Dismantled on defense for the first time all year in a 42-24 loss to Green Bay, the Houston Texans expressed plenty of frustration after Sunday's loss in their postgame press conference.
Jamison left early in the game with an injury to his right Achilles. Though the severity of the injury is unknown, Achilles' injuries are typically serious. Jamison hasn't been a key cog in Houston's defense, recording just three tackles and one sack through Houston's first six games, but his presence will be missed if the injury is severe.
Caldwell was forced from Sunday's loss with a concussion. Caldwell, who sprained his ankle during Houston's Week 4 win over the Tennessee Titans, will likely be considered week-to-week with the head injury. Houston will host the Baltimore Ravens in Week 7, in a game that could potentially determine homefield advantage in the AFC.
With a bye week in Week 8, it won't be surprising to see the Texans err on the side of caution with Caldwell.
Houston's 42-24 loss to the Green Bay Packers wasn't the worst loss in Texans history, but it was one of the worst in terms of poise and passion in quite a while.
The Atlanta Falcons are now the only team left that can challenge the 1972 Miami Dolphins' undefeated record after the Green Bay Packers beat the Houston texans 42-24 Sunday night.

Arian Foster rushed for two touchdowns, but only had 29 yards on 17 carries.
Jordy Nelson and Aaron Rodgers have had a stellar night against the Texans so far. Nelson caught his third touchdown pass of the night, a one yard toss from Rodgers, with 8:22 left in the third quarter to put the Packers ahead, 28-10. Houston would later score a touchdown of its own to make it 28-17, but the Texans' undefeated start to the 2012 season is in danger entering the fourth quarter.
Arian Foster scored his second touchdown of the night with 21 seconds left in the quarter to close the gap. His second one-yard dive of the night capped a nine-play, 65-yard drive and made it a two possession game for Houston.
The momentum was short-lived, as Rodgers needed only three plays to get the score back. Rodgers' fifth touchdown pass of the night was a 48-yard bomb to Tom Crabtree to make it 35-17 in favor of Green Bay on the first play of the fourth quarter.
