Houston Texans offensive lineman Tytus Howard is expected to miss the remainder of the season because of a knee injury, a source confirmed to ESPN.
Howard, who suffered the injury during Sunday's loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars, will undergo surgery.
It marks the second long-term injury this season for Howard, who missed Houston's first four games with a broken hand. A first-round draft selection in 2019, Howard signed a three-year, $56 million extension before training camp last summer.
Howard had to be helped off the field late in the first quarter Sunday and was replaced at left guard by rookie Juice Scruggs, who had just been activated from injured reserve the previous day.
