The Houston Texans have placed linebacker Jake Hummel on injured reserve after he suffered a groin injury during the team's Week 1 loss to the Bills. This decision means Hummel will be sidelined for a minimum of four games before he can be evaluated for a return to the active roster.
Since the injury, Hummel has not participated in practice. In his absence, Jake Hansen is anticipated to maintain his starting position at linebacker, supported by teammates Azeez Al-Shaair and Aiden Fisher. CBS Sports reported on the roster change, referencing Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston.
