Texans injury report: Both starting tackles miss Tuesday's practice

[ASFN Admin]

The Houston Texans could be limited at both sides of the offensive line entering Week 17's battle against the Los Angeles Chargers

Offensive tackles Aireontae Ersery (hand) and Trent Brown (knee) missed Tuesday's practice after leaving in last week's 23-21 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders. Both are expected to be questionable heading into Saturday's contest for what could decide a playoff berth and the AFC South division title.

While the duo tackles are out, their presence could be elongated compared to other names who commonly miss the first practice of the week. Defensive end Denico Autry, defensive tackle Sheldon Rankins and cornerbacks Kamari Lassiter and Derek Stingley all missed practice. All are expected to play and return to drills before the team departs out west.

Here's a look at Tuesday's injury report for both teams.
