Houston Texans linebacker Henry To’oTo’o is expected to miss time with a shoulder injury sustained in the team’s 36-31 defeat against the Buffalo Bills in Week 1. Coach DeMeco Ryans disclosed the injury update Sept. 14.
To’oTo’o made two tackles before leaving in the fourth quarter, and he did not come back into the game as the final result remained undecided. He finished the 2025 season with 95 tackles after surpassing 100 tackles in 2024.
The injury creates another issue for Houston’s linebacker unit. Troy Chapman of Over The Cap wrote on X that the development was not surprising because To’oTo’o had been seen in a sling. Garret Williams, who posts under the name Houston Stressans, identified Wade Woodaz and Jake Hansen as possible replacements, though Hansen was also hurt during the game.
No further information on To’oTo’o’s injury was released. The report is based on information from heavy.com.
