The 3-1 Houston Texans are set to face the 3-1 Buffalo Bills this Sunday at home. If the Texans want to be taken seriously in the AFC, they need to show up in this tough matchup.
Here is a look at Friday’s Houston Texans injury report:
DID NOT PARTICIPATE:
- Defensive End Derek Barnett (Shoulder) OUT
- Running Back Joe Mixon (Ankle) OUT
- Defensive End Jerry Hughes (Hip) OUT
- Right Tackle Tytus Howard (Hamstring) QUESTIONABLE
- Linebacker Jake Hansen (Back) QUESTIONABLE
LIMITED PARTICIPATION:
- Running Back Dameon Pierce (Hamstring) QUESTIONABLE
- Wide Receiver Robert Woods (Foot) QUESTIONABLE
- FULL PARTICIPATION:
- Defensive Tackle Kurt Hinish (Calf)
- Defensive End Dylan Horton (Illness)
- Wide Receiver Tank Dell (Chest)
- Left Tackle Laremy Tunsil (Ankle)
- Safety Jimmie Ward (Groin)
- Center Juice Scruggs (Hip)
- Offensive Tackle Blake Fisher (Illness)
The Texans are now officially without their starting running back Joe Mixon for the third week in a row. Backup running back Dameon Pierce practiced today for the first time in weeks, which means there is a chance he could be active. If not, it will be Cam Akers and Dare Ogunbowale once again.
Houston has taken a hit to their depth on their defensive line, ruling out both Jerry Hughes and Derek Barnett, but the good news is that their starting wide receiver Tank Dell practiced fully and will play this weekend.
Houston (-116) is currently projected to beat the Bills this Sunday, according to Fanduel Sportsbook.
