Speed will miss the entire 2026 season due to a torn quadriceps tendon, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Speed underwent surgery over the offseason after scans revealed a total tear rather than a partial tear. He opened training camp on the active/PUP list with the hope that he would be available to play at some point in the regular season, but the injury is severe enough for Speed to miss the entire 2026 season. He'll shift his focus toward being fully healthy for the 2027 campaign.
