Texans' Desmond King: Missing preseason game

King (groin) is slated to miss Houston's preseason matchup against the Steelers on Friday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

King has appeared relatively healthy so far in camp, but he'll miss out on the Texans' first preseason outing with a groin injury. The 5-foot-10 cornerback was signed by Houston after being let go in the middle of the 2023 season from a mainly special teams role in Pittsburgh, finishing out the campaign with 47 tackles (22 solo) and one sack.
