Texans' Denico Autry: Full participant in practice
Autry (knee) was a full participant in Houston's practice Saturday, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.
Autry was absent from practice earlier in the week but won't carry an injury designation into Monday's wild-card matchup versus the Steelers. The 35-year-old compiled eight tackles (five solo), including 3.5 sacks, across 12 games during the regular season.

Texans' Denico Autry: Upgrades to limited Friday
Autry (knee) was a limited participant in Friday's practice.
Autry upgraded to a limited participant in Friday's practice after missing Thursday's session due to a persisting knee injury he sustained before the season. Since being activated from the reserve/PUP list, Autry has not missed a game due to the issue and will likely be able to upgrade his practice participation and dodge an injury designation before Monday night's wild-card clash with the Steelers. Autry has one more practice to make this leap, and if he fails to do so, the defensive end's status for Monday's game will be in jeopardy.

Texans' Denico Autry: Absent from practice Thursday
Autry (knee) didn't practice Thursday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Autry's practice participation was impacted by a knee injury throughout the regular season, but he played in every game after making his season debut in Week 6. Based on that context, he will likely be available for Monday's wild-card round road game against the Steelers, though a return to practice Friday or Saturday would help assuage any concerns about the rotational pass rusher's availability.

Texans' Denico Autry: Good to go Week 18

Texans' Denico Autry: DNP due to knee issue Wednesday
Autry (knee) did not practice Wednesday.
Autry missed Houston's first five games this season due to a knee injury and continued to be listed on the injury report with the issue through mid-December, but it's not clear if his current issue is related. Regardless, a DNP to begin Week 18 prep isn't a good sign, but he'll have two more opportunities to return to practice before the Texans hand out injury designations for Sunday's matchup versus Indianapolis. If Autry can't play in that game, Derek Barnett could be in line for more defensive snaps.

Texans' Denico Autry: Limited in practice Thursday
Autry (knee) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
Autry was unable to practice Wednesday with a knee injury, but an upgrade in participation Thursday means the defensive end is likely trending towards playing in Sunday's contest against the Cardinals. The pass rusher followed a similar practice regimen during Week 13 prep and was still able to suit up against the Colts, so a limited or full session Friday likely means Autry will be good to go for Sunday's game.

Texans' Denico Autry: Dealing with knee injury
Autry (knee) did not participate at practice Wednesday.
Autry has been tending to a lingering knee issue throughout the season, and it looks like he may have suffered a re-aggravation of that injury. He'll probably have to practice in some capacity Thursday or Friday to give himself a chance to suit up Sunday versus the Cardinals.

Autry (knee) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Colts.

Texans' Denico Autry: Doesn't practice again Thursday

Texans' Denico Autry: Absent from practice
Autry (knee) did not participate at practice Wednesday, DJ Bien-Aime of ESPN.com reports.
Autry has played in six consecutive contests since being activated from the reserve/PUP list in early October following a knee injury, so his appearance on the injury report Wednesday could simply be the result giving the veteran a day off. The defensive lineman will have two more chances to return to practice prior to Sunday's matchup with the Colts.
