Texans rookie K.J. Dillon tried to play through a knee injury last night, but apparently won’t be attempting that the rest of the season.

Via Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle, Dillon suffered a torn ACL last night.

He continued to play on special teams after the injury.

The fifth-rounder from West Virginia was on crutches after the game, and had an MRI last night. The team hasn’t announced the move, or a corresponding roster replacement.
