Laremy Tunsil’s day might be over.
The Houston Texans are listing Tunsil as questionable for the remainder of Sunday’s matchup against the New England Patriots. Rookie Blake Fisher will take over in his place.
A four-time Pro Bowler, Tunsil has been dealing with an ankle injury since Week 4’s win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. After C.J. Stroud completed a pass to Stefon Diggs, Tunsil remained on the ground and needed to be looked at by trainers.

Tunsil walked off gingerly and headed to the bench. Given the fact that Houston currently is leading by three scores entering the fourth quarter, Tunsil might be shut down with several other starters in preparation for next week’s matchup against the Green Bay Packers.

It’s not over yet, but Houston is on the verge of its best start in over a decade. At 5-1, Sunday’s win would be just the second time in franchise history that the Texans started with five wins.
The only other team to start out as well was the AFC South champions of 2012, who started 11-1 before finishing 12-4.
