What happened: Houston Texans linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair exited Sunday's game to undergo a concussion evaluation. The team announced that the Florida Atlantic product is questionable to return with the game in progress.

Why it matters: Al-Shaair anchors the middle of Houston's defense and was recently cleared from the injury report after dealing with a groin issue. An absence during Sunday's contest leaves the Texans shorthanded at linebacker while holding a 17-14 advantage.

What to watch: Houston will update Al-Shaair's game status following the completion of his concussion evaluation.
