Texans' Tytus Howard: Goes to IR
Houston placed Howard (hand) on injured reserve Wednesday.
The standout right tackle will now have to sit out at least the first four weeks of the regular season as a result of his placement on IR. Until Howard is fully recovered from hand surgery and able to ditch his cast, veteran George Fant will be the presumed starter opposite left tackle Laremy Tunsil.

Texans' Tytus Howard: Back at practice with cast
Howard (hand) is participating in Monday's practice with a cast, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Howard is recovering from hand surgery and working to be ready for Sunday's game against the Ravens. His status for Week 1 still ultimately looks uncertain, but it's certainly encouraging to see Howard at least back on the practice field. Josh Jones and George Fant will be options to start at right tackle if Howard is unavailable.

Texans' Tytus Howard: Status for Week 1 TBD
Texans general manager Nick Caserio said Howard's (hand) status for Week 1 against the Ravens remains to be determined, Drew Dougherty of the Texans' official site reports.
Howard returned to the practice field last week with a cast on his left hand, which was surgically repaired in early August, but it's unclear how much he's been participating. The Texans will have to release an official injury report starting Monday, so that should provide further clarity on Howard's availability. If Howard is unable to go, George Fant, who filled in during preseason, and Josh Jones, who was acquired via trade from the Cardinals last week, would be options to start at right tackle versus Baltimore.

This marks Howard's return to practice, though it's unclear how much he participated. Wilson characterized it as a return to practice "in some capacity." Nevertheless, it's an encouraging sign that Howard, the team's starting right tackle, may be ready for Week 1.

Texans' Tytus Howard: Week 1 return possible?
Howard (hand) has the potential to return as soon as the Texans' Week 1 game at Baltimore, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Howard had surgery this past Monday to repair a broken hand and is expected to be out anywhere from 4-to-6 weeks. Houston begins its season with Baltimore on Sunday, Sept. 10, which is a little less than five weeks after his surgery. Depending on how quickly the 27-year-old is able to recover, he could be in the team's lineup for the opener.

Texans' Tytus Howard: Undergoes surgery
Howard is expected to miss 4-to-6 weeks after undergoing surgery Monday to repair a broken hand, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Howard still has a chance to be ready for the Texans' Sept. 10 regular-season opener in Baltimore, but his availability is hardly guaranteed. If Howard is unable to take the field Week 1, swing tackle George Fant would likely step in as the Texans' starter opposite Laremy Tunsil.

Fresh off signing a three-year, $56 million extension, Howard picked up a hand injury Saturday. According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, Howard broke his hand. While an exact return timeline for the right tackle has yet to be established, Howard almost certainly won't see the field prior to Houston's regular-season opener, which is Sept. 10 in Baltimore.

Texans' Tytus Howard: Dealing with injury
Howard suffered a hand injury in practice Saturday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Howard's injury isn't expected to keep him out long term, but there is no suggested timetable for his return. The 27-year-old should be set as the team's starter at right tackle, and he also signed a three-year, $56 million extension in July, so the team will likely exercise caution with him.
