Key Injuries Could Limit Houston’s Normally Dominant Defense

Houston enters the NFL Sunday slate with injuries affecting three of its best defensive players. Azeez Al-Shaair and Danielle Hunter are out, while Will Anderson is expected to play after suffering a left ankle inversion sprain in practice.

Anderson’s ability to get around the edge could be limited, potentially allowing the Browns to chip and shift their protection. With Hunter absent from the other side, Houston’s normally dominant defense may not be as effective today.
