

05:05They've got that drama with Chris Paul being traded and everything going on there

05:10and injuries.

05:11But James Hart, he returns back.

05:14And it looks like, with the exception of the guys who've been hurt all year,

05:20it looks like the Rockets will be full strength.

05:22They'll get Shingun back and the rest of the game.

05:25And they'll take on the Clippers.

05:27And, Clint, this is one where it feels like the Rockets should handle the Clippers

05:33pretty well.

05:34This is one of the worst teams in the NBA so far to this point.

05:38And the Rockets should handle this Clippers team.

05:40Well, it's one of those games that with Harden on the other side,

05:43there's probably a lot of Rockets fans that will appreciate this one a little bit more.

05:48I was going to say, does James – is there still juice with that

05:53when the Rockets play James Harden, especially when he comes back here?

05:56Well, I don't know that there – I think for a select few,

06:00I think there's – that take a little extra joy in beating James.

06:03I think overall, I think – I was not a huge James Harden fan,

06:09but I think the Houston, Texas NBA fan base is –

06:16Yeah, but just whether you're a Rocket or just an NBA,

06:19I mean, I think most of them are fans of Harden

06:23and probably overlook some of the, you know, lack of performance

06:28and critical in big moments, the antics with the weight

06:32and all that kind of stuff.

06:33So I don't – I don't – I wouldn't imagine there's many folks like Tyler

06:40in this world that take – that take – get joy out of James Harden losing.

06:47Yeah.

06:47Tyler, is this still juice for you when James –

06:50No, no, not really.

06:51I mean, I don't want him to succeed because he's a turd of an individual,

06:54but no, not really.

06:56It's just –

06:57There it is.

06:57He likes honey buns, but he's not eating some of them.

07:01Just let him – just let him rise.

07:037-1-3-5-7-2-4-6-10.

07:05Do you – does it do anything for you?

07:07I remember we did this with DeAndre Hopkins,

07:10and there was – the last year it was just like, ah, nah.

07:14It does nothing anymore when the Texans have to play DeAndre Hopkins.

07:18Have we reached that point with James Harden?

07:21I mean, would anybody even give a damn to boo him tonight?

07:23Like, I don't even know – it does feel like that is – that is kind of going its course,

07:30the James Harden thing.

07:31But they'll get back at it tonight, and we'll see what this looks like.

07:36So, Rockets, see if they can get a dub, get this thing rolling again coming up tonight.

07:41I've got to actually know how to play basketball.

07:44Five o'clock fire.

07:46All right, we'll see and hear a lot of this tonight in T-Mills Best Bets.

07:50But Thursday Night Football, Clint, and you can come on out here, Buffalo Wild Wings.

07:54TV's all over the place.

07:56I am surrounded by TVs lined up all around me.

08:01So, you can come out here to Buffalo Wild Wings here in Baytown

08:04and watch a little Thursday Night Football or the Rockets that we just talked about.

08:08But the Falcons and the Bucs, Clint, this is a very important game to the Tampa Bay Bucs.

08:15And they were off rolling early.

08:17We saw them week two when they got the win.

08:20They got off to a fast start and thought they were going to run away with that division.

08:24But now they have the same record as the Carolina Panthers right now.

08:27And they have been struggling.

08:28They've had a lot of injuries creep up for them.

08:31But they're playing the Falcons.

08:33And they are such a wild card of a team.

08:36They're not going anywhere.

08:37But they do have weapons.

08:40And Kirk Cousins sometimes feels it at times.

08:42And you've got B. John Robinson and the Bucs really need this game.

08:47I thought the Bucs were a Super Bowl level team.

08:50That feels like that has changed up to this point.

08:54But they've got to have this win at home against the Falcons.

08:58Yeah, I mean, look, the Bucs have looked like a team that could win a Super Bowl early on

09:01in some of the things they were doing.

09:03But of late, I mean, I haven't kept real close tabs on the Bucs.

09:06I think Mike Evans might be back, might have a chance to play tonight.

09:09Is he active sexual?

09:11I think the defense is the part that's a little disappointing

09:14and has been inconsistent, to put it nicely, this year.

09:18So the offense has bailed them out on a couple of high-scoring affairs.

09:21But the defense has been the struggle.

09:24So, you know, we'll see a scary team.

09:26I mean, definitely a scary team that can beat damn near anybody.

09:31Yeah.

09:31No, yeah.

09:32They are a four-and-a-half-point favorite tonight against the Bucs.

09:39So that will be a big one for Baker.

09:41No, against the Falcons.

09:42I mean, against the Falcons.

09:43The Bucs are a four-and-a-half-point favorite in this game.

09:47So big one tonight for the NFC South, the worst division in football.

09:52We'll see if the Bucs can get a dub to take control of that division.

09:56Five o'clock fire.
