    "Coach Gary Kubiak said he had a decision to make as to which defensive end he would activate Sunday against the Giants, Adewale "Wally" Ogunleye or Mark Anderson.

    Anderson was signed this week after being waived by the Bears, although it was just a coincidence the Texans acquired him after Chicago had played the Giants, their next opponent.

    "(Anderson) showed he can rush the passer," Kubiak said. "We saw that yesterday in the one-on-one (drill)."

    The Texans have had to replace reserve defensive ends Connor Barwin and Tim Bulman, both lost to season-ending injuries.

    "We've been trying a few guys," Kubiak said. "The players we've brought in have been older players, eight-, nine-year players. This guy was intriguing because he's a (fifth)-year player. He's still got young legs."

    Kubiak said an endorsement from DeMeco Ryans, Anderson's teammate at Alabama, "had a lot to do with" signing him.

    If it turns out Mario Williams can't play because of a strained groin, which seems unlikely, Ogunleye and Anderson would have to contribute."
