HOUSTON, TEXAS (August 25, 2019) The Houston Texans dropped 34-0 decision to the Dallas Cowboys in NFL preseason action at Cowboy Stadium in Arlington on Saturday evening. The loss was not only a devastating defeat against their instate foe, it was also costly on a personnel level.
The word out of the Texans; camp is that running back Lamar Miller will be out the entire season with a torn ACL. The University of Miami product was playing in his first preseason game, took a handoff from quarterback Deshaun Watson and was struck on his left knee by Dallas lineman Maliek Collins; landing inelegantly on the turf. He was carted off the field after the play that will undoubtedly end his career in Houston. Miller, who was in his final season of his contract, rushed for 2,934 yards and 13 touchdowns over three seasons.
Also sustaining an injury was lineman Zach Fulton. He sustained a toe injury. It was diagnosed as toe turf and with a little rest, should return to the lineup in a few weeks. His injury was the Texans' three offensive lineman injury in the past two weeks. In Houston's second preseason game against the Detroit Lions, rooking guard Tytus Howard broke his finger. He is slated to return to action in Week 1. In addition, prior to the Detroit game, tackle Matt Kalil injured his foot stepped on and has yet to return to practice.
With all these injuries two weeks prior to the regular season start, many questions arise as to the upcoming season. Only time will tell if these questions or answered or more questions come to pass.
