Houston Texans Lose Another Defensive Player to Injury After Beating Detroit Lions

The Houston Texans are now (10-1) after beating the Detroit Lions 34-31 in overtime yesterday. However, it was another costly win for the Texans defense. Linebacker Brooks Reed will now be out for a month with a groin injury.

Other Texans defensive injuries include LB Brian Cushing who is out for the season, LB Bradie James is out indefinitely with a hamstring injury and CB Johnathan Joseph missed the Lions game with a hamstring injury.

Over their last two games, the Texans defense has given up over 900 yards of offense and seen both of their games go late into overtime. In their final five games, the Texans have two match-ups against the Colts and a Monday Night showdown against the Patriots on December 10.
