McDonald Out, Texans Adjust Defense | Houston Texans News

Houston Texans fans brace for a delay on Kayden McDonald’s debut — the second-round pick, sidelined by an ankle injury and placed on IR, will miss Week 1 against Buffalo. A promising All-American who flashed potential in preseason, including a sack vs. the Raiders, McDonald’s absence forces the team to pivot. Veteran Jaden Crumedy joins the rotation to plug the gap, while Logan Hall steps up inside, rotating with Tommy Togiai and Sheldon Rankins. The defense adapts — no panic, just smart moves to stay competitive as they gear up for their opener. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
