Wade Woodaz, a linebacker for the Texans, sustained a thumb injury during a preseason game against the Raiders on Thursday night, according to Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston.
Following the injury, Woodaz is listed as day-to-day and is expected to return to the field with a cast as soon as possible. In the same game, he made a significant impact by intercepting a pass from Fernando Mendoza and returning it for an 80-yard touchdown.
The fourth-round rookie is anticipated to serve as the primary depth option at middle linebacker behind Azeez Al-Shaair as the regular season approaches. Further details regarding the extent of Woodaz's injury have not yet been provided.
