Dorsett is in line to work as a starting outside wide receiver during Sunday's game against the Cowboys, as the Texans have ruled out both Nico Collins (foot) and Brandin Cooks (calf) for the contest, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
The 5-foot-10, 192-pound Dorsett and the 6-foot-1, 200-pound Chris Moore will presumably see most of the reps on the perimeter for Houston, while the lone other healthy receiver on the 53-man roster -- the 5-foot-9, 212-pound Amari Rodgers -- lacks the speed to play on the outside and is better suited for the slot role. Houston will likely add a receiver or two from the practice squad Saturday to restore some depth at the position, but Dorsett should be primed for a heavy snap count nonetheless. When Cooks and Collins were both sidelined back in Week 9 against the Eagles, Dorsett handled a season-high 77 percent snap share and finished with three catches for 69 yards on five targets.
