HOUSTON -- The Houston Texans suffered a blow to the offensive line as left guard Tytus Howard sustained a knee injury during the first quarter of Sunday's 24-21 loss to theJacksonville Jaguars. He waswas later ruled out.

Howard had to be helped off the field after C.J. Stroud completed a deep pass over the middle to Tank Dell with 20 seconds left in the quarter.

Howard was replaced by Texans second-round pick Juice Scruggs, who on Saturday was activated off injury reserve from a hamstring injury suffered against the New Orleans Saintsin the last preseason game.

This is the second injury Howard has dealt with after signing a three-year, $56 million deal before training camp. The first was a broken hand that caused him to miss the season's first four games.
