The Houston Texans have placed offensive lineman Sam Hagen on injured reserve due to an undisclosed injury. Hagen, who is 6-foot-6 and weighs 320 pounds, entered the NFL as an undrafted free agent from South Dakota State.
Despite not being on the active roster, the Texans recognized Hagen's contributions during training camp, which led to the decision to keep him with the team. This move allows for the possibility of Hagen returning to the field later in the 2026 season after he spends a minimum of four games on injured reserve.
Further details regarding the nature of Hagen's injury have not yet been provided.
