Jake Hummel has not practiced since hurting his groin in the Texans' Week 1 loss to the Bills. Houston placed the linebacker on injured reserve Saturday, making him unavailable for a minimum of four games. He cannot be considered for a return to the active roster until that absence is complete.
Jake Hansen is expected to remain the starting linebacker alongside Azeez Al-Shaair and Aiden Fisher while Hummel is out. CBS Sports reported the roster transaction, citing information from Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston.
