Wade Woodaz, a linebacker for the Texans, sustained a broken thumb during Thursday night's preseason game against the Raiders, according to Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston.
Currently, Woodaz is considered day-to-day as he recovers from the injury. He is expected to return to practice wearing a cast as soon as possible.
In the same game, Woodaz made a significant impact by intercepting a pass from Fernando Mendoza and returning it for an 80-yard touchdown. This play highlighted his performance in the game and showcased his potential as a player.
As a fourth-round rookie, Woodaz is anticipated to serve as the primary depth option at middle linebacker behind Azeez Al-Shaair as the regular season approaches. Further details regarding his recovery timeline have not yet been provided.
