Houston is scheduled to host the Dallas Cowboys next week, with kickoff set for 1 p.m. ET, after the Texans began the season 0-2. The upcoming home matchup is the next game on the team’s schedule after its road contest against the Indianapolis Colts.
Houston trailed Indianapolis 10-0 late in the first half while also dealing with an injury to middle linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair. The Pro Bowl defender suffered a groin injury, and the team listed his return for the rest of the game as questionable. No additional information about the injury was provided.
The Texans’ first two losses came at home against Buffalo and Cincinnati. Many analysts had considered Houston’s defense among the NFL’s top units before the season, but the source said it struggled in both games. Houston made the playoffs last season after a difficult start.
