The Texans added another starter to their growing injured reserve list, placing left tackle on IR Wednesday.
"It was a tough decision there," head coach Bill O'Brien said. "We just felt like it was projected to be a four, five-week injury and so we decided to put Chris on injured reserve."
The eight-year veteran offensive lineman left Monday’s game at Baltimore with an ankle injury and did not return. replaced Clark at left tackle for the remainder of the game. Rookie Julien Davenport was inactive in Week 12 with a shoulder injury and is still “touch and go,” according to O’Brien.
