After a knee injury against the Kansas City Chiefs took out of the starting line up, Houston Texans’ 2019 first-round draft pick, Tytus Howard was having an excellent rookie season anchoring the right side of the offensive line for quarterback Deshaun Watson.
Texans went through trial and error looking for a replacement at right tackle after swing tackle Roderick Johnson suffered a neck injury in the defeat against the Indianapolis Colts the following week. In Howard’s absence, the Texans signed free agent Chris Clark and Dan Skipper from the New England Patriots’ practice squad to cover for the rookie’s temporal departure from the starting unit as he rehabbed his injury.
