Wade Woodaz, a linebacker for the Texans, broke his thumb during a preseason game against the Raiders, as reported by Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston. He is currently listed as day-to-day while he recovers and is expected to return to practice soon, wearing a cast.

In the same game, Woodaz made a notable contribution by intercepting a pass from Fernando Mendoza and running it back for an impressive 80-yard touchdown. This performance highlighted his skills on the field. As a fourth-round rookie, he is expected to be the primary backup at middle linebacker behind Azeez Al-Shaair as the regular season nears.

No additional information about his recovery timeline has been released.
