Al-Shaair (groin/personal) remained absent from practice Thursday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Al-Shaair played through a groin injury in Week 9, and it's unclear whether that or his personal issue is the driving force behind his pair of practice absences to begin Week 10 prep. The starting linebacker has one more chance to resume practicing Firday before the Texans face the Browns on Sunday.
