E.J. Speed

LB · Houston Texans — NFL fantasy hub on MySidelines

Durability Story · Watch

Open E.J. Speed's injury ledger and you keep seeing Knee, Quadriceps, and Ankle. That repetition is the story. Evidence check: injury reports across 7 different seasons; 1 games missed in the last three (2024: 1); 2024 was the rough one at 1 missed; reinjury band sits at High. The news desk has been quieter lately, so the structured history is doing most of the talking.

For fantasy, E.J. is startable but fragile: keep a handcuff or streaming backup ready when the next soft-tissue note lands.

Based on injury history + recent reporting. Not a medical diagnosis.
