Texans TE Antony Auclair out against the Browns with eye injury

Houston Texans tight end Antony Auclair is out for the remainder of the Week 2 contest with the Cleveland Browns due to an eye injury.

HOUSTON — The injuries continue to pile up for the Houston Texans. Following the loss of Danny Amendola and Tyrod Taylor, the Texans lost tight end, Antony Auclair. Auclair sustained an eye injury midway through the third quarter and has been ruled out for the remainder of the game.

Auclair was elevated to the Texans’ active roster on Saturday to give Houston additional help against the Browns front seven. The extra protection was helpful, as Houston held a 14-7 lead over the Browns before injuries began to derail the game.

Auclair signed with the Texans’ practice squad after he was left off Houston’s initial 53-man roster prior to the start of the season.
