Jacksonville Jaguars running back Carlos Hyde will be inactive for his team’s game against the Houston Texans, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

Hyde was acquired through a trade with the Cleveland Browns on Saturday, with Jacksonville sending a fifth-round pick to Cleveland in exchange for the running back’s services.

With star running back Leonard Fournette already ruled out, Hyde’s absence adds yet another hurdle for the Jaguars’ running game to overcome on Sunday.
