DNP with knee injury
Wed, Oct 21, 2026, 7:39 PM
Al-Shaair (knee) did not participate in Wednesday's practice.
Analysis: Al-Shaair briefly exited the Texans' Week 6 win over the Jaguars in London, but the hiatus was to be evaluated for a concussion. There was no indication during the game, but the linebacker likely sustained the knee injury in the London victory. It remains to be seen if Wednesday's absence was partially vet rest or if the defensive signal caller is dealing with a more serious issue that could keep him out of the Week 7 game against the Giants. |

Considered week-to-week
Wed, Oct 21, 2026, 6:49 PM
Pitre (shoulder) did not participate at the Texans' practice Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Analysis: Pitre suffered a shoulder injury in Week 5 versus the Titans, and he was forced to miss the team's Week 6 victory over Jacksonville as a result. The 27-year-old is still considered week-to-week according to head coach DeMeco Ryans, and he seems unlikely to be available for Sunday's matchup with the Giants. Pitre will have two more chances to return to practice this week, but if he can't go in Week 7, Tremon Smith would likely operate in a more prominent role again in Houston's secondary. |
Dalton Schultz Dalton Schultz Sidelined Wednesday with quad issue
Wed, Oct 21, 2026, 4:29 PM
Schultz didn't practice Wednesday due to a quadriceps injury.
Analysis: Schultz is making his first appearance of the season on the injury report after he apparently got banged up during this past Sunday's 34-31 win over the Jaguars in London. The Texans haven't yet indicated that Schultz's availability for this weekend's game versus the Giants is in any peril, but he'll need to resume practicing in some fashion over the next two days to assuage fantasy managers' concerns about his health. |
David Montgomery David Montgomery Still sidelined at practice
Wed, Oct 21, 2026, 1:11 PM
Montgomery (groin) isn't practicing Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Analysis: Still seemingly being viewed as week-to-week after he failed to practice in any fashion last week before sitting out the Texans' win over the Jaguars in London, Montgomery appears to be trending toward another absence this weekend against the Giants. If Montgomery ends up missing another contest, Woody Marks would be in line for another turn as Houston's lead back, with Dare Ogunbowale and practice-squad member Deuce Vaughn operating as depth options. |

Logs first interception
Tue, Oct 20, 2026, 9:05 PM
Bullock tallied five tackles (three solo) and an interception during Houston's win over the Jaguars on Sunday.
Analysis: Bullock had a strong outing in the win, logging the Texans' lone interception of Trevor Lawrence. The 23-year-old has now logged 26 tackles (17 solo) and an interception across six games to start the season. |

Recovering from surgery
Tue, Oct 20, 2026, 7:04 PM
Hummel is still recovering from abdominal-groin surgery, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Analysis: Hummel was placed on injured reserve in late September, and his groin injury was severe enough for him to require a procedure. He's already missed the four-game minimum required while on IR, but it sounds like Hummel still has a lengthy rehab timeline ahead of him. The Texans should provide another health update for the Iowa State product following the Week 8 bye. |
Xavier Hutchinson Xavier Hutchinson Serves as returner vs. Jacksonville
Mon, Oct 19, 2026, 9:48 PM
Hutchinson caught two of three passes for 10 yards and returned two kickoffs for 52 yards during the Texans' 34-31 win over the Jaguars on Sunday in London.
Analysis: Hutchinson's 34 offensive snaps were more than what he logged in each of the Texans' three games prior to Week 6, although he logged season lows in catches, receiving yards and targets. He was used as a kick returner for the first time since Week 18 of the 2024 season. That could be Hutchinson's primary role moving forward, seeing as Houston acquired Marvin Harrison from Arizona along with the impending return of Tank Dell (knee) from injured reserve. The Texans will head back home for Week 7 to host the Giants on Oct. 25. |
Jawhar Jordan Jawhar Jordan Returns to Texans' practice squad
Mon, Oct 19, 2026, 8:34 PM
Jordan reverted to Houston's practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Analysis: Jordan played 14 of the Texans' 63 offensive snaps in their 34-31 win over the Jaguars in London in Week 6, taking 6 carries for 43 yards and a touchdown and catching his only target for another seven yards. With regular starter David Montgomery (groin) out, Jordan proved an effective change of pace behind 2025 fourth-rounder Woody Marks. If Montgomery is out again in Week 7 versus the Giants, Jordan could be in line for another significant role come Sunday. |
Ka'imi Fairbairn Ka'imi Fairbairn Hero in London
Mon, Oct 19, 2026, 8:03 PM
Fairbairn made both of his two field-goal tries and converted all four of his extra-point attempts in a 34-31 win against the Jaguars in London in Week 6.
Analysis: Fairbairn hit a 49-yard field goal dead center between the uprights as time expired to win the Texans their second game of the 2026 season, and he was also perfect otherwise, improving on what was already a good start to the season. He looks as accurate as ever, and Houston's offense has been quite effective of late, averaging 30 points scored over its last three contests. He projects as a very good fantasy option for Week 7, as he'll be kicking indoors in a matchup versus the Giants. |
Tank Dell Tank Dell On track for season debut Week 7
Mon, Oct 19, 2026, 2:45 PM
Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans said Monday that Dell (knee) is on track to return from injured reserve to make his season debut in Week 7 versus the Giants, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Analysis: Dell will be making his first appearance since Dec. 21, 2024, when he sustained a severe left knee injury that included a dislocated kneecap and damage to multiple ligaments. Through his first two seasons in the NFL, Dell had emerged as a key complementary option behind No. 1 wideout Nico Collins, but the Texans are likely tempering expectations for the 26-year-old coming off a nearly two-year layoff. Dell, who was cleared to resume practicing Oct. 7 and was a full participant throughout Week 6 prep, is expected to be in line for a light snap count in his 2026 debut. |
Kayshon Boutte Kayshon Boutte Sees season-low snap share in win
Mon, Oct 19, 2026, 1:26 PM
Boutte finished with two receptions for 16 yards on three targets in Sunday's 34-31 win over the Jaguars in London.
Analysis: Though the newly acquired Marvin Harrison was limited to just 12 snaps in his Texans debut, his presence may have been enough for Boutte to see a notable role reduction in Week 6. Boutte took the field for 26 of the Texans' 63 snaps, with his 41.3 percent share representing a season-low rate and placing him fourth among Houston receivers. Harrison is likely to see his snaps pick up once he gains a full grasp of his new playbook, and Boutte could end up being a casualty from a playing-time standpoint. |

Dalton Schultz Dalton Schultz Snags four passes in win
Sun, Oct 18, 2026, 10:23 PM
Schultz caught four of six targets for 33 yards in Sunday's 34-31 win over the Jaguars.
Analysis: Schultz actually led the team with his six targets, but C.J. Stroud spread the ball around to 10 different pass catchers on a day he attempted 34 passes. Schultz has been held to 35 yards or fewer in five of six games this season and has yet to visit the end zone. He's a low-floor, low-ceiling fantasy bet ahead of next Sunday's date with the Giants. |

Jawhar Jordan Jawhar Jordan Finds end zone in win over Jags
Sun, Oct 18, 2026, 8:07 PM
Jordan rushed six times for 43 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-31 win over the Jaguars. He added one catch for seven yards on one target.
Analysis: With David Montgomery (groin) out, Jordan was called up from the practice squad for Sunday's game and logged 14 offensive snaps behind Woody Marks' 49 out of the backfield. Jordan's big play was a 25-yard touchdown scamper in the third quarter that gave Houston a 31-21 lead. Montgomery is considered week-to-week, so Jordan could again play a significant role behind Marks next Sunday against the Giants. |
Foster Moreau Foster Moreau Pair of TDs in London victory
Sun, Oct 18, 2026, 7:49 PM
Moreau caught both of his targets for seven yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 34-31 win over the Jaguars in London.
Analysis: Moreau made the most of his two opportunities, securing a pair of red-zone scores from one and six yards. Three of Moreau's 11 grabs this season have resulted in red-zone touchdowns. He can mostly be ignored in fantasy football while Dalton Schultz is healthy. |
Jaylin Noel Jaylin Noel Records 100-plus yards, TD in Week 6
Sun, Oct 18, 2026, 4:18 PM
Noel gathered in all four targets for 107 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's 34-31 win against the Jaguars in London.
Analysis: Noel has made much of his mark on special teams through five games this season, including two kick returns for 65 yards and one punt return for two yards in Week 6. However, he reached the end zone for a second consecutive game on a 13-yard connection with QB C.J. Stroud, and Noel's receiving-yardage total easily bested his previous career high of 85 yards, which he managed in Week 4 against the Cowboys. Nico Collins remains the top dog in the Texans' receiving corps, and Marvin Harrison just showed up from Arizona via trade, but Noel appears to have built a nice rapport with Stroud as his second season has gone on. |
Woody Marks Woody Marks Leads backfield with 81 scrimmage yards
Sun, Oct 18, 2026, 12:25 PM
Marks carried the ball 15 times for 56 yards and caught two of three targets for 25 yards in Sunday's 34-31 win over the Jaguars.
Analysis: With David Montgomery (groin) inactive, Marks led the Texans backfield in touches and scrimmage yards, but practice-squad elevation Jawhar Jordan arguably made a bigger splash with 43 rushing yards and a touchdown on just six carries. Jordan showed some upside late last season when pressed into duty as well, so even if Montgomery's absence continues, Marks could see his workload shrink. Marks will take on the Giants in Week 7. |
Marvin Harrison Jr. Marvin Harrison Jr. Three catches in Houston debut
Sun, Oct 18, 2026, 12:20 PM
Harrison caught three of four targets for 34 yards in Sunday's 34-31 win over the Jaguars.
Analysis: Making his Texans debut, Harrison wasn't especially productive on his own, but quarterback C.J. Stroud seemed to benefit from his presence and spread the ball around to 10 different pass catchers. The three grabs still tied Harrison's season high, giving him something to build on as he looks to put his disappointing Cardinals tenure behind him. The two former Ohio State teammates will look to re-buiild their chemistry further in Week 7 against the Giants. |
C.J. Stroud C.J. Stroud Tosses three TDs in big divisional win
Sun, Oct 18, 2026, 12:17 PM
Stroud completed 24 of 34 passes for 312 yards and three touchdowns with one interception in Sunday's 34-31 win over the Jaguars. He added five yards on his only carry.
Analysis: With Marvin Harrison making his Texans debut, Stroud spread the ball around to 10 different pass catchers as he set a new season high in TD passes and topped 300 yards for the third time in six games. The QB did throw his first INT of the season at a potentially crucial time, getting picked off by Travis Hunter in the end zone in the fourth quarter, but Stroud made up for it by putting together a game-winning field goal drive as time expired on his next possession. He'll take a 9:1 TD:INT into a Week 7 clash with the Giants. |
Nico Collins Nico Collins Held to three grabs in Week 6 win
Sun, Oct 18, 2026, 12:08 PM
Collins caught three of five targets for 74 yards in Sunday's 34-31 win over the Jaguars. He added five yards on his only carry.
Analysis: C.J. Stroud spread the ball around to 10 different pass catchers, and Jaylin Noel wound up being the most productive of the bunch with a 4-107-1 line. Collins still hit for a 42-yard gain on his first catch of the day, helping to set up a Foster Moreau TD in the first quarter. Collins has topped 70 receiving yards in three of his four games this season, compiling a 22-323-3 line on 30 targets. He'll take on an injury-thinned Giants secondary at home in Week 7. |

Ruled out with concussion
Sun, Oct 18, 2026, 10:33 AM
Blankenship (concussion) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Jaguars in London.
Analysis: Blankenship was deemed to have a concussion by one of the NFL's independent neurologists. The safety has now entered the league's five-step concussion protocol and will not participate in full-contact practices or games until he is cleared. M.J. Stewart will likely finish the game at strong safety alongside Calen Bullock. |
