The Houston Texans took a hit to their only fullback.

The club announced during their Week 13 encounter with the Cleveland Browns that rookie Troy Hairston would be questionable to return to the game at NRG Stadium with a rib injury.

On fourth-and-goal from the Browns’ 1-yard line with 13:06 to go in the second quarter, Hairston was blown up and allowed the ball to fall incomplete. Hairston appeared to be holding his groin area when he was tended to by trainers, but it turned out to be a rib injury.

Hairston’s lone target was his only entry into the game book to date.
