Dunta Returns! Chris Taylor Leaves!

John McClain is reporting that your Houston Texans have activated Dunta Robinson for Sunday's game against Detroit. Honestly, I'm still in shock. Remember how absolutely gruesome Dunta's injury was? The surgery it necessitated? That surgery only happened about eleven (11) months ago! Yet it looks like Kubes has every intention of playing him for about twenty (20) snaps as the third corner on Sunday:

"Dunta's had great practices, and unless he wakes up with a sore knee, he'll play against the Lions," coach Gary Kubiak said. "He's brought a lot of energy to practice this week."

Simply amazing. I'm still tempering my expectations, but I hope that the roof blows off Reliant fans show Dunta the love he deserves the first time he takes the field. He's unbelievable.

Sadly, to make room for Dunta, the Texans had to clear a roster spot; that was done by sending Chris Taylor to the IR. Extraordinarily tough break for Taylor, who is only a little more than a year removed from reconstructive knee surgery himself. Given the revelation that Steve Slaton's been, however, and coupled with Ahman Green's ability to stay off crutches the past two weeks, it was a move that had to be made. Best of luck to Chris Taylor, who we may not see in a Texans uniform again.

awesome news

about Dunta.

I think this is a great move, this team should boost his confidence, esp if he gets 3 or 4 picks…

Healthy and Turnover free 2008-09, and we win 11!

Sweet

even though he is coming in as the nickle back. “I think” They say that he is cover better then he did before. That he is hitting harder than he did before. And staying with receivers speed

Dunta

Will bring an energy to the game even if he has limited plays. He will be tested when he’s on the field, he might get a pick… wouldn’t that be awesome!

GO TEXANS!!!!!!!!!

Win Streak

If Dunta gets a pick, the team would be so fired up, there would be no way they don’t go on a mini run. If Dunta can play at a level near or at (dare I say better than) the team would receive such a boost. Let’s see them go .500 by the tenth game!
