According to sources, the team is hoping to get DeAndre Hopkins back at some point in the playoffs after he misses the rest of the season with a knee injury.
A second opinion with Dr. Neal ElAttrache is being sought. It's not certain whether he will need surgery.
The injury that Hopkins suffered in Monday night's loss to the Los Angeles Rams had an exam on Tuesday. The two Rams defenders came down on top of each other as Hopkins tried to catch a pass in the end zone.
He rolled over on his knees and didn't play the rest of the game.
He missed three games earlier this season with a injury.
He leads the team with eight touchdown catches this season, his second with the team, who acquired him in a blockbuster trade with the Houston Texans last year.
The five-time Pro Bowl selection has 572 receiving yards and 42 catches this season.
