HOUSTON TEXANS NEWS

Denico Autry - Unavailable for practice Autry (knee) did not participate at the Texans' practice Wednesday.

Impact Autry recorded four total tackles (three solo), including 1.0 sacks, while also adding a pass defensed in the team's win over the Cowboys on Monday Night Football. He may have picked up a knee injury in the process and his status at practice the rest of the week is worth monitoring ahead of Sunday's matchup with Tennessee.

Azeez Al-Shaair - Limited at practice Al-Shaair (knee) was a limited participant at the Texans' practice Wednesday.

Impact Al-Shaair dealt with a knee injury throughout October, which forced him to miss three games during that month, but he's since played in Houston's last two contests. The linebacker will still have two more chances to increase his workload at practice this week before the team faces the Titans on Sunday.

Folorunso Fatukasi - Estimated as DNP Fatukasi (foot) was listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's practice estimation.

Impact Fatukasi was sidelined for the Texans' Week 11 win over the Cowboys on Monday night after sustaining a foot injury the week prior, and Wednesday's estimated DNP suggests he could be in jeopardy of missing even more time. If the veteran defensive lineman cannot upgrade to at least limited participation either Thursday or Friday, he'll likely miss Houston's divisional matchup against the Titans in Week 12.

Will Anderson Jr. - Still nursing injury Anderson (ankle) was listed as a limited participant on Wednesday's practice estimation.

Impact Anderson has missed each of the Texans' last two games after sustaining an ankle injury in the Week 9 win loss to the Jets, and Wednesday's estimated limited session could be an indication that he's nearing a return to the field. The 2023 Defensive Rookie of the Year's practice participation Thursday and Friday will likely offer the best insight into whether he can play in Sunday's divisional matchup against the Titans.

Derek Stingley Jr. - Estimated as limited Stingley (hip) was listed as a limited participant on Wednesday's practice estimation.

Impact The Texans' top cornerback played though a hip issue in Houston's Week 11 win over the Cowboys, recording two total tackles and two passes defended, including one interception, across 69 defensive snaps. This suggests that Stingley's estimated limited session Wednesday is likely precautionary, and he'll likely be ready for Sunday's matchup against the Titans unless he downgrades to no participation Thursday or Friday.

Kamari Lassiter - Full go for Wednesday Lassiter (concussion) was listed as a full participant on Wednesday's practice estimation.

Impact The rookie corner from Georgia was sidelined for the Texans' Week 11 win over the Cowboys on Monday night after sustaining a concussion the week prior. Wednesday's estimated full session suggests that Lassiter is nearly past his concussion; however, he must still pass through the NFL's five-step protocol in order to play in the Week 12 matchup against the Titans.

Jalen Pitre - Forces key fumble in win Pitre recorded nine tackles (four solo) and a forced fumble during Monday's 34-10 win at Dallas.

Impact Pitre came flying from the defensive backfield on a chaotic play early in the fourth quarter, smashing into left tackle Tyler Guyton as he tried to advance a Cooper Rush fumble. Guyton then became the second Dallas player to fumble that down, allowing defensive lineman Derek Barnett to scoop up the ball and rumble 28 yards into the end zone to make the score 27-10. Pitre is on the fringe of IDP consideration in some formats for a Week 12 tilt versus the Titans.

Danielle Hunter - Gets pair of sacks Monday Hunter recorded three tackles (three solo) including 2.0 sacks and a pass defensed during Monday's 34-10 win at Dallas.

Impact Hunter had an even greater impact on the Texans' win in Week 11 than the box score would suggest, as he was able to turn the corner on right tackle Terence Steele time and time again Monday. He now has six sacks over his last six games and will look to keep up that pace in Week 12 versus the Titans.

Derek Stingley Jr. - Pick leads to points Stingley recorded two tackles, an interception and two passes defensed in Monday's 34-10 win over Dallas in Week 11.

Impact Stingley halted a Dallas drive on the Houston side of the field with his second pick of the season and first since Week 2. The Texans were able to capitalize on the turnover, turning it into a Joe Mixon touchdown plunge. In addition to his two interceptions, Stingley has 36 tackles and 12 passes defensed over 11 games played.

Derek Barnett - Scores on fumble return Barnett had one tackle, 1.0 sacks, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery for a touchdown in Monday's 34-10 win over Dallas in Week 11.

Impact On a night when defensive end Will Anderson (ankle) was inactive, Barnett made an impact while filling the void. All of his activity came on one crazy play that proved to be the turning point in the game. Barnett stripped-sacked Cooper Rush. The ensuing fumble was recovered by Dallas offensive lineman Tyler Guyton, who attempted to advance the ball but had it dislodged from his grasp by Jalen Pitre. Re-enter Barnett, who scooped up the fumble on the bounce and went 28 yards untouched for a touchdown that made it a three-score game early in the fourth quarter. The sack was Barnett's third of the season and the TD his first since his rookie season in 2017, when as a member of the Eagles he returned a fumble for a score.

Ka'imi Fairbairn - Ten points in win Fairbairn converted both field-goal attempts and all four extra-point kicks in Monday's 34-10 win over the Cowboys in Week 11.

Impact Fairbairn made chip shots from 33 and 29 yards to improve to an 84-percent (26 of 31) success rate for the season. That's pretty good, considering how many he attempts from beyond the 50, but it's below what has been his norm the last two seasons. Fairbairn connected on 95 percent (56 of 59) of his kicks in 2022 and 2023 combined. Monday's 10 points was his eighth double-digit effort in 11 games and put him over the 100-point mark for the season.

Cade Stover - Two touches in win Stover caught both of his targets for 15 yards in Monday's 34-10 win over Dallas in Week 11.

Impact Stover had multiple catches for just the third time in 11 games, but a positive note is that he was given his second red-zone look in the last three weeks. While his playing time has increased since the season-ending injury to Brevin Jordan (knee), Stover remains firmly behind Dalton Schultz. The rookie tight end has 10 receptions on 15 targets for 102 yards through 11 games.

Xavier Hutchinson - Untargeted in win Hutchinson was not targeted while playing 28 snaps in Monday's 34-10 win over the Cowboys in Week 11.

Impact Nico Collins' return to duty had its most significant impact on Hutchinson's workload. The second-year wideout played 67 percent of the offensive snaps while Collins was out the last five weeks. That dropped to 44 percent (28 snaps) Monday, and he went untargeted for the first time in seven games. For now, John Metchie has emerged as the most viable third wideout in the absence of Stefon Diggs (IR, knee).

1 DAY AGO • ROTOWIRE

John Metchie III - Three targets in win Metchie caught all three targets for 33 yards in Monday's 34-10 win over Dallas in Week 11.

Impact Nico Collins finally returned from a hamstring injury, giving quarterback C.J. Stroud another target option. The QB's attention to Metchie took a hit, but the receiver appears to have emerged as the third wide receiver behind Collins and Tank Dell. Metchie (39 snaps) was on the field more than Xavier Hutchinson (28) or Robert Woods (20) and has 11 receptions on 15 targets for 136 yards and one touchdown the last four weeks. The playing time could take a hit in the coming weeks as the Texans feel more comfortable about giving Collins more than the 30 snaps he had Monday.

1 DAY AGO • ROTOWIRE

Robert Woods - Two catches in win Woods caught both of his targets for 13 yards in Monday's 34-10 win over the Cowboys in Week 11. He also returned one kickoff for 21 yards.

Impact Woods continued a depth role in which he carves out a couple of targets per game, although his snap count took a slight hit with the return of Nico Collins. Since injuries to wideouts started popping up Week 6, Woods has seen an uptick in activity. After he missed two game as part of the injury wave, Woods has seven receptions on 10 targets for 76 yards the last four games.
