Akins caught two of three targets for eight yards in Sunday's 23-10 loss to Washington in Week 11.
Akins and the rest of the Houston pass-catchers suffered as Davis Mills had one of his worst performances of the season. The Texans manage a total of five yards on offense in the first half and only 148 for the game. Akins has experienced a revival this season and leads the tight end group in receiving yards, but rookie Teagan Quitoriano appears to be pushing for the top spot on the depth chart.
