Per Houston Texans’ head coach Demeco Ryans, stud defensive tackle Mario Edwards suffered a pectoral injury in yesterday’s victory against the Arizona Cardinals.
This will be a solid test for the culture of Ryans’ defense. The “next man up”, whether that’s Naquan Jones, Junior Tafuna, Marlon Davidson or someone else, will need to hit the field with the same sold out for the swarm intensity that’s made this the NFL’s #1 defense this year.
Edwards had participated in 14 games so far this season, contributing 13 tackles, 6 solo stops and 1.5 sacks. The 11 year vet also had 4 hits on opposing quarterbacks, not to mention his intangible assistance to the rest of the Texans dynamic front 7.
Rest up Mario, we’ll leave the light on!
