UPDATE: Stover has been ruled out for the rest of the game.

With 12:16 left in the fourth quarter of Sunday’s game against the New England Patriots, Cade Stover attempted to catch a pass near the right sideline. Unfortunately, he injured his knee while trying to reach for a pass that was behind him. Stover had to be helped off the field and is now in the medical tent.

Prior to exiting, Stover contributed one catch on three targets for two yards.

Starting tight end Dalton Schultz suffered a calf injury in the second quarter and is done for the night. With both Schultz and Stover out, Harrison Bryant elevates to the top of the tight end depth chart. Bryant garnered six targets on the season.

Nico Collins and Schultz were the only Texans that garnered over 100 targets on the season.

Stan joined DraftKings in December of 2020. It was a glorious time, except for that whole COVID thing, when we got Madden streams and boisterous bat flips from the KBO. I was brought on board to bring some West Coast flavor. I especially love hoops, and most of my content is in that arena. When I walk along the beach, strumming my guitar, the beat that I hear is not one of crashing waves. No, it is the beat of the ball bouncing off the hardwood with highs provided by the squeaks of the sneakers. Ball is life.
