Latest Texans News:DeMeco Ryans Confirm Late Setback Ahead Of Colts Game As Two Top Starter Now Ruled Out Due To…

The Houston Texans have finally received some positive injury news as they prepare for their Week 8 matchup against the Indianapolis Colts. Injuries have plagued the Texans over the last two seasons, causing them to frequently adjust their lineup to replace key starters.

This week, they’ll get some relief with the return of rookie cornerback Kamari Lassiter, who had been sidelined with a scapula fracture he suffered in Week 5 against the Buffalo Bills. After missing two games, Lassiter is set to start alongside Derek Stingley, which could provide a significant boost to Houston’s secondary, a unit that performed well between Weeks 2 and 5.

 

However, not all injury updates were as promising. Safety Jimmie Ward remains out with a groin injury, and linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair will also miss his second consecutive game. Linebacker Henry To’oTo’o is listed as questionable due to a concussion, adding to Houston’s defensive uncertainties.

The Colts, meanwhile, will be without defensive end Genard Avery and linebacker Jaylon Carlies. Defensive tackle DeForest Buckner, who has been recovering from an ankle injury, is listed as questionable, though he is likely to play. His presence could pose a challenge for the Texans’ offensive line, which has struggled this season.
