Texans LT Aireontae Ersery Inactive for Saturday Due to Thumb Injury

Houston Texans left tackle Aireontae Ersery has been ruled inactive for Saturday's game against the Chargers due to a thumb injury. Ersery's absence leaves the Texans without both of their starting tackles, as Trent Brown was previously ruled out with ankle and knee injuries. Blake Fisher is slated to start in Ersery's place at left tackle, with Tytus Howard lining up at right tackle, impacting the team's offensive line configuration for Week 17.
