The Facts: Yates said he has no doubt he'll be able to play next week in the first round of the playoffs.

Diehards Line:"He’s got a bruised shoulder at this moment," Texans coach Gary Kubiak said after the game. "He’s being evaluated. He will be evaluated this evening. We’ll get some pictures of it here this evening, and I’ll know more tomorrow. He could’ve went back in the game. Obviously, I didn’t want him to go back in the game." “I dinged up the shoulder a little bit,” Yates said. “I could see how it was kind of amped up to be a big deal, but it’s not that big of a deal. It didn’t really hurt that bad; just something we wanted to make sure we didn’t make any worse.”
