Jake Hummel was placed on injured reserve by the Texans after sustaining a groin injury in the team's Week 1 loss to the Bills.
Hummel has not returned to practice since the injury. His move to injured reserve means he will miss at least four games before he can be considered for reinstatement to Houston's active roster.
Jake Hansen is expected to remain in the starting lineup at linebacker alongside Azeez Al-Shaair and Aiden Fisher while Hummel is unavailable. Further details were not provided.
