Mathis

Texans coach Gary Kubiak says after Sunday’s embarrassing loss to Atlanta, he’s just hoping some players will return from the injured list quickly.  He’s optimistic that receivers Jerome Mathis and Jacoby Jones will be back at practice tomorrow, and so will cornerback Fred Bennett.  Running back Ahman Green may return later this week after a knee injury.  If not, Kubiak says Ron Dayne is ready to fill-in.  It’s less certain when receiver Andre Johnson will come back.  His knee injury has healed, but he’s still recovering.
