Texans C Jarrett Patterson Has Fractured Ankle

This will likely end the rookie’s season and marks yet another offensive line injury for a Texans team that’s had a tough run of luck in that department this year. 

Patterson, 24, was a four-year starter at Notre Dame and earned honorable mention and third-team All-American selections in 2020 and 2021. The Texans drafted him in the sixth round of the 2023 NFL Draft. 

He signed a four-year, $4 million rookie contract that included a signing bonus of $169,976. 

In 2023, Patterson appeared in seven games and made seven starts for the Texans at center. Pro Football Focus had him graded as the No. 23 center out of 38 qualifying players.
