Texans injury update after 33-13 loss to the Seahawks
The Houston Texans took some injuries in the 33-13 loss to the Seattle Seahawks Sunday afternoon at NRG Stadium.
The NFL season is known for its attrition, and the Texans certainly are taking it on as they concluded Week 14. Their Friday injury report going into the Seahawks matchup was the longest it has been since Week 1.
Coach David Culley met with the media after the loss and provided an update on some of the injuries that hit Houston, who now falls to 2-11 on the year. Here is a look at the players who were injured or were otherwise unavailable on game day for Houston.

“Not an update yet,” said Culley. “He does have a knee. We’ll find a little bit more out about it tomorrow.”

King left the game with what the medical staff thought may be a concussion. However, it didn’t turn out to be the case.
“Desmond was okay,” said Culley. “They thought Desmond had a concussion, but he did not have a concussion. He came back in and played.”
