[SteveRobWhatever]

Texans head coach Gary Kubiak is no longer holding his breath after left tackle Duane Brown suffered a lower left leg injury during Wednesday's practice. Brown took a few more reps before bowing out and having his left ankle iced. Lucky for the Texans, Brown's injury turned out to be only a bone bruise. "I don't expect to be out too long," Brown told reporters, adding that he is day to day. "It's extremely scary. Once I got the X-rays and everything came out negative, I was extremely relieved." Kubiak said Brown's leg was rolled up on during practice. "We are lucky. ... He'll probably miss a couple days. ... He's an important piece to the puzzle," Kubiak said. Earlier in the day, before the X-rays, Kubiak said the team was holding their breath on Brown's injury.
