Texans vs. Bills Thursday injury report.
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 Thursday’s Houston Texans injury report:
DID NOT PARTICIPATE:
- Defensive End Derek Barnett (Shoulder)
- Running Back Dameon Pierce (Hamstring)
- Running Back Joe Mixon (Ankle)
- Offensive Tackle Blake Fisher (Illness)
- Linebacker Jake Hansen (Back)
- Wide Receiver Robert Woods (Foot)
- Defensive End Jerry Hughes (Hip)
LIMITED PARTICIPATION:
- Wide Receiver Tank Dell (Chest)
- Safety Jimmie Ward (Groin)
- Right Tackle Tytus Howard (Hamstring)
- Center Juice Scruggs (Hip)
- Left Tackle Laremy Tunsil (Ankle)
FULL PARTICIPATION:
- Defensive Tackle Kurt Hinish (Calf)
- Defensive End Dylan Horton (Illness)
The Texans could be without their starting running back Joe Mixon for the third week in a row, due to the ankle injury he suffered in week two. Mixon will likely be a game-time decision.
The good news is that Houston is likely to get their starting wide receiver in Tank Dell back from a painful chest injury. Dell has all the talent in the world, but has gotten off to a slow start compared to his impressive rookie season.
Houston needs all the help they can get against a talented Bills team that is looking to bounce back after an embarrassing loss to the Baltimore Ravens.
