Texans running back and wide receiver Tyler Ervin has been declared out for the remainder of the game with a knee injury.
Ervin got shaken up during a punt return in the first quarter. As he headed toward the sideline, Ervin was limping and in obvious discomfort.
After being examined by the Texans' medical staff, it was determined that Ervin shouldn't go back into the game. The severity and nature of the injury remains undetermined.
Ervin has improved in his second NFL season in terms of ball security on special teams after a rocky rookie season and was being used mostly as a receiver on offense.
