Adam Schefter of ESPN broke some terrible Texans news early on Saturday. After sustaining a calf injury during practice this week, Greenard is being placed on injured reserve.

The 25-year-old previously performed significantly better, coming in at number eleven in 2021. The incident occurred on Thursday during practice for Greenard. He was ruled out of the Friday practice and will not play against the Raiders on Sunday. The earliest Greenard may possibly return, based on Schefter’s timeframe, is late November. Tomorrow afternoon, the 1-3-1 Houston Texans play the 1-4 Las Vegas Raiders and Greenard will be dearly missed.
