Houston Texans head coach Gary Kubiak has ruled tight end Owen Daniels out for Sunday's game against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

After being slowed by a knee injury earlier this season, Daniels has been dealing hamstring that kept him out of last week's 29-23 loss to the San Diego Chargers.

A Pro Bowler in 2008, Daniels missed the Texans' OTAs, mini-camp, and most of training camp as he recovered from a torn right ACL that ended his 2009 season last November.

Daniels has just 16 receptions for 200 yards in 7 games this season.

With Daniels out, Joel Dreesen and James Casey will share the load at tight end.
