The safety went through the procedure "not long after" the Texans' Week 6 win over the Jaguars, per Alexander. Blankenship is also working his way through the concussion protocol after suffering a head injury in the same game. His status will be worth monitoring as the team prepares for a Week 9 matchup with the Chargers.
