Texans RT Tytus Howard 'out for a while' with hand injury
HOUSTON -- Texans coach DeMeco Ryans said starting right tackle Tytus Howard will be "out for a while" with a hand injury.
Howard recently signed a three-year, $56 million extension that included $36.5 million guaranteed before the start of training camp, but he injured his hand at Saturday practice.
In 2022, Howard started 17 games and was seventh among offensive tackles in ESPN's pass block win rate (93.1%).
Veteran swing tackle George Fant, who was signed by the team less than two weeks ago, now will get the opportunity to start at right tackle while Howard recovers.
