Activated from IR
Sat, Nov 14, 2026, 1:27 PM
The Texans activated Hummel (groin) from injured reserve Saturday.
Analysis: Hummel was designated to return from injured reserve Wednesday, and he drew the questionable tag for Week 10 after logging full practices both Thursday and Friday. He's still considered questionable for Sunday's game against the Browns, but the fact that Hummel was activated from IR indicates that he's on track to play. His return would give Houston another contributor on special teams and extra depth at linebacker. |

Working through illness, iffy for Week 10
Sat, Nov 14, 2026, 1:25 PM
Smith is now questionable for Sunday's game against the Browns due to an illness.
Analysis: Smith's late addition to the Texans' injury report isn't a good sign, and his availability for Sunday's game is now in doubt. His potential absence would reduce Houston's depth on the offensive line. |
Dare Ogunbowale Dare Ogunbowale Signs with Houston's PS and elevated
Sat, Nov 14, 2026, 1:10 PM
The Texans signed Ogunbowale to the practice squad before elevating him to the active roster Saturday.
Analysis: Ogunbowale was released by the Texans on Thursday after appearing in each of the team's five prior games. He's opted to stay in Houston as a member of the practice squad, and his elevation to the active roster comes after David Montgomery (groin) was ruled out for Sunday's game against the Browns. Ogunbowale and Emari Demercado will provide backfield depth for the Texans behind RB1 Woody Marks for Week 10. |

Pushing to play vs. Cleveland
Sat, Nov 14, 2026, 12:33 PM
Anderson (ankle), who is listed as questionable, is planning to suit up Sunday against the Browns, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Analysis: Whether Anderson suits up Sunday will ultimately be decided by how his ankle responds to tests during pregame warmups. The fourth-year pass rusher leads the NFL 9.5 sacks through eight regular-season games, but it's possible that the Texans could be without both of their starting pass rushers, given that Danielle Hunter (hamstring) has already been ruled out. |
Woody Marks Woody Marks Will once again serve as RB1
Sat, Nov 14, 2026, 12:27 PM
Marks will be the Texans' lead back against the Browns on Sunday after David Montgomery (groin) was ruled out for that contest.
Analysis: Montgomery was initially tagged as questionable for Week 10 after logging a full practice Friday, but the veteran running back will end up missing a fourth straight game due to a groin injury. That means Marks will once again operate as Houston's RB1 while Emari Demercado and Dare Ogunbowale -- the latter of whom was signed to the practice squad and elevated to the active roster Saturday -- provide backfield depth. Marks has logged at least 15 carries in each of his last four outings, and over that span, he has turned 67 carries into 254 yards (3.8 YPC) and added eight catches on 12 targets for 67 yards. He has not found the end zone since Week 4 against the Cowboys. |
David Montgomery David Montgomery Won't play against Cleveland
Sat, Nov 14, 2026, 12:18 PM
Montgomery (groin) has been downgraded from questionable to out for Sunday's game against the Browns.
Analysis: Montgomery drew the questionable tag for Week 10 after logging a full practice Friday. However, the veteran running back has not progressed enough in his recovery from a groin injury to return for Sunday's contest, which will mark his fourth consecutive absence. With Montgomery sidelined, Woody Marks will once again serve as the Texans' RB1 while Emari Demercado provides backfield depth. Montgomery's next chance to play is Week 11 against the Colts on Thursday. |

Won't play Sunday
Fri, Nov 13, 2026, 8:08 PM
Rutledge (neck) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Browns.
Analysis: Rutledge did not participate in any Week 10 prep for the Texans. The rookie offensive guard will not suit up for Sunday's contest, leaving Wyatt Teller (illness) or Evan Brown to start at left guard in a game with massive potential playoff implications for both the Texans and the Browns. |
|
Clears concussion protocol
Fri, Nov 13, 2026, 5:47 PM
Blankenship (concussion/hand) does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Browns.
Analysis: Blankenship ended Week 10 prep with back-to-back full practices, and he's progressed enough through the league's concussion protocol to be cleared to play Sunday. He is also working through a left hand injury that required surgery in October, but that won't prevent him from playing against Cleveland. Blankenship's return means M.J. Stewart will revert to a rotational role in the secondary. |
|
Might not play against Cleveland
Fri, Nov 13, 2026, 5:43 PM
Anderson (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Browns.
Analysis: Anderson was added to Thursday's practice report as a limited participant due to an ankle injury. He was held out of Friday's session, but that may have been a precautionary measure to prevent an injury aggravation. Danielle Hunter (hamstring) already has been ruled out, so the Texans would have to rely on Jadeveon Clowney, Dominique Robinson and Sabastian Harsh as the top defensive ends if Anderson cannot play Sunday. |
|
Not available for Week 10
Fri, Nov 13, 2026, 5:40 PM
Hunter (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Browns.
Analysis: Hunter popped up on Thursday's practice report as a limited participant due to a hamstring injury. He was unable to practice Friday, and the injury is severe enough for him to miss his first game of the 2026 regular season. The Texans could also be without fellow star edge rusher Will Anderson (ankle), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game despite also sitting out of Friday's practice. Jadeveon Clowney, Dominique Robinson and Sabastian Harsh will all see more defensive snaps in the absence of Hunter, whose next chance to play is Week 11 against Indianapolis on Thursday. |
Brevin Jordan Brevin Jordan Ruled out for Week 10
Fri, Nov 13, 2026, 5:36 PM
Jordan (finger) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Browns.
Analysis: Jordan was unable to practice all week while tending to a finger injury, and his absence Sunday means Foster Moreau, Marlin Klein and Cade Stover are all in line for more snaps on offense behind starting tight end Dalton Schultz. Jordan's next chance to play is Week 11 against the Colts on Thursday. |

Won't play against Cleveland
Fri, Nov 13, 2026, 5:32 PM
Al-Shaair (groin/personal) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Browns.
Analysis: Al-Shaair was held out of practice all week due to a groin injury and a personal matter, although it's unclear which issue is the bigger reason why the veteran linebacker will be sidelined for Sunday's road contest. Wade Woodaz and Jake Hummel (groin) -- the latter of whom is on injured reserve -- are the top candidates to start alongside Henry To'oTo'o and Jake Hansen at linebacker. Al-Shaair's next chance to play is Week 11 against the Colts on Thursday. |
Tank Dell Tank Dell Cleared for Sunday
Fri, Nov 13, 2026, 4:53 PM
Dell (hand) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Browns, while teammate Marvin Harrison (hamstring) has been ruled out.
Analysis: Last week, Dell caught four passes for 104 yards and a TD in a 44-22 win over the Chargers, leading Houston in targets (nine) in his second game back from a lengthy absence. His snap share (45 percent) and route share (55 percent) were less encouraging, but Dell and Kayshon Boutte are candidates for more playing time with Harrison out for at least one week. |
Nikko Remigio Nikko Remigio New opportunity with Houston
Fri, Nov 13, 2026, 4:17 PM
The Texans claimed Remigio off waivers from the Chiefs on Thursday.
Analysis: Remigio appeared in each of the Chiefs' first eight games of the regular season before being cut by the team Tuesday. He predominantly served on special teams as a returner on kickoffs and punts with Kansas City, and he figures to reprise that role in Houston, although he'll be competing for that role with Tremon Smith, Tank Dell, Woody Marks and Xavier Hutchinson. |
Marvin Harrison Jr. Marvin Harrison Jr. Ruled out for Sunday's game
Fri, Nov 13, 2026, 3:13 PM
Harrison (hamstring) is ruled out for Sunday's game against the Browns.
Analysis: Harrison's absence leaves more snaps for some combination of Xavier Hutchinson, Kayshon Boutte and Tank Dell, all of whom were productive last week in a win over the Chargers. C.J. Stroud has been spreading the ball around and putting up big numbers in the process, with even Nico Collins seeing his target share suffer as a result. Harrison is unlikely to handle a full-time role even when he gets back to full strength. |

Woody Marks Woody Marks Cleared to play Sunday
Fri, Nov 13, 2026, 3:10 PM
Following a full practice Friday, Marks (knee) doesn't carry an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Browns.
Analysis: After experiencing knee discomfort Wednesday and not practicing Thursday due to lingering soreness from hits, per Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston, Marks worked fully to close the practice week and heads into the weekend without any availability concerns. Marks has seen the bulk of Houston's backfield work of late, but he may have some competition for carries Sunday, as David Montgomery (groin) -- who hasn't played since Week 5 -- practiced fully Friday and is listed as questionable to face Cleveland. |

David Montgomery David Montgomery Questionable for Sunday's game
Fri, Nov 13, 2026, 3:08 PM
Montgomery (groin) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Browns, while Woody Marks (knee) doesn't have an injury designation.
Analysis: Montgomery returned to practice Thursday after missing a month, and he upgraded from limited participation to full for Friday's practice. It's still not clear he'll be active ahead of the 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff Sunday, so Marks could be tasked with a heavy workload for a fifth straight game. If Montgomery does return, he'll likely share work with Marks, making it difficult to trust either Houston RB in fantasy lineups. |

Marvin Harrison Jr. Marvin Harrison Jr. Not seen at Friday's practice
Fri, Nov 13, 2026, 11:28 AM
Harrison (hamstring) wasn't spotted during the portion of Friday's practice open to the media, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Analysis: Harrison also missed Thursday's session, so the WR's apparent absence Friday doesn't bode well for his chances of playing Sunday against the Browns. If Harrison ends up out this weekend, Xavier Hutchinson, Tank Dell and Kayshon Boutte would be available to handle WR targets that don't go to top option Nico Collins. |

David Montgomery David Montgomery Practices again Friday
Fri, Nov 13, 2026, 11:04 AM
Montgomery (groin) practiced for a second straight day Friday after missing the past month, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Analysis: Woody Marks (knee) is also practicing Friday, after sitting out Thursday. At this point, it isn't clear if either or both will be available Sunday at Cleveland. Montgomery is coming back from an injury that's kept him out for more than a month, while Marks is dealing with something that seems to be more recent but less severe. |
|
Woody Marks Woody Marks Back at practice Friday
Fri, Nov 13, 2026, 10:56 AM
Marks (knee) was back at practice Friday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Analysis: After sitting out Thursday's practice, Marks' return to the field Friday is a positive sign for his chances of being available Sunday against the Browns. David Montgomery (groin) is also practicing Friday, following a limited session Thursday, but it isn't yet clear if he'll be ready in time for Sunday's matchup with the Browns. |
