Houston’s season reached an 0-2 mark during its road matchup with the Indianapolis Colts, where the Texans were behind 10-0 late in the first half. The team also listed middle linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair as questionable to return for the rest of the game after he sustained a groin injury.

Al-Shaair is a Pro Bowl defender, and no additional information about the injury was provided. Houston began the season with losses at home against the Buffalo Bills and Cincinnati Bengals. Although many analysts had considered the Texans’ defense among the NFL’s strongest units before the season, the source said the group struggled in both games.

Houston made the playoffs last season after a difficult opening stretch. Following the Colts matchup, the Texans are scheduled to host the Dallas Cowboys next week, with kickoff set for 1 p.m. ET. The story was reported by ClutchPoints.
