Foley Fatukasi injury update: Texans DL leaves early vs. Dolphins

The Houston Texans could be down a key player to the defensive line for the remainder of Sunday’s game against the Miami Dolphins.

Defensive lineman Foley Fatukasi left during the open play of the second quarter with an ankle injury and is questionable to return for the second half.

Here’s everything to know entering halftime.

Foley Fatukasi injury update

Fatukasi started the game and made two tackles before leaving after the first play of the second quarter. He was taken to the blue medical tent for further evaluation.

The former Jacksonville Jaguars starter was looking for a breakout game after missing the past three games with a foot injury, including Week 13’s 23-20 win over his former team.

Will Foley Fatukasi return?

Right now, the veteran defensive tackle is listed as questionable. He hasn’t returned to the field entering the final minutes of the first half. The Texans will turn to their defensive tackles to take over if ruled out for the second half.

Texans DL Depth Chart

Should the Texans be without Fatukasi for the remainder of Sunday’s game, here’s a look at the remaining defensive line depth.

  • Tim Settle
  • Mario Edwards Jr.
  • Tommy Togiai

With a victory, the Texans would need an Indianapolis Colts loss to clinch the AFC South division title Sunday.
