The Houston Texans are down another offensive linemen entering the second quarter of Thursday’s showdown against the New York Jets.
If another injury occurs, Houston could be in serious trouble moving entering the second half. Kenyon Green’s night could be over after a rough third-down play that eventually led to a sack on C.J. Stroud.
Here’s what happened and his status.
Kenyon Green injury update
Green, a former first-round pick out of Texas A&M in 2022, suffered what appeared to be an arm injury on a third-down sack allowed while going up against defensive tackle Quinnen Williams.
The medical staff needed to come out and help Green off the turf. He headed to the locker room for further evaluation and testing on his upper body. Veteran Kendrick Green filled in at left guard next to Laremy Tunsil on the ensuing drive.

Will Kenyon Green return for Thursday Night Football?
The Texans have ruled out Kenyon Green for the remainder Thursday’s game with a shoulder injury.. The former All-American was filling in the starting spot after Jarrett Patterson left last week’s game against the Indianapolis Colts during the second quarter with a concussion.
If Kendrick Green struggles or gets hurt, Houston could move right tackle Tytus Howard inside to guard, thus leading to rookie Blake Fisher take over at right tackle.
