The Houston Texans’ offensive line has been plagued with misfortune recently, and it seems that their bad luck is far from over.
Following the loss of left guard Kenyon Green due to a shoulder injury, the Texans acquired Kendrick Green as a replacement.
Unfortunately, after just three games as a starter, Kendrick Green finds himself sidelined indefinitely with a torn meniscus in his right knee.

This latest setback only adds to the mounting list of injuries the Texans have faced within their offensive line this season.
Among the numerous injuries that the Texans’ offensive line has suffered, left tackle/left guard Josh Jones missed a game due to a hand injury.
While his absence was temporary, it added to the mounting concerns surrounding the team’s line performance.
Further complicating matters, left guard Tytus Howard was placed on injured reserve following a hand injury.
Center Juice Scruggs found himself on the injured reserve list due to a hamstring injury.
Left tackle Laremy Tunsil, known for his prowess in providing protection for the quarterback, endured his fair share of injury-related setbacks this season.
Unfortunately, center Scott Quessenberry’s season ended prematurely as he suffered a devastating injury, tearing both his ACL and MCL.
Amidst the gloom of the Texans’ injury-ridden offensive line, there is a glimmer of hope for the team.
Tytus Howard’s potential return from injured reserve and Juice Scruggs’ expected comeback next week offer a ray of light.
These key players’ recoveries represent an opportunity for the Texans to regain stability within their offensive line and improve their ability to protect their quarterback.
