Texans' British Brooks: Receives two red-zone carries
British Brooks had two carries for zero yards in Sunday's 18-15 loss to the Broncos in Week 9.Brooks was surprisingly allotted two consecutive carries at the goal-line in the first quarter and was stuffed by Denver's interior line on both. Those were two of the five running plays called inside the Broncos' two-yard line during the game that failed to get into the end zone, and Houston failed to produce a touchdown in three red-zone possessions. Brooks has four total carries for 15 yards this season and is a regular on special teams.

Texans' British Brooks: No usage in Week 8
British Brooks played 11 of the Houston Texans' 80 snaps on offense but didn't record any touches in Sunday's 26-15 win over the 49ers.Brooks has been active for five of the Texans' first seven games this season but has been deployed mainly as on the team's kick-coverage and return units, logging nearly three times as many snaps on special teams as offense. The Houston backfield would likely need to lose multiple contributors to injury before Brooks is called upon to play meaningful snaps on offense.

British Brooks (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Rams.The Houston Texans will go with a four-man backfield that includes Nick Chubb, Dameon Pierce, Dare Ogunbowale and Woody Marks, which means Brooks will be in street clothes for Sunday's regular-season opener. Brooks' next chance to play is Week 2 against the Buccaneers on Monday, Sept. 15, though he's unlikely to play in that contest unless there's an injury in Houston's backfield.

Texans' British Brooks: On roster bubble
British Brooks is one of five running backs projected to make the initial 53-man roster, per DJ Bein-Aime of ESPN.com.There's a big caveat to Brooks grabbing one of those spots; it may depend on whether the Houston Texans have Joe Mixon (ankle) open the season on the reserve/non-football injury list. Brooks has experience on special teams and at fullback, so that versatility could win him a spot outright, but the most likely path involves Mixon being unavailable for Week 1.
