EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J.—Houston Texans defensive end Will Anderson Jr. left the game against the New York Jets on Thursday night with an injured left ankle.

Anderson, the No. 3 overall pick in last year’s draft, was hurt with 7:18 remaining in the first quarter during a 12-yard run by Breece Hall. Anderson was on his knees in the middle of the field after the play and was in obvious pain while smacking the turf with his hand. He needed assistance to walk off the field.
