The Texans placed linebacker Jake Hummel on injured reserve after a groin injury, meaning he will miss at least four games before he can be considered for a return to the active roster.
Hummel has not practiced since being hurt during the Texans' Week 1 loss to the Bills. The roster move was reported by CBSSports.com, citing Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston.
Jake Hansen should continue starting at linebacker alongside Azeez Al-Shaair and Aiden Fisher while Hummel is unavailable.
