Azeez Al-Shaair Undergoes Thumb Surgery
Houston Texans Pro Bowl linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair (thumb) had successful surgery on his thumb, according to Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Sports. A full recovery is expected this offseason for Al-Shaair, although he might not be fully ready for the start of offseason workouts. The 28-year-old was a first-time Pro Bowler in 2025, recording 103 tackles (48 solo), a career-high two interceptions, nine pass breakups, a forced fumble, and a fumble recovery in 16 regular-season contests. It was the third time in Al-Shaair's seven NFL seasons that he reached 100 total tackles. He's a big reason why the Texans had one of the stingiest defenses in the league last year, and he should be in play again in IDP fantasy leagues for his tackling ability as he heads into the final year of his current contract.
