Now, at least temporarily, they're without Dalton Schultz against the New England Patriots due to injury.
Schultz had an early 42-yard catch, but before the Texans' next drive, he was shown walking to the locker room.

ESPN's broadcast shared eventually that he was questionable to return with a calf injury. He was hurt running a route in the end zone, then went to the medical tent, then went to the locker room.
