The Facts: Houston was downgraded Saturday from doubtful to out with a left knee injury and did not accompany the team for its game at Jacksonville.

Diehards Line:Eric Mangini gave no details on the injury during the week, but the Newark Star-Ledger reported that an MRI on Monday revealed a hyperextension in the knee. It was uncertain how long Houston will be sidelined. Kevan Barlow and Leon Washington will see slight increases in their touches with Houston out.
