Texans rookie inside linebacker Dylan Cole suffered a Grade hamstring strain against the Cleveland Browns while returning an interception, according to league sources not authorized to speak publicly.
Cole underwent a magnetic resonance imaging exam Monday, revealing the extent of the damage. The typical recovery time for that severity of hamstring injury is at least four weeks and can take longer. Cole is expected to play again this season.
Cole made an acrobatic leaping interception of a Kevin Hogan pass and got injured during the return. He was on crutches after the game.
The former Missouri State All-American has had an excellent start to his NFL career, recording two interceptions, returning one for a touchdown, and a sack.
