Jacob Martin won’t be the only member of your Houston Texans sidelined for Sunday’s tilt in Jacksonville because of COVID-19. I type “because of” not to imply that anyone else has tested positive. Due to close contact with Martin, however, fellow linebackers Whitney Mercilus and Dylan Cole will also be held out of Texans-Jaguars on Sunday afternoon.
Because of contact tracing, LBs Whitney Mercilus and Dylan Cole will join OLB Jacob Martin on COVID-19 reserve list and none will play against Jaguars.
