The Houston Texans will be without defensive end Mario Edwards Jr. for the next four games due to a suspension for violating the league's substance abuse policy. This season, Edwards has contributed significantly with 18 tackles and multiple sacks.

His absence will be felt against teams like the Green Bay Packers and New York Jets, but the Texans will look to Denico Autry, who is returning from his own suspension, to step up in his place.
