Wed Dec 25 22:20:00 UTC 2024: ## Texans’ Anderson Ready for Ravens Clash Despite Offensive Line Woes
**HOUSTON, TX** – The Houston Texans will welcome back star defensive end Will Anderson for Wednesday’s game against the Baltimore Ravens, but will be facing a significant challenge on the offensive line. Right guard Shaq Mason has been ruled out due to a knee injury sustained in last Saturday’s loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. The team will also be without Juice Scruggs, who is sidelined with a foot injury.
This leaves the Texans with limited options to fill the gaps on their offensive line. Kendrick Green and Kenyon Green are the likely candidates to join Tytus Howard and Jarrett Peterson in protecting quarterback C.J. Stroud.
The good news for Houston is the return of Anderson, who participated fully in Tuesday’s practice and has no injury designation. His presence will be crucial in pressuring Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson. Wide receiver John Metchie is also expected to play, adding depth to the receiving corps following the season-ending injury to Tank Dell.
However, the Texans’ defensive line is facing some injury concerns. Foley Fatukasi (ankle) is ruled out, while Denico Autry (knee) is listed as questionable for Wednesday’s game.
