The Facts: Savage remains in the concussion protocol following an ugly scene in Houston last week, and sources tell CBSSports.com's Jason La Canfora it is unlikely he plays again this season.
Diehards Line:
Savage is progressing and began feeling better last week, but the Texans are out of the playoff hunt, and they are under fire for how they handled Savage's head injury a week ago -- he quickly returned to the game after suffering the concussion. Furthermore, Savage is an unrestricted free agent at season's end, and risking further head trauma in the final weeks of the season makes little sense for all parties involved. Savage was rounding into form in recent weeks prior to having his head hit the turf while being tackled in the end zone last week.
