  • Texans' Christian Covington: Done for season with biceps tear

    Texans head coach Bill O'Brien said Covington suffered a torn biceps during Sunday's loss to the Seahawks and would miss the remainder of the season, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports. Covington becomes the third Texans defensive end to suffer a season-ending injury, with the team having also lost another edge rusher to injured reserve in linebacker Whitney Mercilus (pectoral). Though Covington wasn't as adept at pressuring the quarterback as Mercilus or J.J. Watt (lower leg), his absence nonetheless represents a critical blow to the team's depth on the edge. He'll wrap up the 2017 campaign with 10 tackles, one sack and a forced fumble in seven contests.

  • Texans' Christian Covington: Three tackles, sack in preseason Week 2

    Covington (shoulder) had three tackles, a sack and two quarterback hits in Houston's win over New Orleans in preseason Week 2 on Saturday. Covington, who had left a practice with a shoulder injury during the week leading up to the game, was healthy enough to make his second straight start at defensive end. With the news that J.J. Watt might miss the first two regular season games, it appears that Covington is a lock to be a starter when the Texans kick off the regular season against the Bears. Even before the Watt news, Covington appeared to be leading candidate to start at end opposite Watt.
