Have you ever wondered how much injuries can impact the outcome of a game? For the Houston Texans, the answer to this question became even clearer this week. In their upcoming game on Saturday in Kansas City, the Texans will take the field without some key starters.
One of the main concerns is the absence of offensive lineman Juice Scruggs and defensive tackle Foley Fatukasi, both listed as inactive for this game. Juice Scruggs, unable to play for the second consecutive week, adds to the team’s challenges, along with Tytus Howard’s position shift. Last week, Howard was moved from right tackle to left guard during the victory against the Dolphins, creating further uncertainty for the team.
Linebacker Christian Harris’ Stellar Performance
Surprisingly, linebacker Christian Harris has managed to stay active despite his injury. In Sunday’s game against the Miami Dolphins, Harris made eight tackles, showcasing his impact. However, Thursday’s practice report raised concerns about his knee injury, leaving his performance for this week critical to the team.
List of Injured Players
This week, the Houston Texans have benched several players due to injuries. The inactive list includes:
- WR John Metchie
- LB Devin White
- Jerry Hughes
- OL Nick Broker
- OL Juice Scruggs
- TE Cade Stover
- DT Foley Fatukasi
While this list may disappoint Texans fans, the performances of substitute players could bring some positivity to the team.
What’s the Strategy Without Key Starters?
With several main players out due to injuries, what strategy will the Texans adopt in this game? This match will be a significant test for the head coach and team management. The challenges on the line might slow the team’s momentum, but what can be expected from the substitute players will only unfold during the game.
