  • Texans' Azeez Al-Shaair: Houston's leading tackler Sunday

    Al-Shaair recorded eight tackles (five solo) and two passes defensed during Sunday's 23-20 win versus the Bills.

    Al-Shaair now has at least eight tackles in three of the Texans' last four games. He's on pace for his second 100-tackle season in as many years, and he profiles as a solid IDP play heading into a Week 6 matchup at New England.

  • Texans' Azeez Al-Shaair: Now questionable for Week 5

    Al-Shaair is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bills with an illness.

    A late addition to the Week 5 injury report, Al-Shaair looks as though he could be at risk of sitting out Sunday if he doesn't shake off the illness leading up to the 1 p.m. ET kickoff. The linebacker has produced 29 tackles and one sack through the first four weeks of the season.

  • Texans' Azeez Al-Shaair: Double-digit tackles Sunday

    Al-Shaair recorded 10 total tackles (nine solo), including two tackles for loss, during Sunday's 34-7 loss to the Vikings.

    Al-Shaair was one of the few bright spots on a Texans defense that allowed a season-high 34 points in Week 3, leading the game in total tackles. The first-year Texan has impressed during his first three games in Houston, recording 25 total tackles, including 1.0 sacks, and defending one pass on 169 defensive snaps. Expect Al-Shaair to continue being a viable IDP option as Houston hosts Jacksonville in Week 4.
