Texans Get Bad News: Collins Hamstring Issue
The Houston Texans are already facing a challenging season, and things just got even tougher. The team received bad news this week with the announcement that star running back Dameon Pierce will miss some time with a hamstring injury.
Pierce was a bright spot for the Texans in 2022, showing promise as a powerful runner and a valuable asset in the passing game. He was expected to be a cornerstone of the Texans' offense in 2023, and his absence will be a significant blow to their offensive potential.
The injury occurred during practice, and it's unclear exactly how severe it is. The Texans haven't given a specific timeline for his return, but the expectation is that he'll be out for a few weeks. This puts a lot of pressure on the Texans' other running backs, like Devin Singletary and rookie Tank Dell, to step up and fill the void.
While the injury is a setback, the Texans remain optimistic about Pierce's recovery. They are confident that he'll be back on the field soon and ready to contribute to their success. However, this injury raises questions about the Texans' depth at the running back position, and it's something they'll need to address if they want to make a run at the playoffs.
