Scruggs (foot) has been ruled out for Wednesday's matchup versus the Ravens. Scruggs is set to miss his fourth straight game as he continues to battle a foot injury suffered during the team's Week 13 win over the Jaguars. In his absence, Tytus Howard will get the start at left guard once again.
Scruggs (foot) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against Kansas City. Scruggs will miss his third straight game due to a foot injury he sustained in Week 13 against the Jaguars. His next opportunity to play will be Christmas Day against the Chiefs. Tytus Howard will continue to start at left guard due to Scruggs' injury.
Scruggs (foot) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup versus Miami. This was Scruggs' expected designation, as he was deemed likely to miss at least two games after injuring his foot Week 13 against the Jaguars. With the second-year left guard out of action this Sunday, Kendrick Green or Nick Broeker (hand) will likely be called upon for a start.
Scruggs is expected to a minimum of two games after sustaining a foot injury in the Texans' Week 13 win over the Jaguars, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. Despite Houston's Week 14 bye, Scruggs is expected to be sidelined for the immediate future. Kendrick Green or Nick Broeker will likely serve as the Texans' starting left guard over the next couple games in Scruggs' stead.
Scruggs will move from center to guard for Sunday's game against Detroit, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. Scruggs, who is normally the starter at center, will replace guard Kenyon Green (shoulder), who was placed on injured reserve. Jarrett Patterson will step in for Scruggs. The injury to Green highlights a need for the offensive line to better protect quarterback C.J. Stroud, who was sacked eight times and absorbed another 11 hits in last week's loss to the Jets. Stroud has been taken down 30 times this season, second most in the NFL behind Cleveland's Deshaun Watson (33). Having Scruggs operate at guard, where he played during his rookie 2023 season, allows him to focus on his blocking assignment without the need to make line calls on protection adjustments.
Scruggs (groin) is active for Sunday's game against the Vikings. Scruggs missed the team's Week 2 win over the Bears, but he'll be back on the field for Week 3 after logging back-to-back limited practices to close out the week. The second-year pro should draw the start at center.
Scruggs (groin) was a limited participant in Friday's practice and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Vikings. Scruggs was forced to sit out Week 2 against the Bears after his groin injury held him out of practice. He was able to log back-to-back limited sessions this week, which gives him a chance to return following a one-game absence. Jarrett Patterson filled in for Scruggs at center in Week 2, but the former is also questionable for Sunday's game after missing Friday's practice due to a calf injury.
Scruggs (groin) is inactive for Sunday's matchup with the Bears. Scruggs will be unable to go in Week 2 after suffering a groin injury at practice during the week. Jarrett Patterson will likely receive the starting nod at center versus the Bears on Sunday Night Football.
Scruggs (groin) is questionable for Sunday night's game against the Bears. Scruggs was a mid-week addition to the injury report, getting in a limited session Thursday before logging a DNP on Friday. That downward trend would suggest he might be on the wrong side of the questionable tag. Scruggs played all 79 offensive snaps in the Week 1 win over the Colts. Jarrett Patterson might be next in line to start if Scruggs can't play Sunday.
