Indianapolis Colts WR LaVon Brazill is eligible to return to the active roster this week after serving his four-game suspension for substance abuse. However, the team has a one-week roster exemption for him, so it’s unclear if he’ll be activated for Week 5.

Houston Texans head coach Gary Kubiak is being supportive of QB Matt Schaub after the team’s disappointing loss in Week 4 to the Seattle Seahawks in which he threw an interception that was returned for a touchdown for the third straight week. ‘I don’t see a lack of confidence,’ Kubiak said a day later. ‘I see some poor decision-making situations. Something that he has to handle and something that we can help him handle.’ Schaub had 355 yards and two touchdowns but also threw two interceptions.

Philadelphia Eagles head coach Chip Kelly said the team will be sticking with PK Alex Henery even though he has made only two of his five field goal attempts this season. ‘I do have confidence in him,’ Kelly said. ‘I know [special teams coordinator Dave Fipp] has confidence in him, I think he’s a real accurate kicker. But from a kicking standpoint, I’m pretty confident in him.’

Updating previous reports, Oakland Raiders head coach Dennis Allen refuses to say when the team might have RB Darren McFadden (hamstring) back, but he doesn’t think the injury is very serious. ‘I wouldn’t get into characterizing whether it’s minor, major,’ Allen said. ‘He’s got a hamstring (strain). I don’t expect him to be out a long time but we’ll see how he responds. I mean, it’s one day after a game.’
Footballguys View: Hamstring injuries are known to linger if not treated properly. McFadden is talented but injuries have set him back during his pro career. Rashad Jennings will get more time while McFadden deals with this injury.
