Anderson (ankle) did not practice Saturday and has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Cowboys. Anderson has not practiced since injuring his left ankle in Week 9 against the Jets. His next chance to play will be against the Titans on Sunday, Nov. 24. With Anderson sidelined Monday, Derek Barnett and Denico Autry will continue to see increased snaps at defensive end alongside starter Danielle Hunter.

Anderson, who sat out Friday's practice due to an ankle injury, is considered unlikely to play Week 11 at Dallas on Monday night, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. If this news holds, Anderson will miss a second straight game, but he is not a candidate for injured reserve. Wilson reports his recovery from a high-ankle sprain is going well. The Texans hope he can return within the next few weeks in preparation for the stretch run in December. A host of depth defensive linemen replaced Anderson in last week's loss to the Lions.

Anderson (ankle) was listed as a DNP on Thursday's injury report, DJ Bien-Aime of ESPN.com reports. Anderson has been unable to practice since injuring his ankle during the Texans' Week 9 loss to the Jets. The 2023 first-round pick will have two more chances this week to practice in at least a limited capacity to give himself a shot at playing Monday against the Cowboys. Denico Autry and Derek Barnett will continue to see increased reps on the defensive line alongside Danielle Hunter for as long as Anderson is sidelined.

Anderson (ankle) didn't practice Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. Anderson sustained an ankle injury in the Texans' Week 9 loss to the Jets, and Wednesday's DNP suggests the issue could be serious. The 2023 Defensive Rookie of the Year likely needs to upgrade to at least limited participation Thursday or Friday in order to suit up for Houston's Week 10 matchup against the Lions. If Anderson is unable to do so, expect Derek Barnett to see additional work with the Texans' first-team defense.

Anderson is questionable to return to Thursday's game against the Jets due to an ankle injury, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. Anderson suffered the injury in the first half and was examined in the medical tent. He remained on the sideline and was spotted testing his ankle by making cuts on simulated snaps, though he may not be able to return to the game. His absence would be a big blow to both the Texans' pass rush and run defense.
