Wade Woodaz, a linebacker for the Houston Texans, sustained a thumb injury during the team's preseason game against the Las Vegas Raiders, as reported by Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston.
The injury occurred during the game on Thursday night, and Woodaz is currently listed as day-to-day. He is expected to return to the field with a cast as soon as possible.
In the same game, Woodaz made a significant impact by intercepting a pass from Fernando Mendoza and returning it for an 80-yard touchdown. The fourth-round rookie has been gaining momentum as the regular season approaches and is anticipated to serve as the primary depth option at middle linebacker behind Azeez Al-Shaair.
