APTexans defensive coordinator Wade Phillips is taking a medical leave of absence to have surgery, but he says he’s going to be fine.
“I feel good. I don’t have any physical problems right now. If I get this done . . . then I’ll be fine,” Phillips said today, via the Texans’ Twitter. “It’s an operation . . . I feel good. The doctors say they can handle everything . . . They see me getting back within 10 days.”
Phillips wouldn’t go into what health problem he’s having, but he tried to laugh it off.
“It’s not life-threatening. There’s no chemotherapy involved,” Phillips said. “I don’t want to get into it. It’s not a vasectomy, in case you wondered.”
According to Phillips, the Texans won’t miss him much while he’s gone.
“The game plan is set up. . . . I expect everything to run smooth,” Philips said. “I haven’t done a good job if they’re not ready to play.”

He will be looking for his bike in the basement of the alamo.
I bet it’s hemmroids…flare ups can occur for years after working for Jerry Jones
He’d better not be seeking medical treatment for this ailment in Miami, Kansas City, or Jacksonville.
Relax people, he’s just undergoing a sex change operation.
Maybe he’s finally having all those marbles removed from his mouth.
Listen after all this guys done for us. Take a leave of absence w/e you it you need. Just please PLEASE don’t leave us next year
Wow ! Had no idea so many unemployed lame comedian wannabes visit this site.
Gastric bypass?? That worked so well for Charlie Weis and Rex Ryan. Those two are regular fitness models now.
All those years of cheeseburgers and fries have resulted in the need for a stent. Wade is a good guy and I hope all goes well for him.
I was watching the live video after practice thought I herd him say something about a kidney. Not sure though couldn’t skip back and listen to it again.
What ever it is I hope you get better soon Wade.
oh and @ Andre’s Johnson I agree lol.

For a moment there, I thought you were knocking those cities’ health facilities. Then the brilliance behind your comment came through. Well done!
Thank goodness he’s not on the Browns, their medical staff would tell him to avoid surgery, just drink a couple glasses of water and/or put some ice on it.
Prostate.
After being ahead by double digits in three games this year his defense has managed to lose all those games for the Cow…wait…never mind, I’m thinking of the guy in Dallas who will soon be a head coach.
YES! The Curse of Doug Flutie is real! And it’s happened again!

If being cursed means you’re most likely finishing 13-3 and going to the playoffs for the first time, then paint a bright red 666 on my forehead, walk me under a ladder, break every mirror in my house and CURSE ME UP.
Local radio (I know….grain of salt) here in Houston is reporting its gallbladder surgery. Wade should be back in 7-10 days.
What is going on in Houston? Player after player falls to injury every week and now our DC!? I swear, Tim Tebow is hogging all the luck.
That “luck” as you call it is God’s favor. Thou shalt not blaspheme the name of Tebow. Repent thy sinful ways, ye heretic, and accept Tebow into thy heart.
