Noel recorded two catches for 53 yards and three kickoff returns for 70 yards in Sunday's 36-31 loss to the Bills.
The wide receiver played on 24 of 79 offensive snaps and six more on special teams. Nico Collins, Xavier Hutchinson and Kayshon Boutte all played on more offensive snaps for the Texans. Noel, though, seems secure in his role as kick and punt returner, as he also had a fair catch on a punt during the defeat.
