Kubiak did not offer a specific diagnosis of Williams' injury. The 2006 No. 1 overall pick has dealt with the same injury before, the team's website reports, but he has not missed a game in his four-year career. He is expected to continue the treatment prescribed by the Texans' doctors and trainers.
The Houston Texans revealed on Monday that tests done on Mario Williams showed that the defensive end has no additional injuries beyond the sore hip that has kept him out of action since the first day of training camp.
Williams traveled to Philadelphia to seek a second opinion from sports hernia specialist Dr. Mario Williams Meyers when his hip didn't respond to an injection of pain medication, according to the team's official website. Williams' pain moved into his pelvic region and groin area and did not respond to treatment The Houston Chronicle reports.
"Great news on Mario," Texans coach Gary Kubiak said after practice on Monday morning. "He went up there for a second opinion, and basically, all the reports were good."
Kuharsky also notes that the Seahawks had expressed interest as well as the Patriots, but Houston in light of Schobel's family situation appears to be the only serious consideration.
Aaron Schobel said he'd take a couple of more weeks to decide if he's playing in 2010 or not for another NFL club. For now that timetable seems to be accurate.
Though Houston DE Mario Williams is still dealing with inflammation in his hip, which is keeping him out of action in the camp setting with the Texans, Schobel remains undecided about his playing future. As ESPN blogger Paul Kuharsky astutely points out, the longer he waits and the more time Williams misses, the higher Schobel's price tag could climb.
