Big news for the Houston Texans' offense!
After being a full participant in practice all week, star offensive lineman Ed Ingram is officially expected to play in Monday's showdown against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers! This is a huge boost and good news for the Texans' offensive line, which is looking to dominate in the trenches.
But it's not all good news for the Texans. They'll have to face the Buccaneers' formidable defense without some key players. Wide receiver Christian Kirk and return specialist Braxton Berrios will both be out for the second game in a row with nagging hamstring injuries. Both were expected to be major factors in the passing game, and their absence will definitely be felt.
To make matters worse, starting center Jake Andrews will also be out with an ankle injury he sustained during the season-opening loss to the Los Angeles Rams.
With Andrews sidelined, the Texans will turn to veteran center Jarrett Patterson, who played well in his limited snaps last week, not allowing a single pressure or sack. And in Kirk's absence, look for rookie Jaylin Noel and veteran Justin Watson to step up and make some plays. Last week, Watson was a key player in the slot, catching two passes for 27 yards.
With Ingram back and Patterson stepping in, the Texans are confident their offensive line can hold its own and create some big holes for their running backs. Can they overcome these key injuries and secure a much-needed win? It's going to be an exciting game to watch!
