Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reported that the Houston Texans starting inside linebacker, Zach Cunningham, and outside linebacker, Duke Ejiofor, will not make the trip to Washington, DC to face the Washington Redskins in Week 11. The Texans will miss Cunningham for the third consecutive game after he sprained his knee against the Miami Dolphins in Week 8. Ejiofor will miss his second game of the season after hurting his shoulder against the Denver Broncos in Week 9.
Both players had the bye week to rehabilitate their injuries, they began to practice on a limited basis this week, but the Texans decided to err on the side of caution so they can be healthy down the road.
