Stefon Diggs was the first to go down, now it’s Tank Dell. Who will C.J. Stroud target for the rest of the season for the Houston Texans? If Stroud and the team can’t find a solution, their postseason hopes might be shorter than expected. Dealing with a lack of wide receivers following Diggs’ ACL injury, the AFC South champions suffered another blow when Dell dislocated his knee and tore his ACL during a recent game against Kansas City. With Dell and Diggs out, the team’s options are limited, with Nico Collins, John Metchie III, and Robert Woods among the remaining choices. To bolster their receiving corps, the Texans have claimed Diontae Johnson off waivers. Injuries have also impacted safety Jimmie Ward and guard Shaq Mason, adding to the team’s challenges.
As Houston tries to regroup, Baltimore is looking to gain an advantage in the AFC North race. Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry have been key players in the Ravens’ recent successes. Baltimore secured a playoff spot and aims to clinch a division title and secure a home game. With Jackson in top form and Henry’s strong contributions, the Ravens are eyeing a deep playoff run. However, injuries to key players like Zay Flowers, Nelson Agholor, and Justice Hill could impact their lineup. The Ravens hold a strong historical record against the Texans, with expectations of a competitive matchup in their upcoming game.
Houston has not defeated them since 2014, according to Field Level Media.
