Alexander discuss the biggest topics ahead of Sunday’s game:
How concerned should we be about Derek Stingley Jr.'s hamstring injury and how much does his absence influence the defense?The Texans spent a few days deliberating whether to fully rule out Stingley for the weekend beforeFriday. He suffered the hamstring injury during practice, and that the Texans were considering whether he'd be prepared to play in time against the Commanders is in itself promising. But hamstring injuries can be unpredictable.
The Texans have put a focus on becoming a running team, and though Pierce will continue to be the primary runner, having a runner like Benjamin, someone who can also catch it out of the backfield will help give him more opportunities to be on the field when needed. Benjamin has 299 yards rushing, two touchdowns and 184 yards receiving this season. He can be an immediate contributor.Nico Collins appears to be the featured receiver in Houston's passing game this season.
