His absence, if it extends into the regular season, will add another wrinkle to Houston\u2019s plans at tackle.<\/p>\n<p>The Texans already overhauled the position this offseason. They traded <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/T\/TunsLa00.htm?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=www.profootballrumors.com&amp;utm_campaign=2025-08-23_pfr\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Laremy Tunsil<\/a> to the Commanders and replaced him by aqcuiring <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/R\/RobiCa00.htm?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=www.profootballrumors.com&amp;utm_campaign=2025-08-23_pfr\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Cam Robinson<\/a> from the Vikings. Houston also signed veteran <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/B\/BrowTr02.htm?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=www.profootballrumors.com&amp;utm_campaign=2025-08-23_pfr\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Trent Brown<\/a> in free agency and drafted Aireontae Ersery in the second round of April\u2019s draft. Along with Fisher and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/H\/HowaTy00.htm?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=www.profootballrumors.com&amp;utm_campaign=2025-08-23_pfr\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Tytus Howard<\/a>, who combined to play every snap at right tackle in 2024, the Texans have a variety of options on either end of their offensive line.<\/p>\n<p>Robinson returned to the field this week after missing a few practices with a minor leg injury. He has been splitting first-team LT reps with Ersery. The rookie has been cross-training at right tackle as well, but only lined up on the blind side during the preseason. With Brown still on the physically unable to perform list, Howard has been playing right tackle in camp and sat out both preseason games, suggesting he will start in Week 1. Fisher started both preseason games at right tackle; if his ankle has recovered by the start of the regular season, he\u2019ll likely be the Texans\u2019 swing tackle.<\/p>\n<p>As teams prepare to finalize their initial 53-man rosters by the Tuesday deadline, here is the latest from the injury front:<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Texans right tackle Blake Fisher is dealing with a mild ankle sprain that will sideline him for an&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":315697,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2056],"tags":[7579,340,7,221,253,2368,251,6,109,57,252,1840,222,764,4821],"class_list":{"0":"post-315696","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-houston-texans","8":"tag-blake-fisher","9":"tag-derrick-harmon","10":"tag-football","11":"tag-houston","12":"tag-houston-texans","13":"tag-houstontexans","14":"tag-miami-dolphins","15":"tag-nfl","16":"tag-philadelphia-eagles","17":"tag-pittsburgh-steelers","18":"tag-san-francisco-49ers","19":"tag-tanner-mckee","20":"tag-texans","21":"tag-tytus-howard","22":"tag-yetur-gross-matos"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/115087996639444583","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/315696","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=315696"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/315696\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/315697"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=315696"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=315696"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=315696"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
