The Texans have made the road trip to Jacksonville for a crucial divisional matchup against the Jaguars. Unfortunately for the, they won’t be able to rely on the services of starting right guard Zach Fulton.

According to ProFootballTalk, Fulton is out as he continues to recover from an ankle injury. Fulton has started every game for the Texans this year and his absence will make the their offensive line more vulnerable to the Jaguars' pass rush.

This should be a concern for the Texans as their quarterback DeShaun Watson has been one of the most sacked quarterbacks this season and he's currently dealing with a chest injury he suffered in their matchup against the Dallas Cowboys.

Aside from Zach Fulton, other players who have been listed out are cornerback Aaron Colvin (ankle), tight end Ryan Griffin (illness), linebacker Brian Peters (ankle), and cornerback Shareece Wright (shoulder, hand, groin).

After starting the season with three straight losses, the Texans have been on a roll with three straight wins against the Indianapolis Colts, Dallas Cowboys and Buffalo Bills. Interestingly enough, all of this wins have come down to overtime.

In order to win this game, the Texans will have to also rely on their defense on what is expected to be a low-scoring affair. Their defense will be led by JJ Watt who seems to be in top shape after two consecutive injury-riddled seasons. He is currently one of the league leaders in sacks with 7 through six games. On offense, the Texans' red zone efficiency will be one to watch as they are currently one of the bottom teams when it comes to that category.
