The Texans placed Ejiofor (knee) on injured reserve Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Ejiofor missed the entire 2019 season due to an Achilles injury, and now a torn ACL will force him to miss another year. It's a tough break for the 25-year-old linebacker, who played in 12 games in his 2018 rookie campaign, recording nine tackles and a sack. Ejiofor will aim to get healthy for the 2021 season.

Ejiofor sustained a torn anterior cruciate ligament at Friday's practice session, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
It's a tough break for Ejiofor, who was coming back from a torn Achilles' injury after missing the entire 2019 season. "It will be a long rehab for him, but he'll be back. We'll place him on IR in the next couple of days," said head coach Bill O'Brien. The 2018 sixth-round draft pick appeared in 12 games as rookie, recording nine tackles, a sack and one fumble recovery in 158 defensive snaps.

Ejiofor (Achilles) will have to re-establish himself after spending all of 2019 on injured reserve, John McClain of the Houston Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 2018 sixth-round pick suffered the Achilles injury in early May, so he not only missed all 16 games but also the entirety of the summer and training camp. Ejiofor appeared in 12 games and had nine total tackles and one sack as a rookie, but he'll likely have some work to do to enter the linebacker rotations in 2020.

Ejiofor missed the last two games with the shoulder injury, but his full participation Wednesday illustrates he's ready to return for Week 13. The 23-year-old should resume his rotational role at outside linebacker behind Jadeveon Clowney.
