As for the tear, it looked like a fluke, he jumped and landed funny, and he immediately grabbed the back of the knee. He did try to to go back in and play for one play. Then he came off the field and they walked him to the locker room.

I hope this is not the beginning of a trend. But better to happen now then later in the year.

But have we already established a trend here ? This is the third injury and the most serious in just the few months he's been here and the second one that's required surgery. The third injury was the concussion in Denver during practice, and I've now read that's not the first known concussion of his career.
I wanted this guy all along as our pick but I assumed the Texans thoroughly vetted him, so if he's got an injury history they surely discovered that and gave it due diligence. There was also talk of him lacking motivation, being a bit on the lazy side, but those rumors never concerned me.

A meniscus tear can happen very randomly but they really do need to fix the field. I don't know what their options are given that the stadium gets used for all sorts of other nonsense but they need to prioritize the NFL field. It sucks and it always has.
