The Houston Texans (0-0) are putting an end to their long offseason with a preseason game on the road against the New England Patriots (0-0), but some players will have to wait a little bit longer before they can take the field.
Not every starter is slated to play in tonight’s game against the Patriots. According to NFL insider Aaron Wilson, a few of them are sitting tonight’s game either to rest or nurse an injury.
#Texans injured players not slated to play at #Patriots: Christian Kirksey (hamstring), Brevin Jordan (hamstring), Brandon Hill (hamstring), Jarrett Patterson (leg), Kurt Hinish (leg), Thomas Booker (wrist), Dylan Horton (groin), Tytus Howard (broken hand, had surgery) @KPRC2
Also among those not playing are offensive tackle Laremy Tunsil and running back Dameon Pierce.
