Hughes (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Titans. Hughes returned from injured reserve Week 10, and over his last two games he registered three tackles (two solo) while playing 25 snaps on defense. He'll be a healthy scratch for Sunday's AFC South clash, and his next chance to suit up will be Week 13 against the Jaguars on Sunday, Dec. 1. Derek Barnett and Denico Autry will be the Texans' rotational defensive ends for Week 12 behind starters Will Anderson and Danielle Hunter.

Hughes (hip) is active for Sunday Night Football against the Lions. The defensive end was activated from injured reserve Saturday after practicing in full Friday. Hughes was placed on IR in early October and missed the next five games, but the Texans opened his 21-day practice window to return from IR on Wednesday. Hughes played 38 defensive snaps across the four games he did play in early in the season, making one tackle.

The Texans activated Hughes (hip) from injured reserve Saturday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. Hughes was placed on injured reserve in early October due to a hip injury. He's been sidelined for the Texans' last five games, but his 21-day practice window to return from IR opened Wednesday. He was able to practice in full Friday, and his activation from IR seems to indicate that Hughes has a good chance at playing Sunday against Detroit.

Houston designated Hughes (hip) for return from its injured-reserve list Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. Hughes has been forced to miss the past five games due to a lingering hip issue, but there's now a path for him to suit up again as soon as Sunday, when the Texans will host the Lions. Wednesday's official practice report will provide further insight into his status for Week 10.

Hughes (hip) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Bills. Hughes downgraded from a limited practice Wednesday to DNPs both Thursday and Friday, so it's no surprise that he won't suit up in Week 5. Expect Rashad Weaver to serve as the Texans' top reserve defensive end in Hughes' stead.
