Defensive Standouts Sidelined
The Texans will miss All-Pro defensive end Danielle Hunter because of a hamstring issue when they visit the Browns. Hunter has four sacks this season, tied for second on the club. Linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair will also sit out with a groin injury. Al-Shaair leads the team with 68 tackles and has worn the green dot on defense. His groin problem began in Week 3 against the Colts, and he already missed Week 4 against the Cowboys.
Montgomery Added to Injury List
Running back David Montgomery joined the ruled-out group on Saturday. He injured his groin against the Titans and has not played since Week 5. Montgomery practiced this week, marking some improvement, but he will not suit up for the road contest.
Other Players Ruled Out
Rookie guard Keylan Rutledge will miss the game with a shoulder injury. Wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. is also out because of a hamstring problem.
