Top Texans News

  • Texans' Will Anderson: Notches sack in loss

    Anderson compiled eight total tackles (four solo), including 1.0 sacks, while also adding a pass defensed in Sunday's 20-6 loss to Cincinnati.

    Anderson was able to get to the quarterback again during Week 2, bringing down Joe Burrow for a five-yard loss in the second quarter. The 25-year-old finished second on the team in tackles behind linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair (12), and Anderson has now registered 11 total tackles (five solo), including 1.5 sacks, while also notching a pass defensed over two games this season.

  • Texans' Jaylin Noel: Records 107 all-purpose yards vs. Cincinnati

    Noel caught one pass on five targets and added a 13-yard carry during the Texans' 20-6 loss to the Bengals on Sunday. He also returned three punts for 32 yards and one kickoff for 31 yards.

    Noel and the rest of the Texans' prominent wide receivers saw a bump in offensive snaps due to the absence of Nico Collins (hamstring), with the former's 48 snaps third-most behind Xavier Hutchinson (65) and Kayshon Boutte (58). Noel's offensive production perhaps didn't match his increased playing time, though he ended up finishing second on the Texans in rushing yards behind C.J. Stroud (29) and ahead of running backs David Montgomery (10) and Woody Marks (eight). Noel is the Texans' primary returner on kickoffs and punts, and he would continue to operate in an elevated role on offense if Collins is ruled out for Week 3 against the Colts on Sept. 27.

  • Texans' Azeez Al-Shaair: Secures 12 tackles in loss

    Al-Shaair recorded 12 total tackles (six solo) during Sunday's 20-6 loss to the Bengals.

    Al-Shaair was on the field for every defensive snap for the second straight week, leading the team in takedowns against Cincinnati. The linebacker has now registered 20 total tackles (11 solo) over the first two contests of the year.

  • Texans' Jared Wayne: Seven targets in loss

    Wayne caught two of his seven targets for 33 yards in Sunday's 20-6 loss to the Bengals.

    Wayne saw a lot of attention due to the absence of Nico Collins (hamstring) in Sunday's contest. The wide receiver saw the third-most targets for the Texans, behind Dalton Schultz and Xavier Hutchinson but could not seem to catch most of them. Wayne played 40 of the team's 80 offensive snaps in the contest.

  • Texans' Foster Moreau: Hauls in two passes in Week 2 loss

    Moreau caught both of his targets for 34 yards and added a tackle on special teams during Sunday's 20-6 loss to the Bengals.

    Moreau was listed as a starter, though he played only 23 of the Texans' 80 offensive plays, well behind Dalton Schultz's 54 snaps. Moreau ended up fourth on the Texans in receiving yards, which included a 25-yard catch early in the second quarter, and he's up to a 4-49-0 receiving line through two regular-season games. The Texans hit the road for Week 3 against the Colts, and while Moreau will contribute on offense and special teams, his pass-catching production will be limited while working behind Schultz.

  • Texans' Kayshon Boutte: Tallies three catches in Week 2 loss

    Boutte caught three of five targets for 37 yards during the Texans' 20-6 loss to the Bengals on Sunday.

    Both Boutte and Xavier Hutchinson were lined up for larger roles offensively after Nico Collins (hamstring) was ruled out prior to Sunday's game. Boutte and Hutchinson ended with the same number of catches and receiving yards, but it was tight end Dalton Schultz who led all Texans pass catchers with a 12-140-0 line on 14 targets. Collins is expected to miss the Texans' Week 3 tilt against the Colts, so Boutte should have at least one more week serving in an elevated role, though he doesn't appear to be in line for the kind of production bump that Schultz had in Week 2.

  • Texans' Xavier Hutchinson: Only three catches on nine looks Week 2

    Hutchinson caught three passes on nine targets for 37 yards during the Texans' 20-6 loss to the Bengals on Sunday.

    Hutchinson operated in an elevated role on offense Sunday due to the absence of Nico Collins (hamstring). Hutchinson's 65 offensive snaps and nine targets were most among all Texans wide receivers, though he ended up catching only three passes from C.J. Stroud, with tight end Dalton Schultz leading Houston's pass catchers with a 12-140-0 line (on 14 targets). Hutchinson has six catches for on 15 targets for 69 yards through two regular-season games, and he would be the WR1 against the Colts in Week 3 if Collins is not cleared to return.

  • Texans' Ka'imi Fairbairn: Missed field goal in Week 2 loss

    Fairbairn went 2-for-3 on field-goal attempts in Sunday's 20-6 loss to the Bengals.

    The veteran kicker accounted for all of Houston's six points, making field goals from 37 and 45 yards sandwiched around a miss from 58 yards in the third quarter in which Fairbairn left the kick short. Through two games, Fairbairn is 3-for-4 on field-goal tries and has made all four PATs. He'll get another plus draw in the dome against the Colts in Indianapolis next Sunday.

  • Texans' Woody Marks: Totals 35 yards in loss

    Marks rushed eight times for eight yards in Sunday's 20-6 loss to the Bengals. He added five catches for 27 yards on six targets.

    Neither Marks nor David Montgomery (6-10-0 rushing) could get anything going on the ground against Cincinnati, as C.J. Stroud was actually the team's leading rusher with three carries for 29 yards. In the passing game, Marks out-targeted Montgomery six to two, as Montgomery turned in a 2-14-0 receiving line. The backfield duo split snaps essentially right down the middle for the second straight week, as Montgomery played 42 snaps to Marks' 38 against the Bengals. Marks is an RB3/4 heading into Week 3 against the Colts. Montgomery remains the favorite for goal-line work.
