NFL mandates safety fix at NRG Stadium before Texans-Cowboys game

League requires separate piece of fallen metal on catwalk to be addressed before game can proceed

The NFL has mandated that a separate piece of fallen metal on a catwalk at NRG Stadium be addressed before the Texans-Cowboys game can proceed. The metal, which is believed to have fallen from the roof of the stadium, was discovered during a pregame inspection.

The Texans and Cowboys are scheduled to play at NRG Stadium on Sunday, September 11. The game is scheduled to start at 1 p.m. ET.

The NFL has not yet announced when the game will be played if it is not able to be played on Sunday. The league is expected to make an announcement later today.

The Texans and Cowboys are both 0-1 this season. The Texans lost to the Colts in Week 1, while the Cowboys lost to the Buccaneers.

The Texans are the defending AFC South champions. The Cowboys are looking to rebound from a disappointing 6-10 season in 2021.

The Texans-Cowboys game is one of the most anticipated games of the week. The game is expected to be a close one, and it could have a major impact on the AFC South race.
