AFC Notes: Colts, Texans, Titans

Colts

  • Colts WR T.Y. Hilton indicated his injured groin is feeling better but he wasnโ€™t sure if heโ€™ll play this week: โ€œIโ€™m feeling good. Doing a lot better actually. Weโ€™ll see.โ€ (Kevin Bowen)
  • The Colts entered the intensive protocol and conducted meetings virtually Thursday after a staff member tested positive for the virus. The team was still able to hold its practice. (Twitter)

Texans

The Texans are staring down a massive rebuilding project starting next year as they try and fix the problems that ail a 1-6 team with few high draft picks and limited salary cap flexibility. Teams can turn around quickly in the NFL but it might not be quick enough for 31-year-old DL J.J. Watt, whoโ€™s eager to win a championship before his career ends. Ideally, it would be in Houston but Watt seemed to acknowledge that might not be possible. 

โ€œI donโ€™t think itโ€™s any secret that I donโ€™t have 10 years left in this league,โ€ Watt said via ESPNโ€™s Sarah Barshop. โ€œI personally believe that I do have a few more great ones left in me. But you also canโ€™t โ€ฆ Iโ€™m not looking to rebuild. Iโ€™m looking to go after a championship, and thatโ€™s what I want to do. So, whatever is in the best interest of the Houston Texans, thatโ€™s in the best interest of myself.โ€

  • Mike McCartney, the agent for new Texans QB Josh McCown, explained his client saw a chance to return to his home state where heโ€™d been living while working remotely for the Eagles: โ€œJosh loves football. This is too good of an opportunity to turn down. Josh is excited to play football and be near his family and join a great organization. The Eagles, the communication with them, was unbelievable.โ€ (Aaron Wilson)
  • Texans practice squad OLB Davin Bellamy had a benign cyst drained and will be out this week. (Aaron Wilson)

Titans

  • NFL Mediaโ€™s Mike Garafolo says Titans OLB Jadeveon Clowney could miss this week against the Bears and next Thursday against the Colts with a knee injury thatโ€™s kept him out of practice. 
  • Titans signed LS Matt Orzech off of the Dolphinsโ€™ practice squad.
