While you never like to see anyone get hurt or have to miss games, let's be honest. This is very good news for a reeling Houston Texans team.
Colts QB Matt Hasselbeck is starting tonight, per source. No Andrew Luck again.

Updated: Colts' QB Matt Hassebleck was in emergency room until 2 am TUESDAY, dealing with virus he's still feeling. From hospital to start.

Neither Colts' QB, Andrew Luck and Matthew Hasselbeck, threw passes in practice this week. Not ideal situation for Thursday, or any, night.

To summarize: The Texans will face the Colts without the Colts having their best player in Andrew Luck. The guy who will be stepping in for said best player (Matt Hasselbeck) is fighting a virus and hasn't practiced all week.
If the Texans lose to the Colts on Thursday Night Football this evening, Houston fans will be (rightfully) livid.
