In the first quarter of Sunday’s 23-10 defeat to the Washington Commanders, Kirksey recorded the 700th tackle of his career when he tackled rookie running back Brian Robinson for a loss of one yard.

He was recognized during the game on the stadium scoreboard.“I didn’t even notice it,” Kirksey said. “I was so into the game that I was locked into the next play, but it’s definitely a good milestone to reach.”“He’s provided great leadership,” Texans coach Lovie Smith said. “All those things you expect from a captain is exactly who he is.”Copyright 2022 by KPRC Click2Houston - All rights reserved.
