Ersery (thumb) is questionable to play Saturday versus the Chargers.
Ersery underwent hand surgery earlier in the week, but he was able to return to log a limited practice Thursday. With Trent Brown (knee) already ruled out, Houston may have to turn to Blake Fisher and Tytus Howard as their starting offensive tackles in Week 17.

Ersery underwent surgery to repair his broken hand Tuesday and is without a timetable for return, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Ersery has been Houston's starting left tackle since Week 2, so this is a significant loss for a Texans team that is on a hot streak headed into the postseason. Tytus Howard and Trent Brown (knee) are options to take over at left tackle for the Texans while Ersery is idle.

Texans' Aireontae Ersery: Absent from Tuesday's practice
Rotowire
Ersery (hand) was absent from Tuesday's practice, Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Ersery sustained a hand injury near the end of Sunday's game against the Raiders. The offensive tackle's replacement, Trent Brown (knee), also suffered an injury late in the game and was absent from practice as well. Ersery will have two more opportunities to return to practice and prove he can suit up for Sunday's game, but if neither Brown nor he can go, the Texans' offense line may have some serious issues for Sunday's game.
