Coutee (hamstring) was limited at Wednesday's practice.

Coutee missed the Week 8 win over the Dolphins, but his return to a limited practice Wednesday suggests that he has a chance to play Sunday against the Broncos. If so, he'll work in a receiving corps that no longer includes Will Fuller (knee), but was bolstered by the acquisition Tuesday of Demaryius Thomas. Once fully healthy, Coutee will remain a key cog in the Houston passing game, but the presence of Thomas may cut into Coutee's weekly target share more than it would if the Texans had replaced Fuller with a lower-profile option. Meanwhile, top wideout DeAndre Hopkins will remain an unquestioned high-volume target for quarterback Deshaun Watson.
