Texans' Braden Smith, Ali Gaye carted off from joint practice

Houston Texans right tackle Braden Smith and reserve defensive end Ali Gaye were carted off the field together Wednesday early in a joint practice with the Carolina Panthers.

Texans coach DeMeco Ryans offered no update on the nature of the injuries after practice or if they might miss any time. A source, however, told ESPN's Adam Schefter that the Texans believe Smith suffered a foot injury.

The injuries occurred on separate practice fields almost simultaneously and action was halted as the players were initially helped onto different carts. The carts then converged and both players were taken to the locker room on one cart.
