Logs two sacks in win
Wed, Nov 11, 2026, 9:23 PM
Anderson logged two tackles (two solo), including 2.0 sacks, during Houston's win over the Chargers on Sunday.
Analysis: Anderson had another strong outing, recording two of the team's eight sacks during the victory. The 25-year-old is on pace to have the most productive season of his career, compiling 35 tackles (19 solo), including 9.5 sacks, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery across eight games played. |

Cleared to return to practice
Wed, Nov 11, 2026, 7:15 PM
The Texans designated Smith (hamstring) to return from injured reserve Wednesday.
Analysis: Smith landed on injured reserve in early October due to a hamstring injury. He's progressed enough in his recovery to return to practice and was a limited participant in Wednesday's session. Smith would need to be activated from IR in order to be available for Sunday's game against the Browns. |

Designated to return from IR
Wed, Nov 11, 2026, 7:09 PM
The Texans opened Hummel's (groin) 21-day practice window Wednesday.
Analysis: Hummel was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, and it was encouraging to see him back on the field after recovering from groin surgery. The Texans face the Browns on Sunday, but Hummel would need to be activated from IR in order to be available for that contest. |

Doesn't practice Wednesday
Wed, Nov 11, 2026, 6:02 PM
Al-Shaair (groin/personal) was listed as a DNP on Wednesday's injury report, Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Analysis: Al-Shaair was working through a groin issue during Week 9 prep but was cleared to play against the Chargers on Sunday, when he logged 10 tackles (four solo) and one pass defense in a 44-22 win for the Texans. He'll have two more chances to increase his practice participation and avoid an injury designation for Week 10 against the Browns on Nov. 15. |
Brevin Jordan Brevin Jordan Absent from practice Wednesday
Wed, Nov 11, 2026, 6:01 PM
Jordan (finger) did not practice Wednesday, Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Analysis: Jordan has dealt with knee and foot injuries this season and has played pretty sparingly behind Dalton Schultz, Foster Moreau and Cade Stover for much of the campaign. Jordan has logged just 29 offensive snaps across nine appearances. |
Marvin Harrison Jr. Marvin Harrison Jr. Dealing with hamstring injury
Wed, Nov 11, 2026, 4:45 PM
Harrison (hamstring) was limited in Wednesday's practice, Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Analysis: It's a new injury for the Texans' newest wideout, who has produced just six catches for 60 yards and a touchdown on 11 targets through three games with Houston. Harrison ran just 14 routes on 40 dropbacks last Sunday against the Chargers, tying him with Kayshon Boutte for fourth among Texans wideouts. Xavier Hutchinson and Tank Dell appear to have emerged as the Nos. 2 and 3 receivers behind Nico Collins. |
Tank Dell Tank Dell Limited in practice Wednesday
Wed, Nov 11, 2026, 4:42 PM
Dell (hand) was limited in Wednesday's practice, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Analysis: Dell operated as the Texans' third receiver for much of last Sunday's 44-22 win over the Chargers, running 22 routes on C.J. Stroud's 38 dropbacks. In just his second game since Week 16 of the 2024 campaign, Dell turned nine targets into five catches for 104 yards and a touchdown against Los Angeles. He's become a legitimate name to add in fantasy football ahead of Sunday's Week 10 date with the Browns. |
Woody Marks Woody Marks Limited at practice Wednesday
Wed, Nov 11, 2026, 4:39 PM
Marks (knee) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
Analysis: In this past Sunday's 44-22 win over the Chargers, Marks played on 66 percent of the Texans' snaps on offense, while carrying 18 carries times for 70 yards and catching one of his four targets for four yards. He's been working as the team's clear-cut RB1 in the absence of David Montgomery (groin), who didn't practice Wednesday, with further context regarding the the backfield duo's Week 10 status on track to arrive no later than Thursday's practice report. |
David Montgomery David Montgomery Still sidelined at practice
Wed, Nov 11, 2026, 1:04 PM
Montgomery (groin) remained sidelined at practice Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Analysis: Coach DeMeco Ryans noted Monday that he was hopeful Montgomery could resume practicing this week or next. With a DNP on Wednesday, the running back now has two more chances to make an on-field appearance prior to Sunday's game against the Browns. In the event that his absence continues, Woody Marks would continue to lead Houston's backfield, with Emari Demercado and Dare Ogunbowale in reserve. |
Davis Mills Davis Mills Makes 2026 debut in Week 9
Wed, Nov 11, 2026, 9:48 AM
Mills completed one of two pass attempts for seven yards and lost two yards on two carries in Sunday's 44-22 win over the Chargers.
Analysis: Since the Texans had built their lead to 19 with less than five minutes remaining in the fourth quarter, head coach DeMeco Ryans opted to pull starting quarterback C.J. Stroud from the game and handed the offense over to Mills. In what marked his first playing time of the season, Mills directed two possessions. He led the Texans to a field goal with 2:20 remaining, then knelt twice to run out the clock when Houston got the ball back with 1:07 left. With Stroud enjoying a bounce-back campaign, Mills' opportunities will likely be limited to garbage-time situations if Stroud stays healthy. |
Cade Stover Cade Stover Inactive for first time in 2026
Wed, Nov 11, 2026, 9:42 AM
Stover was a healthy inactive for Sunday's 44-22 win over the Chargers.
Analysis: Week 9 marked the first time all season that Stover sat out, with the Texans opting to keep their other four tight ends (Dalton Schultz, Foster Moreau, Brevin Jordan and Marlin Klein) active ahead of him. Through the Texans' first seven games, Stover had played less than half of the offensive snaps in each contest and recorded three receptions for 17 yards on five targets while rushing three times for five yards. |
Foster Moreau Foster Moreau Shut out again in Week 9 victory
Tue, Nov 10, 2026, 10:28 PM
Moreau didn't log any targets or touches Sunday in a 44-22 win against the Chargers.
Analysis: For the second straight week, Moreau didn't make a mark in the box score. He did technically draw a target (which he didn't catch), but it was wiped out by an accepted defensive penalty. Moreau hasn't had more than two catches in any game this season and has finished with fewer than 10 yards in every contest since Week 3, so he's not a viable fantasy play in virtually any format right now. |
Dare Ogunbowale Dare Ogunbowale Log one catch in win Sunday
Tue, Nov 10, 2026, 10:20 PM
Ogunbowale caught his only target for a three-yard gain Sunday in a 44-22 win over the Chargers.
Analysis: Ogunbowale continued to play a minor role in Houston's offense with just eight offensive snaps. He did, however, record his first touch of the campaign with a three-yard reception in the third quarter. Ogunbowale hasn't been asked to do much despite David Montgomery (groin) being sidelined since Week 5, and with Montgomery potentially getting close to a return, Ogunbowale's role on game days may soon disappear altogether. |
Emari Demercado Emari Demercado Six rushes in debut with Houston
Mon, Nov 9, 2026, 8:26 PM
Demercado rushed six times for 16 yards and caught one of two targets for eight yards during Sunday's 44-22 win over the Chargers.
Analysis: Demercado was claimed off waivers by the Texans on Oct. 28, and he made his team debut in Week 9 after the team was off in Week 8. The running back finished second on the team in carries behind Woody Marks (18), and he could operate as the team's No. 2 option in the backfield again in Week 10 versus Cleveland if David Montgomery (groin) remains sidelined. |
|
David Montgomery David Montgomery Could return to practice soon
Mon, Nov 9, 2026, 2:45 PM
Coach DeMeco Ryans said Monday he's hopeful that Montgomery (groin) resumes practicing this week, or next week, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Analysis: Montgomery last saw game action in Week 5, but at this stage he appears to be inching closer to a return, with Ryans adding Monday that he's pleased with the veteran back's progress. In Montgomery's absence, Woody Marks has served as the Texans' clear-cut RB1, but once Montgomery is back, Houston's backfield timeshare figures to be restored. |
Ka'imi Fairbairn Ka'imi Fairbairn Converts three FGAs in win
Sun, Nov 8, 2026, 9:59 PM
Fairbairn went 3-for-3 on field-goal tries and made all five of his PATs during Sunday's 44-22 win over the Chargers.
Analysis: Fairbairn was able to convert multiple field-goal attempts for the fifth straight game. The kicker made a 56-yarder in the first quarter before later adding makes from 31 and 41 yards in the fourth quarter. On the season, Fairbairn has gone 18-for-19 on field-goal tries, including 7-for-8 from 50-plus yards, over eight contests so far. |

Woody Marks Woody Marks Logs 19 more touches in Week 9
Sun, Nov 8, 2026, 9:22 PM
Marks turned 18 carries into 70 yards and hauled in just one of four targets for four yards during Sunday's 44-22 road win over the Chargers.
Analysis: Marks acted as the Texans' primary running back for a fourth straight game, three of which David Montgomery has missed completely due to a groin injury. During that stretch, Marks has racked up 75 touches for 321 yards from scrimmage, but he has yet to reach the end zone since Week 4. Montgomery wasn't able to practice this week, so Marks may be in line for another role as Houston's No. 1 backfield option next Sunday at Cleveland if the former doesn't make the requisite progress in his recovery. |
Dalton Schultz Dalton Schultz Two grabs in Week 9 win
Sun, Nov 8, 2026, 9:11 PM
Schultz caught two of four targets for 42 yards in Sunday's 44-22 win over the Chargers.
Analysis: Not counting his 12-140-0 receiving explosion in Week 2 when Nico Collins was out with a hamstring injury, Schultz has mustered 23 grabs for 244 yards and no touchdowns across his seven other appearances. He's failed to reach 50 receiving yards in any of those contests and is merely a TE2 in fantasy. |
|
Marvin Harrison Jr. Marvin Harrison Jr. Two catches during blowout win
Sun, Nov 8, 2026, 8:38 PM
Harrison caught two of three targets for 20 yards during Sunday's 44-22 win over the Chargers.
Analysis: Harrison ranked seventh on the team in targets, and although C.J. Stroud connected with four different wide receivers for five total touchdowns, Harrison was not one of them. Harrison has now reeled in six of 11 targets for 60 yards and a score over three contests with the Texans, and he will remain hard to trust from a fantasy perspective in Week 10 versus Cleveland. |
|
Tank Dell Tank Dell First touchdown since 2024
Sun, Nov 8, 2026, 8:14 PM
Dell turned a team-high nine targets into four catches for 105 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's 44-22 road victory against the Chargers
Analysis: In his second appearance since returning from a brutal left knee injury suffered in December 2024, Dell again recorded a reception of 40-plus yards, connecting with C.J. Stroud for a 63-yard TD in the second quarter. It was one of five touchdown passes for Stroud, who spread the ball around to nine different pass catchers and four that reached the end zone at least once. Dell will aim to build on the momentum next Sunday at Cleveland. |
