Expects to move to IR Brooks is expected to be placed on Houston's injured reserve list as he deals with a knee injury, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Impact The knee issue that he picked up during Sunday's game versus the Bills is apparently a serious one, and it looks like Brooks will have to miss at least four games as he recovers. He's made most of his contributions this year on special teams, so the Texans will need to try to find a way to replace his production in that phase in the meantime

Makes first appearance on offense Brooks had one carry for two yards in Sunday's 34-7 loss to Minnesota.
Impact Brooks made his debut on offense after serving on special teams the first two weeks. With Houston's top two backs inactive, there was a chance Brooks would appear on offense, and once the game became a blowout, his appearance became a lock. Brooks and J.J. Taylor, up from the practice squad, each saw mop-up action Sunday.

Survives roster cuts Brooks made the Texans initial 53-man roster.
Impact Brooks, an undrafted free agent out of North Carolina, was a longshot to make the roster and was one of the surprises on cutdown day. Houston cut all three of the fullbacks and kept Brooks, who had a two-touchdown game against the Giants in preseason Week 2. What may have earned him a spot, per Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle is when he pancaked a Rams defensive lineman, knocking him on his backside, during the final preseason game. It's unclear how the Texans plan to use Brooks.
