Houston Texans middle linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair suffered a groin injury during the team’s road game against the Indianapolis Colts and was listed as questionable to return. The update came with Indianapolis leading 10-0 late in the first half on Sunday.
Aaron Wilson of KPRC2 reported that Al-Shaair, a Pro Bowl player, was dealing with the injury. The source did not provide additional details about the injury or whether he would return to the game.
The Texans entered the matchup with an 0-2 record after home losses to the Buffalo Bills and Cincinnati Bengals. The team had been viewed by many analysts as having one of the NFL’s strongest defenses entering the season, but the unit had struggled in the first two games, according to the report.
Houston’s next scheduled game after facing Indianapolis is a home matchup with the Dallas Cowboys next week. Kickoff is set for 1 p.m. ET.
