Will Dalton Schultz play vs. Chiefs? Injury updates for Texans TE

Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz has been one of C.J. Stroud’s favorite targets this season, and for good reason. He saw action in every game during the Texans’ 2024 campaign and was a reliable pass-catcher for Stroud in Houston’s wild-card playoff win over the Los Angeles Chargers.

However, Schultz was listed on the Texans’ injury report this week, and he was not able to fully participate in all of Houston’s practices.

Wil he be available for the Texans’ divisional-round matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs on Saturday?
