The Houston Texans find themselves grappling with a mounting injury crisis, with two pivotal players set to sit out the next one to two weeks, according to reports from KPRC2 in Houston.
Linebacker Blake Cashman and defensive back Tavierre Thomas, both essential components of the Texans’ lineup, are expected to be sidelined due to hamstring injuries incurred during the Week 14 clash against the New York Jets.
Adding to the defensive woes, there are indications that defender Will Anderson is likely to miss the upcoming game against the Tennessee Titans due to an ankle issue.
The injury report doesn’t end there, as the Texans face setbacks on multiple fronts. Quarterback C.J. Stroud, currently navigating concussion protocol, and wide receiver Nico Collins, nursing a calf strain, are also sideline.
Their absence from practice raises concerns, although head coach DeMeco Ryans provided a glimmer of optimism regarding Stroud’s recovery, stating, “C.J. is getting a little bit better.
We will see how the week goes, but he is still in concussion protocol.”
Despite these setbacks, the Texans are eyeing a playoff berth in the competitive AFC landscape. However, their recent lackluster loss to the Jets has made the path more challenging.
Still, there remains an opportunity for Houston to build on its commendable season and secure a playoff spot, contingent on accumulating victories in the final four weeks of the regular season. The injuries, though significant, may not deter the Texans’ resolve to capitalize on the remaining opportunities and make a push for postseason success.
