The Houston Texans entered their road game against the Indianapolis Colts without a win and trailed 10-0 late in the first half. Middle linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair then suffered a groin injury during the contest, leaving his availability for the rest of the game listed as questionable. No additional injury information was provided.
Al-Shaair is a Pro Bowl defender. Houston’s first two games were home losses against the Buffalo Bills and Cincinnati Bengals. Many analysts had considered the Texans’ defense one of the NFL’s top units before the season began, but the source reported that it performed poorly in both matchups.
Houston made the playoffs last season after recovering from an early-season stumble. The Texans are scheduled to return home next week against the Dallas Cowboys, with kickoff set for 1 p.m. ET. The source was clutchpoints.com.
