Dalton Schultz was forced from Houston’s Divisional Round game against the Patriots with a left calf injury.

18 January 2026

Schultz pulled up running a route in the Patriots’ end zone and walked off the field very gingerly. He then made his way to the locker room without assistance, but at a slow pace. The Texans’ de facto No. 1 pass catcher with Nico Collins sidelined, Schultz’s loss is a potentially enormous blow. C.J. Stroud ended the drive following Schultz’s departure with a horrid pick.
