Texans place Henry To’oTo’o on IR ahead of Week 2 matchup

The Houston Texans have placed linebacker Henry To’oTo’o on injured reserve ahead of their Week 2 game. To’oTo’o is expected to miss several months due to a shoulder injury sustained in the fourth quarter of the team's Week 1 loss to the Buffalo Bills. This comes as the Texans face significant injury issues in their linebacker corps, having already lost E.J. Speed for the season with a quadriceps tear. Jake Hummel's status is also uncertain due to a groin injury. Special teams ace Jake Hansen is likely to step into a starting role, while other players may be activated to address the thin roster at linebacker.
