Ruled out Sunday
Thu, Oct 15, 2026, 7:20 PM
Pitre (shoulder) is ruled out for Sunday's game against Jacksonville.
Analysis: Pitre suffered a shoulder injury in Sunday's game versus the Titans. While he won't be placed on injured reserve, he will at least miss the Week 6 meeting with the Jaguars in London. |

Manages full practice Thursday
Thu, Oct 15, 2026, 6:59 PM
To'oTo'o (shoulder) was a full participant at practice Thursday.
Analysis: To'oTo'o has been on IR for the Texans' last four games after sustaining a shoulder injury back in Week 1 versus the Bills, but it now seems like he's close to being back to full strength. He still needs to be officially activated from Houston's injured reserve list before he'll be able to return to game action. |
Tank Dell Tank Dell Won't debut in Week 6
Thu, Oct 15, 2026, 4:43 PM
The Texans ruled out Dell (knee) for Sunday's game against the Jaguars in London.
Analysis: Currently in the midst of his second week of practicing with the Texans after having his 21-day evaluation window opened Oct. 7, Dell has taken a notable step forward in his recovery from a severe left knee injury by turning in back-to-back full sessions Wednesday and Thursday. Though the Texans won't bring him back from injured reserve for the London game, Dell stands a strong chance of being activated ahead of the team's Oct. 25 matchup with the Giants and seeing his first game action since December 2024 if he can continue to practice without restrictions next week. |
David Montgomery David Montgomery Ruled out for London game
Thu, Oct 15, 2026, 4:34 PM
The Texans ruled Montgomery (groin) out for Sunday's game against the Jaguars in London.
Analysis: After making an early exit from the Texans' Week 5 win over the Titans due to the groin injury, Montgomery was unable to practice in any capacity Wednesday or Thursday. He'll stay behind in Houston while the Texans make the trip overseas and will set his sights on a return to action Week 7 against the Giants. With Montgomery set to miss his first game of the season, Woody Marks should be in store for a sizable workload once again after handling 19 touches and playing 56 of 66 offensive snaps in Week 5. |

David Montgomery David Montgomery Remains sidelined for practice
Thu, Oct 15, 2026, 4:20 PM
Montgomery (groin) didn't practice Thursday.
Analysis: Since being labeled week-to-week by head coach DeMeco Ryans on Monday, Montgomery has sat out the Texans' ensuing two practices. Unless he's able to take part in Friday's practice in some fashion, Montgomery will likely be officially ruled out for Sunday's game against the Jaguars in London. Woody Marks looks poised to handle a workhorse role out of the backfield Week 6 with Montgomery expected to be inactive for the first time this season. |
|
Returns to practice
Wed, Oct 14, 2026, 8:04 PM
The Texans opened Ingram's (elbow) 21-day return window from injured reserve Wednesday.
Analysis: Ingram was a limited participant in his return to practice. The Texans have until Nov. 4 to move the cornerback to the active roster, or else he will spend the remainder of the 2026 season on injured reserve. |
|
Coming off IR
Wed, Oct 14, 2026, 7:46 PM
The Texans activated Smith (foot) from their injured reserve list Wednesday.
Analysis: Smith has missed the first five games of the season because of a foot injury he suffered during a practice back in August, but he's now in line to return to action in Week 6. He projects to start at right tackle against the Jaguars in London. |

Tank Dell Tank Dell Upgrades to full practice
Wed, Oct 14, 2026, 6:32 PM
Dell (knee) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.
Analysis: Last Wednesday, the Texans opened Dell's 21-day evaluation window, with the receiver proceeding to turn in two limited practices while sitting out another. He's now taken a step forward in his second week of practice, turning in a full session for the first time since he sustained a multi-ligament left knee injury back on Dec. 21, 2024. The Texans will likely want to see Dell turn in additional full practices before reinstating him from injured reserve, but he could have a shot at making his 2026 debut as soon as Sunday against the Jaguars in London if all goes well over the next few days. Once he's reinstated, Dell will be vying with the newly acquired Marvin Harrison as well as Kayshon Boutte, Xavier Hutchinson and Jaylin Noel for playing time behind No. 1 wideout Nico Collins. |
|
Back at practice Wednesday
Wed, Oct 14, 2026, 5:11 PM
The Texans designated To'oTo'o (shoulder) for return from injured reserve Wednesday.
Analysis: The linebacker was a limited participant in his return to practice Wednesday, after a shoulder injury had kept him out for the Texans' previous four games. Houston will have 21 days to activate To'oTo'o from injured reserve, but he could be a candidate to return to the 53-man roster for this Sunday's game against the Jaguars in London if he's able to upgrade to full practice participation by the end of the week. |
Marvin Harrison Jr. Marvin Harrison Jr. Will make Texans debut Sunday
Wed, Oct 14, 2026, 2:40 PM
Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans confirmed Wednesday that Harrison will make his team debut Sunday versus the Jaguars in London, Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Analysis: Harrison was inactive for the Cardinals' Week 5 loss to the Lions before he was officially traded Monday to the Texans along with a 2027 sixth-round pick in exchange for 2027 second- and seventh-round picks. After passing his physical, Harrison took the field Wednesday for his first practice with the Texans. Houston may limit Harrison's snaps to some degree in Week 6, but once he fully absorbs his new playbook, he could make a push for the No. 2 spot on the depth chart at receiver behind Nico Collins. |

David Montgomery David Montgomery Sitting out Wednesday's practice
Wed, Oct 14, 2026, 1:04 PM
Montgomery (groin) isn't practicing Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Analysis: Montgomery made an early exit from the Texans' Week 5 win at Tennessee due to a groin injury, which head coach DeMeco Ryans since has called a "week-to-week" concern for the running back, per Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle. As a result, Montgomery's lack of activity Wednesday isn't a surprise, and Houston ultimately could make a ruling on his availability for Sunday's game in Jacksonville when it posts its final practice report of the week Friday. Woody Marks is lined up to lead the backfield for as long as Montgomery is sidelined. |

Dealing with sprained AC joint
Tue, Oct 13, 2026, 7:45 PM
Pitre will not need surgery and will not need to be placed on injured reserve as a result of the shoulder injury he suffered during Sunday's game at Tennessee, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Analysis: Pitre was wearing a sling after leaving Sunday's contest early, but it looks like he avoided a season-ending injury. Per Wilson, Pitre is considered week-to-week as the Texans gear up for a contest against the Jaguars in London in Week 6. It would be pretty surprising if he didn't at least sit out that game as he recovers, but he hasn't been officially ruled out yet. |
Woody Marks Woody Marks Lead role awaits sans Montgomery
Tue, Oct 13, 2026, 10:30 AM
Marks is expected to handle a lead role out of the backfield during Sunday's game against the Jaguars in London after Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans announced Monday that fellow running back David Montgomery (groin) is viewed as week-to-week, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Analysis: Montgomery logged just nine snaps in the Texans' 26-3 win over the Titans in Week 5 before departing with the injury, which cleared the way for Marks to see his heftiest workload of the season. The second-year player out of USC ended up taking the field for 56 of 66 snaps, finishing with 62 yards on 15 carries to go with four catches for 23 yards on four targets. With Montgomery on track to miss at least the London game and potentially additional contests beyond that, Marks should have a decent chance at replicating his Week 5 touch count. Beyond Marks, Dare Ogunbowale is the only other healthy running back on the 53-man roster, while Jawhar Jordan and Deuce Vaughn loom as potential candidates to be elevated from the practice squad to add depth to the position group amid Montgomery's expected absence. |
Kayshon Boutte Kayshon Boutte Three catches in blowout win
Mon, Oct 12, 2026, 8:42 PM
Boutte caught three of five targets for 38 yards during Sunday's 26-3 win over the Titans.
Analysis: Boutte finished tied with fellow wide receivers Xavier Hutchinson and Jaylin Noel for second on the team in targets, and his 38 receiving yards set a new season high for him. With Houston acquiring Marvin Harrison from the Cardinals on Sunday, it's unclear how the wide receiver room will be organized moving forward. On the season, Boutte has caught 12 of 18 targets for 153 yards over five contests. |

Considered week-to-week
Mon, Oct 12, 2026, 11:42 AM
Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans said Monday that Pitre is "week-to-week" due to a left shoulder injury that he sustained in Sunday's 26-3 win over the Titans, Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Analysis: Pitre appeared to go down with the injury early in the fourth quarter and was spotted with his shoulder in a sling following the game. Though the Texans haven't officially ruled him out for next Sunday's contest against the Jaguars in London, the week-to-week label suggests that Pitre will most likely sit out that contest. Rookie fifth-round selection Kamari Ramsey saw an uptick in defensive snaps following Pitre's exit, and the former could operate as the Texans' slot corner in Week 6. |

David Montgomery David Montgomery Considered week-to-week
Mon, Oct 12, 2026, 11:33 AM
Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans said Monday that Montgomery (groin) is considered week-to-week, Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Analysis: Montgomery exited Sunday's 26-3 win over the Titans midway through the second quarter due to the groin injury and was unable to return. Based on Ryans' comments a day later, Montgomery looks to be trending toward missing his first game of the season in Week 6, when the Texans travel to London to face the Jaguars on Sunday. Montgomery's expected absence this coming weekend should clear the way for Woody Marks to take on a lead role out of the Houston backfield, with Dare Ogunbowale and practice-squad members Jawhar Jordan and Deuce Vaughn representing candidates to handle depth roles. Since scoring three touchdowns on 23 touches in a Week 1 loss to the Bills, Montgomery has failed to find the end zone while being limited to 78 yards on 32 carries (2.4 average) and four catches for 48 yards over the Texans' subsequent four contests. |
Ka'imi Fairbairn Ka'imi Fairbairn Busy day in Nashville
Mon, Oct 12, 2026, 9:21 AM
Fairbairn converted on all six of his kicks (four field goals, two extra points) during the Texans' 26-3 win over the Titans on Sunday.
Analysis: Fairbairn got the Texans on the board with a 45-yard field goal late in the first quarter before making each of his next three field goals in the second, which ended with a 53-yard kick. His four made field goals were his most since Week 18 of the 2025 season against the Colts (six), and Fairbarin has gone 7-for-7 on field-goal attempts and 5-for-5 on extra-point tries over Houston's last two games. The Texans will cross the pond for a Week 6 AFC South showdown against the Jaguars on Oct. 18 in London. |
Dalton Schultz Dalton Schultz Three snags in win
Sun, Oct 11, 2026, 11:27 PM
Schultz caught three of four targets for 30 yards during Sunday's 26-3 win over the Titans.
Analysis: Schultz has now caught three or fewer passes while failing to exceed 30 receiving yards in three straight contests. The tight end has garnered just nine targets since Week 2 after he caught 16 of 22 targets for 175 yards over the first two weeks of the season. Schultz may have a tough time getting back on track against the Jaguars' impressive defense in Week 6. |
Xavier Hutchinson Xavier Hutchinson Four catches in win
Sun, Oct 11, 2026, 11:08 PM
Hutchinson caught four of five targets for 65 yards in Sunday's 26-3 win over the Titans.
Analysis: Hutchinson led the team in receiving yards while his four catches were tied for second with running back Woody Marks. The wide receiver has now reeled in 16 of 31 targets for 231 yards over the first five games of the season. The Texans announced that they traded for wide receiver Marvin Harrison on Sunday, and the addition of Harrison will definitely lower Hutchinson's upside as a fantasy asset moving forward. |
Jaylin Noel Jaylin Noel Five catches, scores TD in victory
Sun, Oct 11, 2026, 8:20 PM
Noel caught all five of his targets for 41 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 26-3 win over Tennessee.
Analysis: Noel led the team in catches in the victory, most notably reeling in a nine-yard touchdown pass from C.J. Stroud in the fourth quarter. The wide receiver has now caught 13 of 17 targets for 227 yards and a touchdown over five contests to open the 2026 campaign. With Houston trading for wideout Marvin Harrison on Sunday, it's unclear if Noel will continue to see the same amount of opportunities moving forward. |
