Is Dalton Schultz playing today?
{{/usCountry}}Schultz is active, healthy, and playing. He just isn't seeing the ball at all for Houston. The Texans attempted 11 passes in the first half, with quarterback CJ Stroud spreading the ball to six different players. Schultz wasn't one of them.
Backup tight end Foster Moreau, meanwhile, got three targets. He caught two passes, including a seven-yard touchdown.
Schultz's lack of involvement raised questions about why he was not being used. However, the report notes that Moreau also played a lot in Week 2, so his involvement is not completely unusual.
