In a recent game against the New England Patriots, Texans linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair exited due to a knee injury. Head Coach Demeco Ryans indicated that Al-Shaair attempted to return but was unable to do so, and he is currently undergoing evaluation. This injury adds to the Texans' linebacker woes, as both starting linebackers are dealing with injuries, including Henry To'oTo'o with a concussion and Christian Harris on IR with a calf injury.

• Texans are facing significant linebacker injuries.
• Al-Shaair's status is uncertain as he undergoes evaluation.
• Neville Hewitt is expected to step up if Al-Shaair cannot play.
