Texans' Will Anderson: Little impact in win
Anderson did not record a tackle and had one quarterback hit in Sunday's 23-20 win over the Jaguars in Week 13.
Anderson dealt with an ankle injury during the practice week, which may have contributed to his zero-tackle performance. He played 63 percent of the defensive snaps, which is slightly below his season average when available for a full game (69 percent).

Anderson (ankle) does not have an injury designation for Sunday's game against Jacksonville.
Anderson didn't practice Wednesday due to a lingering ankle issue, but he progressed to a limited session Thursday and a full practice Friday.

Texans' Will Anderson: Doesn't practice Wednesday

After missing the Texans' Weeks 10 and 11 contests with the ankle injury, Anderson returned last Sunday against the Titans and logged 2.0 sacks on 51 percent of the defensive snaps. As long as he didn't suffer a setback with the ankle, Anderson should be able to play through it again this Sunday versus Jacksonville.

Texans' Will Anderson: Still nursing injury
Anderson (ankle) was listed as a limited participant on Wednesday's practice estimation.
Anderson has missed each of the Texans' last two games after sustaining an ankle injury in the Week 9 win loss to the Jets, and Wednesday's estimated limited session could be an indication that he's nearing a return to the field. The 2023 Defensive Rookie of the Year's practice participation Thursday and Friday will likely offer the best insight into whether he can play in Sunday's divisional matchup against the Titans.

Texans' Will Anderson: Won't play Monday

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.

Texans' Will Anderson: Likely out Monday
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.

Texans' Will Anderson: Doesn't practice Thursday
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.

Texans' Will Anderson: Won't play Sunday
Anderson (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Lions.
It's no surprise that Anderson won't suit up Sunday, as he was unable to practice all week after sustaining an ankle injury in the Texans' Week 9 loss to the Jets. Houston could struggle rushing the passer in Week 10 without Anderson, especially against a Lions offensive line that has allowed just 19 sacks in eight games this season. Derek Barnett will likely start opposite Danielle Hunter on the Texans' defensive line while Anderson is sidelined.
