Description: Texans\' rookie wideout DeAndre Hopkins should eventually grab the starting job opposite Andre Johnson, but according to receivers coach Larry Kirksey he\'s not there yet.
Insight: He has to beat out second-year guys Keshawn Martin and Lestar Jean. We think it\'s mostly coach speak. Hopkins had a huge season at Clemson, putting up 82 receptions for 1,405 yards and 18 touchdowns. He\'s not super fast, but a good route runner who can separate from the defender. By Opening Day he will be a starter.

Description: It looks like Bruins defenseman Dougie Hamilton is going to be a healthy scratch for Saturday\'s Game 5.
Insight: He\'s been replaced by Dennis Seidenberg, who is back after missing four games with a lower body injury. Hamilton registered an assist in 14 minutes of action Thursday in Game 4.
Description: Bruins defenseman Dennis Seidenberg is on the ice warming up in preparation for Game 5 against the Rangers.
Insight: Seidenberg has missed Boston\'s last four games because of a leg injury. Technically he\'s still a game-time decision but we\'d be shocked if he doesn\'t play.
