The Houston Texans haven’t had a great bye week as far as COVID-19 is concerned.
The Texans had guard Max Scharping test positive for the novel coronavirus on Oct. 28. On Nov. 5, the club announced that outside linebacker Jacob Martin also tested positive for COVID-19.
With the Texans set to play the Jacksonville Jaguars Sunday at 12:00 p.m. CT at TIAA Bank Field, there is some concern about the game being postponed. So far, the game is still on track to be played as scheduled.
“The league wants to play the game if possible,” interim coach Romeo Crennel said via Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle. “They will wait until tomorrow before making a decision — at the latest, Saturday, when we travel.”
The Texans are 1-6, same as the Jaguars, who are also coming off a bye week. A win would keep the Texans’ slim playoff hopes alive.
