Houston defensive end Derek Parish will miss the remainder of the season after suffering a torn bicep late in the second quarter against Rice, head coach Dana Holgorsen said on Monday morning.
Parish will have surgery to repair his bicep this week, per Holgorsen.
Through four games, Parish led the Cougars with 8.5 tackles for loss, including a team-high five sacks. Most of these numbers came in Week 2 against Texas Tech, when Parish set the AAC single-game record for tackles for loss (6.5) and sacks (4.5) on his way to being named the conference’s Defensive Player of the Week.
