Texans Defensive Setback: Mario Edwards Jr. Injured in Win

In a significant development for the Houston Texans, head coach Demeco Ryans announced that defensive tackle Mario Edwards Jr. suffered a pectoral injury during the team's recent victory against the Arizona Cardinals.

This injury raises concerns about the team's defensive depth moving forward, as Edwards has been a vital contributor to the Texans' top-ranked defense this season. Edwards has participated in 14 games so far, recording 13 tackles, 6 solo stops, and 1.5 sacks, while also applying pressure with 4 hits on opposing quarterbacks.

With Edwards sidelined, players such as Naquan Jones, Junior Tafuna, and Marlon Davidson will be called upon to maintain the intensity that has characterized the Texans' defensive performance this year.

The Texans will be looking to uphold their strong defensive culture and adapt to this setback as they continue their season. Rest up, Mario; the team is committed to keeping the momentum going.
