Introducing the players from both the Texans and the Raiders, who could be missing or completely ruled out for the Monday matchup at Estadio Azteca.

Already we had shown you the stars of Houston and Oakland that you will be able to see this Monday night at Estadio Azteca. However, here is a list of the players that we might miss for this game.

TEXANS

J.J. Watt

The defensive end of the Texans, two-time NFL MVP, was one of the elements that the Mexican fans were eagerly awaiting, however the player was ruled out for the rest of the year after a disc injury in his spine, which he had been carrying for some time.

Watt has been out since week 3 of this season, after injuring himself in the Thursday night game against the Patriots.

Jaelen Strong

The second-year receiver will be out of the game in Aztec lands due to an ankle injury.

So far, Strong has played 8 games with the Texans this season, accumulating 14 receptions, the same number he had in 2015 in 10 games played, with 131 yards and no touchdowns so far.

RAIDERS

Aldon Smith

The talented linebacker for the Oakland Raiders, who shone with San Francisco in past seasons, is another player who will miss out on this game, as he has been suspended by the league since November of last year for violating the NFL's substance abuse policy.

The player hopes that his situation will be resolved in the coming days, however the league and commissioner Roger Goodell will have the final say.
