The injuries are piling up for the Houston Texans in Sunday afternoon’s divisional playoff matchup against the New England Patriots. According to ESPN sideline reporter Laura Rutledge, Texans tight end Dalton Schultz has been ruled out for the rest of the game with a calf injury.

Schultz is not the only key player working through injury for the Texans, however. Running back Woody Marks also suffered a shoulder injury and is questionable to return.

“Dalton Schultz is officially out of this game,” Rutledge reported. ‘He had a calf injury. Then we’ve seen Woody Marks in the injury tent just now and he’s questionable to return with a right shoulder injury. I’m watching on the sideline right now and he does not have his helmet.”

Prior to being ruled out, Schultz had caught both of his targets for 47 yards on the afternoon. Houston was already missing receiver Nico Collins entering this game, so now their another pass catcher short. They entered halftime trailing 21-10.

After Dalton Schultz was ruled out, the Texans later got some good news on Marks, who returned to the game despite his injury. However, he has not been very effective so far with only 13 yards rushing on 11 carries.
