Texans' Juice Scruggs: Questionable versus Chicago
Scruggs (groin) is questionable for Sunday night's game against the Bears.
Scruggs was a mid-week addition to the injury report, getting in a limited session Thursday before logging a DNP on Friday. That downward trend would suggest he might be on the wrong side of the questionable tag. Scruggs played all 79 offensive snaps in the Week 1 win over the Colts. Jarrett Patterson might be next in line to start if Scruggs can't play Sunday.

Texans' Juice Scruggs: Making impression at OTAs
Scruggs has been impressive at the Texans' organized team activities, Aaron Wilson of click2houston.com reports.
A hamstring injury led to a slow start for Scruggs' rookie campaign in 2023, but he ultimately shook it off in the latter half of the season. The Penn State product and second-round draft pick started six of the final seven games as a replacement at left guard. He has reportedly made noticeable improvements in the weight room this offseason and is visibly bigger, stronger and more mobile. Although he filled in at guard last year, Scruggs projects to start at center entering the upcoming season.
