Ja’Marcus is the second Texans player to suffer an injury against the Chargers.<\/p>\n

The injury bug has spread for the Houston Texans<\/a>, claiming Ja\u2019Marcus Ingram.<\/p>\n

The Texans lost backup quarterback Graham Mertz just ahead of the first half, as he scrambled to his right trying to convert a third-and-long. A frustrated Mertz slammed his helmet before leaving the field and giving way to Davis Mills, who started the game.<\/p>\n

Ingram\u2019s injury came after the break, adding another concern to a list of potential issues that the Texans entered the contest with.<\/p>\n

Ingram, 28, is entering his first full season with the Texans, arriving from the Buffalo Bills<\/a> via the waiver wire. He is part of a deep cornerback room for the Texans, but one that battled injuries last season.<\/p>\n

Ingram played in four games for the Texans last season.<\/p>\n

He had 6 total tackles and 2 pass deflections. For his career, Ingram has 39 total tackles, 6 PBUs, 2 interceptions, and 1.0 sacks in 33 games with 1 start.<\/p>\n
