The Houston Texans suffured another injury to their safety position after losing Lonnie Ballentine to a lower leg injury on Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Ballentine was having a solid game to that point with three tackles with a pass deflection and a key coverage play on Julius Thomas to cut him off from his route to free up Andre Hal late intercpetion to end the first half.

Ballentine was injured late in the game trying to help close in coverage on Jaguars' wide receiver Allen Robinson when he hit leg to leg with Robinson sending both players down in pain.
