  • The Houston Texans have moved left tackle Chris Clark to injured reserve, according to John McClain of the Houston Chronicle. Clark suffered a season-ending ankle injury during his team’s Week 12 loss to the Baltimore Ravens.

  • In 10 games Clark played 288 pass-blocking snaps and allowed four sacks, six hits and 16 hurries, resulting in a pass-blocking efficiency of 92.9, which ranks 62nd out of 80 qualifying tackles. His 37.9 run-blocking grade ranks 65th among tackles.
