The Texans are suffering another blow to their depleted offensive line. Starting right tackle Tytus Howard was placed on injured reserve on Wednesday due to a broken right hand. The 27-year-old will miss the first four games of the season before he is eligible to return. George Fant is expected to fill-in at right tackle in Howard's absence. In other news, linebacker Blake Cashman, wideout John Metchie the Third and safety Jimmie Ward did not participate in Wednesday's practice. Houston will visit the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday afternoon at M&T Bank Stadium. The Texans will be looking to snap a three-game losing skid to Baltimore that dates back to 2017.
