The Houston Texans entered their road matchup with the Indianapolis Colts at 0-2 and fell behind 10-0 late in the first half. The team also dealt with an injury to middle linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair during the game.
Al-Shaair, a Pro Bowl defender, sustained a groin injury, and his status for the remainder of the contest was listed as questionable. Further details about the injury were not provided.
Houston opened the season with home losses to the Buffalo Bills and Cincinnati Bengals. The Texans’ defense had been viewed by many analysts as one of the NFL’s strongest units entering the season, but the source said the group struggled in both games.
The Texans recovered from a slow start last season and reached the playoffs. After the Colts game, Houston is scheduled to return home next week to play the Dallas Cowboys, with kickoff set for 1 p.m. ET.
