This is not for the Texans' defense entering the closing minutes of the second quarter.
Following the touchdown run from Jacksonville, Pro Bowl linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair was down on the ground and needed to be looked at by trainers. According to the broadcast, Al-Shaair already wasn't feeling well going into the game and needed to eat a banana before the last drive.
Keep in mind this is Al-Shaair's second game back since dealing with the groin injury suffered in Week 3's loss to the Colts. According to the injury report, he's being evaluated for a concussion.
If Al-Shaair is out for the rest of the game, the Texans will likely turn to Jake Hansen as the next linebacker. He's started the past three games in place of the injured Henry To'oTo'o, who returned from the injured reserve ahead of Week 6's matchup.

#0 LB Azeez Al-Shaair is being evaluated for a concussion and his return is questionable.
Al-Shaair, who led the Texans in tackles over the past two years, recorded four tackles before leaving Sunday's matchup in London. The sloppy weather conditions have certainly played a factor toward the injures in Week 6 away from Reliant Stadium.
The Texans will begin the second half on offense.
