Texans S Jalen Pitre will have surgery to repair a partial pectoral tear and miss the rest of the season, according to multiple reports.
The Texans have this week opened the 21-day practice window for LB Christian Harris. The starting LB has been out since August with a calf injury that originated back in July.
The league is suspending Texans LB Azeez Al-Shaair for three games following his hit to Trevor Lawrence's head in Sunday's game. The ban results not just from that hit but "repeat violations of the NFL's health and safety rules," according to the letter announcing the suspension.
Texans LB Azeez Al-Shaair got ejected in the first half of Sunday's game against the Jaguars after he hit a sliding Trevor Lawrence in the head. We'll see whether hit costs Al-Shaair further time via league suspension.
Texans DB Jalen Pitre suffered a partial pectoral tear in Sunday's loss to the Titans that is expected to cost him "multiple weeks," according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. The team doesn't yet know how long he'll be out or whether Pitre will eventually need surgery.
Texans WR Nico Collins played his first game in over six weeks, catching four passes 54 yards on seven targets. He did have a TD called back due to a penalty. Collins has retained his athleticism, but struggled for most of the night against Trevon Diggs.
Texans RB Joe Mixon had his way with the Dallas Cowboys on Monday Night Football. He ran 20 times for 109 yards and three TDs while also adding two catches for 44 yards. He has been a Fantasy MVP since returning from his ankle injury.
Texans WR Nico Collins (hamstring) is not listed on the final Week 11 injury report. He practiced all week, including full workouts on Friday and Saturday, and will play against the Cowboys on Monday night. The Texans were cautious bringing Collins back from this Week 5 hamstring injury, so we're expecting him to be ready for a full slate of snaps in this one. That lands Collins inside the top five of our Week 11 WR Rankings.
Texans WR Nico Collins (hamstring) was limited in Thursday's practice. HC Demeco Ryans was talking earlier this week like Collins would be back for Monday night's game vs. the Cowboys. That's what we're projecting, but we'll keep you updated on Collins' status over the next few days.
Texans WR Nico Collins (hamstring) is expected to practice all week and play against the Cowboys on Monday night, according to insider Aaron Wilson. "He's 100 percent ready to go," a source told Wilson. Collins was seemingly close to playing against the Lions this past week, but the Texans played it safe with his return. We'll look for further updates on his status, but we're tentatively expecting Collins to play something close to his usual role against the Cowboys. He sits high in the Week 11 WR Rankings.
QB C.J. Stroud helped stake the Texans to a 23-7 first-half lead Sunday night against the Lions but wound up struggling -- predictably -- the rest of the way. He threw for 164 yards and a TD on 14-of-20 passing in the first half, finding WR John Metchie in the end zone late in the second quarter. But Stroud went just 6 for 13 after the break, for 68 yards and a pair of INTs.
Texans WR John Metchie tied for the team lead with 5 receptions in Sunday night's loss to the Lions. He also led Houston with 74 receiving yards and snagged the team's only TD catch.
Texans WR Nico Collins (hamstring) is inactive for tonight’s game vs. the Lions. It was a strange week for Collins, who didn’t practice until Friday before being moved onto the active roster on Saturday but still ending up inactive. We’d expect him back for Week 11 but will track his status this coming week. Collins’ absence is bad news for QB C.J. Stroud, who’s averaged just 6.3 yards per pass attempt without Collins over the last four games.
Texans WR Tank Dell (back) is active for tonight’s game vs. the Lions. He was added to the injury report on Friday and listed as questionable, but we haven’t heard anything to suggest the back will be a major issue tonight. He's a strong fantasy play with WR Nico Collins out.
Texans WR Nico Collins (hamstring) is a game-time decision for tonight's meeting with the Lions, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Collins was moved onto the active roster on Saturday but is still listed as questionable. He's been out since Week 5 and only got in a limited practice on Friday this week. We'll look for further updates on Collins, but we might not find out whether he's playing until a little before 7 pm ET. Fantasy owners hoping to start Collins should have a replacement option rostered from the Texans, Lions, Rams, or Dolphins.
The Texans have activated WR Nico Collins (hamstring) from IR. He’s on track to play tomorrow night vs. Detroit. Out since Week 5, the fourth-year pro can be plugged back into fantasy lineups as a WR1.
Texans WR Tank Dell (back) is expected to play vs. the Lions on Sunday night, according to insider Aaron Wilson. Dell was added to the injury report and limited in practice on Friday. He's officially listed as questionable. But, barring a different report on his status, Dell can stay in Week 10 fantasy lineups. We still don't have word on WR Nico Collins' status for Sunday night, but Wilson writes that the Texans "have prepared all week to go without him."
The Texans have ruled Edge Will Anderson Jr. out for Sunday night's game against the Lions with an ankle injury. Anderson didn't practice at all this week. We'll see about his viability for Week 11, but you should plan as though he won't be available.
Texans RB Dameon Pierce (groin) is out for Sunday night’s game vs. the Lions. He’ll be replaced again by RB J.J. Taylor, who is not a fantasy option. RB Joe Mixon should be in for another big workload.
Texans WR Tank Dell was listed as Questionable on the final injury report after a limited practice on Friday. Dell's Week 10 status is now in jeopardy after sustaining the injury at practice.
