休斯顿德州人队再折大将：防守线卫爱德华兹十字韧带撕裂赛季报销
休斯顿德州人队的防线在 10 月初再遭重击。主教练德梅科·瑞安斯（DeMeco Ryans）证实，防守线卫马里奥·爱德华兹（Mario Edwards Jr.）在第三周负于印第安纳波利斯小马队的比赛中前十字韧带撕裂，将缺席本赛季剩余全部常规赛。球队已将他放入伤病储备名单，为第四周主场对阵达拉斯牛仔队的"德州内战"做准备。
爱德华兹是征战联盟多年的老将，曾效力拉斯维加斯和达拉斯，这是他第二次披上德州人队战袍。本赛季前三场比赛，他贡献了两次半擒杀（两次各记半次）和 4 次擒抱。瑞安斯在谈到这位爱将时难掩惋惜，表示爱德华兹为球队防线带来了不一样的强度和活力，"我们会非常想念他"。教练组希望队内其他球员能站出来填补空缺。
人员调整方面，德州人队从训练阵容提拔了防守端锋克里斯·布拉斯韦尔（Chris Braswell），他将与多米尼克·罗宾逊、洛根·霍尔以及新秀萨巴斯蒂安·哈什轮换出场。德州人队本周日将在主场迎战牛仔队，比赛于中午开球，由 FOX 转播。在防线减员的情况下，这场同州对决对休斯顿而言无疑是一次严峻考验。

Texans Lose DL Mario Edwards Jr. for the Season to a Torn ACL
The Houston Texans' defensive front took another hit heading into October. Head coach DeMeco Ryans confirmed that defensive lineman Mario Edwards Jr. suffered a torn ACL in the Week 3 loss to the Indianapolis Colts and will miss the rest of the regular season. Edwards was placed on injured reserve ahead of the Week 4 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys.
A longtime NFL defensive lineman with previous stops in Las Vegas and Dallas, Edwards was in his second stint with Houston and had been credited with two half sacks and four total tackles through the first three games. "We're going to miss him a lot," Ryans said. As a corresponding move, the Texans signed defensive end Chris Braswell from their practice squad; he is expected to rotate with Dominque Robinson, Logan Hall and rookie Sabastian Harsh. Houston hosts Dallas on Sunday, with kickoff at noon on FOX.
