Texans Hit With Major Injury Blow as 4 Key Starters Ruled Out Against Browns
The Texans will be without four key starters against the Browns, while Will Anderson Jr.'s status remains up in the air.
The Houston Texans are facing a major injury crisis as four key starters are ruled out for their upcoming game against the Cleveland Browns. This blow comes at a crucial juncture for the Texans, who are currently two games below .500 with a challenging schedule ahead. The Texans' star pass rusher Danielle Hunter, Pro Bowl linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair, wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr., and guard Keylan Rutledge are all out due to hamstring, groin/personal, hamstring, and neck/shoulder injuries respectively.
While star edge rusher Will Anderson Jr., veteran running back David Montgomery, and Super Bowl champion offensive tackle Trent Brown are listed as questionable, the absence of Hunter and Al-Shaair will be the most challenging to fill. Hunter has been a dominant force with nine sacks and Al-Shaair has led the team in tackles. However, the Texans still have depth in their offense, including Nico Collins, Tank Dell, Kayshon Boutte, and Xavier Hutchinson.
The Browns, on the other hand, have a struggling passing attack and a questionable Denzel Boston. The Texans will face significant challenges, particularly in defense and against an already strong offensive line.
