Tim Jamison out for year

Texans DE Tim Jamison has been diagnosed with a torn Achilles' tendon, and is done for the season.

Jamison went down in a heap in Sunday night's loss, so the news isn't a surprise. Jamison is a reserve, but was signed to a two-year extension in September, and perhaps being groomed as a future starter. He'll finish 2012 with one tackle and three sacks. It's not a guarantee he'll be ready for next summer's camp, but that should be the case.

I would bring up Fangupo. Mitchell was already rotating at DE and he fits better physically than at NT.

From what I've heard and read about Achilles injuries, when Demeco had his, this can not only be season ending but also career threatening. I've read that it takes a very long time to come back from and that even if a player makes it back they're usually slower or less explosive than they were before. I'm guessing that for a big guy who relies on his explosiveness this could be the end for him. I sure hope not. Anyone here know more about this type of injury?

Hate to see this one.. dude's constantly improving his game. I really hope he can come back from this one and continue his progression.

More and more teams are going to double Watt and Smith(the Packers doubled both constantly in the 2nd half and Watt saw extra attention all game long) which I think only increases the need for having good backups. This is a loss(nevermind Jamison's awesome blocking on kick returns). So far I haven't been too impressed with Crick so I would rather have Earl Mitchell spend more time at Defensive End.
