Texans' Braden Smith: Placed on injured reserve
The Texans placed Smith (foot) on injured reserve Tuesday, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.
The offensive tackle is set to miss four to six weeks with a torn plantar fascia tendon. Smith was carted off the field last Wednesday with the injury, making Trent Brown the Texans' starting right tackle for the Week 1 matchup with the Bills. Even if the 30-year-old Smith recovers quicker than his timeline predicts, the tackle will need to miss at least four regular-season games on IR (unless he works out an injury settlement with the team) before becoming eligible to return to the team's active roster.

Texans' Braden Smith: Carted off field
Smith (foot) was carted off the field during Wednesday's practice, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Practice had to stop when the offensive tackle was carted off. Smith was set to be the starting right tackle for the Texans, meaning if the foot issue is severe, the offensive line will take a huge blow headed into the opening-day contest with the Bills. If Smith must miss time, Trent Brown or Blake Fisher will likely start the season at tackle or guard.
