The Houston Texans were dealing with a potential injury to Pro Bowl middle linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair during their road game against the Indianapolis Colts. Al-Shaair sustained a groin injury, and his return was listed as questionable in a report from Aaron Wilson of KPRC2 on X.
The injury came as Houston trailed Indianapolis 10-0 near the end of the first half. The Texans entered the game with an 0-2 record after home losses to the Buffalo Bills and Cincinnati Bengals.
Houston's defense had been viewed by many as one of the NFL's top units before the season, but the team had defensive struggles in its first two games. The source did not provide further details about Al-Shaair's injury or whether he would miss additional time.
The Texans are scheduled to face the Dallas Cowboys at home next week, with kickoff set for 1 p.m. Eastern time. ClutchPoints.com reported the injury update and Houston's upcoming schedule.
