All of a sudden former UConn tight end Ryan Griffin is looking to be the top option at that position for the Houston Texans.

Griffin, a sixth-round pick of the Houston Texans, began the season as a third-string tight end. However, injuries could leave Griffin as the best option at tight end for tomorrow's game against Indianapolis.

Top tight end Owen Daniels is on the injured reserved designated to return list due to a leg injury he suffered in early October but he has not practiced this week and interim coach Wade Phillips said he is not expected to play. Garrett Graham is iffy to play due to a hamstring injury.

Griffin has played in 12 games as a rookie and has five catches for 67 yards including a 2-yard touchdown against Arizona.
