The Houston Texans<\/a> lost starting safety Reed Blankenship<\/a> to a concussion in the second quarter of Sunday’s game against the Jacksonville Jaguars<\/a>in London.<\/p>\n

Blankenship started every game this season after Houston signed him to a three-year, $24 million contract in free agency. He has been up-and-down in coverage, allowing a 76% completion rate when targeted this season.<\/p>\n

On Jaguars running back Bhayshul Tuten<\/a>‘s 27-yard touchdown reception in the second quarter, Blankenship missed a tackle as Tuten sprinted to the end zone.<\/p>\n

Blankenship’s backup is M.J. Stewart<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair<\/a> also was evaluated for a concussion but returned to the field in the second half.br\/]<\/p>\n
