Sunday’s game against the Miami Dolphins marked his first game back from a foot injury that sidelined him the previous three games.
This is a new injury now for Fatukasi to rehab.
After competing against the Texans for two seasons in the division for the Jacksonville Jaguars, Fatukasi signed a one-year, $5.125 million contract with the defending AFC South champions after being released in March two years into a three-year, $30 million contract.
A 6-foot-4, 318-pound former New York Jets sixth-round draft pick from Connecticut, Fatukasi entered the season with 163 career tackles, 4 1/2 sacks and 19 quarterback hits.
Entering Sunday, Fatukasi had 23 tackles, one sack and four tackles for losses.
