Texans' Brian Peters: Ruled out again
Peters (ankle) is ruled out for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.

Texans' Brian Peters: Will not play Sunday
Peters (ankle) did not practice Friday and has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Cowboys.
Peters failed to practice all week, so it appears as though the ankle injury he's nursing is somewhat serious. Peters' absence is a serious hit to the Texans' depth at inside linebacker, and Benardrick McKinney may take on even more snaps that normal Sunday as a result.
