Texans Running back Ben Tate suffered a strained groin in the second quarter of the Pittsburgh game. Coach Gary Kubiak said he is day-to-day, but the Texans hope he will be healthy enough to be available Sunday to back up Arian Foster according to John McClain of the Houston Chronicle.
“I’m hoping by the end of the week that (Tate) is ready to go,” Kubiak said.

Mangold has a tremendous pain threshold and is known to be a quick healer, but a high ankle sprain would put almost anyone out for at least a week. The extent of how long Mangold will be out remains to be determined, but it could be in the 2-to-4-week range.
The All-Pro center was injured when Jaguars LB Daryl Smith fell on Mangold’s leg. He exited the game and didn’t return.
Mangold has started every game for the Jets since entering the league as a first-round draft pick in 2006. If he is forced to miss time, Colin Baxter will fill in at center. Jets coach Rex Ryan praised Baxter’s effort in relief against the Jags.
Robert Turner was in line to serve as Mangold’s backup this season, but he suffered a broken leg during the preseason.

Dez Bryant’s status is uncertain after missing Sunday’s contest against San Francisco. Miles Austin may be out until Week 6 and Felix Jones is dealing with a separated shoulder. In Jones’ case, there is a chance he will play in Week 3, but he’ll split carries with DeMarco Murray. Dallas’ running game has been underwhelming to say the least — the team has rushed for 109 combined yards in two games — so any backfield platoons will be of little interest to fantasy owners.
