Wade Woodaz, a linebacker for the Texans, sustained a thumb injury during a preseason victory over the Raiders, according to Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston.
The injury occurred on Thursday night, and Woodaz is currently considered day-to-day as he recovers. He is expected to return to the field wearing a cast as soon as possible.
In the same game, Woodaz made a notable impact by intercepting a pass from Fernando Mendoza and returning it for an 80-yard touchdown. As a fourth-round rookie, he has been building momentum ahead of the regular season, where he is anticipated to serve as the primary backup at middle linebacker behind Azeez Al-Shaair.
Further details regarding the severity of the injury have not yet been provided.
