Top Texans News

  • Texans' Derek Stingley: Nursing oblique injury

    Stingley (oblique) did not participate at practice Wednesday.

    Stingley played fewer defensive snaps (55) than normally would have been expected in Week 15, but that could have been partly because of the lopsided nature of the contest. His activity at practice will be worth monitoring as the week continues leading up to Sunday's game versus the Raiders.

  • Texans' E.J. Speed: Doesn't practice Wednesday

    Speed (knee) did not participate at practice Wednesday.

    Speed was sidelined in Week 15 versus the Cardinals because of a knee injury, and now he's in danger of missing a second straight game. If he can't get back on the practice field Thursday or Friday, he'll likely miss Sunday's game versus the Raiders.

  • Texans' Sheldon Rankins: Tending to knee injury

    Rankins (knee) did not participate at practice Wednesday.

    Rankins played a healthy share of defensive snaps (41) in Week 15 versus the Cardinals, but it seems like he might have hurt his knee somewhere along the way. He'll probably have to return to practice Thursday or Friday to have any chance of suiting up in Week 16 versus the Raiders.

    ... See More ... See Less
  • Texans' Kamari Lassiter: Still dealing with foot injury

    Lassiter (foot) did not participate at practice Wednesday.

    Lassiter has played through the problem with his foot for the past few weeks, so it's likely Houston is just being cautious with its ascendent talent at cornerback. He'll get two more chances to practice before the Texans release their final practice report of the week Friday.

  • Texans' Azeez Al-Shaair: Sits out practice Wednesday

    Al-Shaair (ankle/knee) did not participate at practice Wednesday.

    Al-Shaair played 65 defensive snaps in Week 15 versus the Cardinals, and it's not immediately clear when he suffered any injury. He'll have two more opportunities to practice before Houston publishes its last practice report of the week Friday.

  • Texans' Nick Chubb: Limited in return to practice

    Chubb (ribs) was a limited participant Wednesday in his return to practice.

    Fellow Texans running back Woody Marks (ankle) was a non-participant after his early exit from Sunday's 40-20 win over Arizona. Chubb was inactive for the contest but now appears on track to return for Sunday's game against Las Vegas, with his role largely depending on Marks' health. Jawhar Jordan ran for 101 yards this past Sunday, doing most of his damage in the second half after Marks left early. Coach Demeco Ryans said afterward that Marks could've returned if the game had been closer.

  • Texans' Nick Chubb: Returns to practice

    Chubb (ribs) returned to practice Wednesday, Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Chubb missed Sunday's 40-20 win over Arizona, during which Woody Marks tweaked his ankle injury and missed the second half. Coach Demeco Ryans said afterward that Marks could've returned if the score had been closer, but there's nonetheless some question about Houston's Week 16 backfield picture now that Chubb is back on the practice field while Marks is sitting out Wednesday. An upcoming matchup with the Raiders equates to increased fantasy appeal for whoever gets most of the carries, be it Marks, Chubb or Jahwar Jordan (16 touches for 118 yards last week).

  • Texans' Woody Marks: Not practicing Wednesday

    Marks (ankle) didn't practice Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    Marks missed the second half of Sunday's 40-20 win over Arizona after tweaking a pre-existing ankle injury in the first half. Texans coach Demeco Ryans downplayed the injury afterward, even suggesting that Marks could've returned if the game had been closer. Still, fantasy managers need to keep a close eye on the situation now that Marks is absent from practice to start the week, ahead of a matchup with the Raiders on Sunday. Nick Chubb, on the other hand, returned to practice Wednesday after missing Week 15 with a rib injury.

  • Texans' Darrell Taylor: Officially designated to return

    Taylor (ankle) was designated to return from the injured reserve list Wednesday.

    The Tennessee product's return to practice Wednesday comes as no surprise, as Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reported that he was expected to be medically cleared in the next week or so. Taylor has appeared in four games for the Texans this season, recording three total tackles. He must still be added to Houston's active roster in order to play in Sunday's matchup against the Raiders.

  • Texans' Darrell Taylor: Returning soon

    Taylor (ankle) is expected to be medically cleared to return to practice in the next week, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    The 28-year-old has missed Houston's last six games on the injured reserve list due to an ankle issue, but it appears a return is in the near future. Once fully healthy, Taylor is expected to play a reserve role on the Texans' defensive line.

  • Texans' Henry To'oTo'o: Double-digit stops vs. Arizona

    To'oTo'o logged 10 tackles (four solo), including one tackle for a loss, during the Texans' 40-20 win over the Cardinals on Sunday.

    To'oTo'o reached double-digit stops for the second time this season Sunday, and he finished second on the team in tackles behind Azeez Al-Shaair (12). To'oTo'o is up to 77 combined tackles through 14 regular-season games, so he has three more games to reach the tackling century mark for a second-straight year, starting with this Sunday's home tilt against the Raiders.

  • Texans' Kamari Lassiter: Picks off Brissett in Week 15 win

    Lassiter tallied five tackles (three solo) and two pass defenses, including an interception, during the Texans' 40-20 win over the Cardinals on Sunday.

    Lassiter was able to shake off a foot injury to play in Sunday's game and ended up playing in 63 of 65 defensive snaps (96.9 percent). He logged his fourth interception of the season early in the third quarter on a pass from Jacoby Brissett that was intended for Michael Wilson in the end zone. Lassiter has logged one pick in back-to-back games, and his four interceptions (through 14 regular-season games) is tied for sixth most in the NFL.

  • Texans' Azeez Al-Shaair: Season-high 12 stops in Week 15

    Al-Shaair posted 12 tackles (seven solo) during the Texans' 40-20 win over the Cardinals on Sunday.

    Al-Shaair's 12 stops Sunday were a season high and the sixth time in his NFL career that he has reached that mark. He has played every single defensive snap in eight of the Texans' last nine games since the Week 6 bye and is up to 96 tackles (46 solo), eight pass defenses (one interception), one forced fumble and one fumble recovery through 14 regular-season games. Al-Shaair could reach the tackling century mark for the third time in his seven-year NFL career as soon as this Sunday against the Raiders.

  • Texans' Jawhar Jordan: Added to roster

    The Texans signed Jordan off their practice squad Tuesday.

    Houston still had the ability to elevate Jordan from the practice squad on two more occasions, but the Texans evidently didn't want to risk him getting poached by another team following his impressive showing in his NFL debut during Sunday's 40-20 win over the Cardinals. With Nick Chubb (ribs) inactive for the contest and with Woody Marks (ankle) missing the entire second half, Jordan stepped in and carried the ball 15 times for 101 yards to go with two receptions for 17 yards. Jordan should have at least a small role in the game plan in Week 16 against the Raiders if at least one of Chubb and Marks misses the contest, though head coach DeMeco Ryans already suggested Monday that Marks wasn't expected to miss additional time. If both Marks and Chubb are available, Jordan might be inactive for Week 16, since fellow depth backs Dare Ogunbowale and British Brooks are both core special-teams contributors.
