Coutee (ankle) remained sidelined during practice Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of The Houston Chronicle reports.
Limited by a series of hamstring injuries his rookie season, Coutee seemed to stay healthy throughout the offseason program and early part of training camp, only to sprain his ankle during the Texans' preseason opener Aug. 8. He was held out of last week's exhibition against the Lions and doesn't appear to have any shot at returning for Saturday's matchup with the Cowboys. An earlier report suggested his ankle injury was minor, but it's now been nearly two weeks and he still hasn't been spotted on the practice field.
