The Houston Texans will be without tight end Cade Stover for their game against the Miami Dolphins due to a last-minute medical emergency. Stover underwent an emergency appendectomy last night and will miss Sunday’s game, according to abcNews. The team stated this morning that Stover is recovering well and expected to return to full health.
Originally listed as questionable due to illness, Stover was later ruled out after undergoing surgery, with the update coming just hours before kickoff. The timing left the Texans' coaching staff with little preparation. Stover, a fourth-round pick from Ohio State, has had 14 receptions, 132 yards, and one touchdown in 14 games this season, according to the Houston Chronicle.
As the Texans adjust to playing without Stover, the focus shifts to how this will affect their game strategy and upcoming matchups. Miami's defense may exploit the gap in the Texans' offense, which Houston will aim to address.
