Quitoriano caught a touchdown pass and finished with two receptions for 21 yards on two targets before he got hurt.
Texans linebacker Jake Hansen left the field to head to the locker room after being evaluated in the blue medical tent for a long time. The Texans’ medical staff took away his helmet.
In the second half, safety Lonnie Johnson Jr. absorbed a knee to his head and went to the locker room with trainers without his helmet.
Quitoriano underwent successful surgery to repair groin and oblique injuries last season, according to league sources.
Quitoriano was placed on injured reserve after getting hurt against the Carolina Panthers.
The decision to undergo surgery was recommended when the injuries weren’t responding to treatment.
As a rookie, Quitoriano began the season on injured reserve with a knee injury. Activated for a Thursday night game against the Philadelphia Eagles, Quitoriano caught his first NFL touchdown on his first NFL reception.
He had three catches for 83 yards in a season-ending win over the Indianapolis Colts and finished the year with seven catches for 113 yards and two scores.
Quitoriano caught 40 passes for 512 yards and six touchdowns at Oregon State.
