So we’re trying something a little different on PFT Sunday. The four of us writing each took two games that we’d focus on exclusively.

I’m taking the Texans-Colts and Rams-Eagles. And since three injury updates came out in both games at the same time, I’m just going to put it all together.

1. Steven Jackson won’t return to Sunday’s Eagles-Rams game. He hurt his quad after only two carries, one of which was a 47-yard touchdown score. The Rams will roll with Cadillac Williams and Jerious Norwood the rest of the day.

2. Texans wide receiver Kevin Walter has a shoulder injury and won’t return. Jacoby Jones is getting more snaps.

3. Texans running back Derrick Ward (ankle) left and is questionable. We have a Steve Slaton sighting. Houston will be careful with all their injuries since they have already mathematically eliminated the Colts.
