The Texans have lost Steve Slaton for the season due to a neck injury.  Slaton carried the ball 131 times for 437 yards (3.3 ypc) with 3 TD runs this year.  He also caught 44 passes for 417 yards (9.5 avg) with 4 TD grabs this year.  Slaton just wasn’t the same this year for the Texans and they hope an off-season of rest will get him back to the player he was as a rookie last season.
