  • Texans' Jake Hansen: Logs seven stops vs. Packers

    Hansen recorded seven total tackles (four solo), including one tackle for loss, in Sunday's 24-22 loss to the Packers.

    The Illinois product filled in for the injured Henry To'oTo'o (concussion) and played well, finishing third on the Texans in total tackles. Hansen has now played 181 total snaps (67 defensive and 114 on special teams) and recorded 15 total tackles in six appearances this season. He's expected to continue serving as one of the Texans' top backup inside linebackers as the year progresses.

  • Texans' Jake Hansen: No injury designation

    Hansen (back) holds no injury designation for Sunday's game against New England.

    Hansen is now active after missing out on last week's win over the Bills. He'll return to the field Sunday but will likely continue to play only on special teams, as he has so far this season.

  • Texans' Jake Hansen: Not practicing yet

    Hansen (back) did not practice Wednesday.

    Hansen missed Sunday's win over the Bills with the injury and remains sidelined for the start of Week 6 prep. His absence to start the week casts a shadow of doubt on his ability to return against New England; however, as an exclusive special teams contributor, his potential to sit out wouldn't impact the Texans' defensive game plan.

  • Texans' Jake Hansen: Inactive Sunday

    Hansen (back) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Bills.

    Hansen will miss his first game of the season due to a back injury. He's played exclusively on special teams this season, so his absence shouldn't impact Houston's defense.

  • Texans' Jake Hansen: Practices Thursday

    The linebacker appears on track to return Sunday after missing three straight games with a broken hand. Hansen has three tackles on 12 defensive snaps in eight games this season.

  • Texans' Jake Hansen: Missing another week

    Hansen (hand) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Jaguars.

    Hansen broke his hand in the Texans' Week 9 win over the Buccaneers, and he's now in line to miss his third consecutive game as he continues to recover from that break. Cory Littleton is expected to see more snaps in Houton's linebacker corps with Hansen missing another game.

  • Texans' Jake Hansen: Out for Week 11

    Hansen (hand) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

    The second-year linebacker out of Illinois is in line to miss his second consecutive game since breaking his hand during the Texans' Week 9 win over the Buccaneers. With Hansen missing more time, expect Cory Littleton to see an uptick in snaps in Houston's linebacker corps this Sunday.

  • Texans' Jake Hansen: Missing Week 10

    Hansen (hand) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Bengals, DJ Bien-Aime of ESPN.com reports.

    The 25-year-old suffered a broken hand during the Texans' Week 9 win over the Buccaneers, so it's no surprise that he'll be inactive this Sunday. Cory Littleton is expected to see an uptick in work in Houston's linebacker corps with Hansen missing time.

  • Texans' Jake Hansen: Suffers broken hand

    Hansen suffered a broken hand during Houston's win versus the Buccaneers on Sunday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    Hansen is slated to go undergo surgery on his broken hand and will likely be out indefinitely. The 25-year-old still has a chance to return at some point later in the season, but for now Cory Littleton should be in line for more playing time in Hansen's absence.

  • Texans' Jake Hansen: Leaves with injury

    Hansen has exited Sunday's game against the Buccaneers with a hand injury.

    Hansen is considered questionable to return. His absence will likely have more impact on the team's special teams unit than on defense, although it will thin the depth at linebacker while he is unable to play.

  • Texans' Jake Hansen: Nabs spot over veteran

    Hansen made the Texans' 53-man roster Tuesday, Brooks Kubena of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    In a notable decision, Hansen, an undrafted free agent out of Illinois, beat out veteran Kevin Pierre-Louis. Hansen's interception in the preseason finale against the 49ers could have been the tipping point for head coach Lovie Smith, who places a high priority on turnovers. Both Hansen and Pierre-Louis spent time on the first-team defense while third-round rookie Christian Harris has been sidelined the past three-plus weeks with a soft-tissue injury. Harris is expected to push for a starting outside linebacker spot when he returns, but the one unofficial depth chart published during preseason showed Hansen behind Pierre-Louis and Harris, which suggests Hansen could line up with the starters Week 1 against the Colts.
