Christian Harris - Good to go Saturday Harris (ankle) is active for Saturday's Week 16 clash against Kansas City.
Impact Harris popped up on Houston's injury report Thursday when he didn't practice due to an ankle issue after having no designation for each of the first two sessions of the week. Despite the ominous late addition, the third-year linebacker will be able to take the field in Saturday's big AFC battle. Harris made his season debut last Sunday versus Miami following recovery from a calf injury and played 82 percent of the Texans' defensive snaps, recording eight tackles (four solo).

Jared Wayne - Elevated Friday Wayne was elevated to the Texans' active roster Friday.
Impact Wayne made his NFL regular-season debut in the Texans' Week 13 win over the Jaguars, failing to record a stat over 31 total snaps (16 offensive and 15 on special teams). He's been added to the active roster again ahead of Week 16 with John Metchie (shoulder) ruled out for Saturday's matchup against the Chiefs. Wayne is likely to serve as a depth piece in Houston's wide receiver room Saturday.

Juice Scruggs - Sidelined for Week 16 Scruggs (foot) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against Kansas City.
Impact Scruggs will miss his third straight game due to a foot injury he sustained in Week 13 against the Jaguars. His next opportunity to play will be Christmas Day against the Chiefs. Tytus Howard will continue to start at left guard due to Scruggs' injury.

Folorunso Fatukasi - Won't play against Kansas City Fatukasi (ankle) did not practice Thursday and has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Chiefs.
Impact Fatukasi injured his ankle during the first half of the Texans' 20-12 win over the Dolphins this past Sunday. The injury prevented him from participating in practice all week, and his next opportunity to play will be Christmas Day against the Ravens. Tim Settle, Mario Edwards and Tommy Togiai will all see increased snaps at defensive tackle Saturday due to Fatukasi's injury.
1 DAY AGO • ROTOWIRE
Cade Stover - Ruled out for Week 16 Stover (appendix) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Texans.
Impact Stover will be sidelined for a second straight game after undergoing an emergency appendectomy this past Saturday. It's unclear whether he'll be able to progress in his recovery enough to play against the Ravens on Christmas Day. With no other healthy tight end on the active roster outside of starter Dalton Schultz, the Texans will likely elevate Irv Smith from the practice squad ahead of Saturday's game due to Stover's injury.
1 DAY AGO • ROTOWIRE
John Metchie III - Won't play Saturday vs. Kansas City Metchie (shoulder) did not practice Thursday and has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Chiefs.
Impact Metchie was unable to practice all week due to a shoulder injury he suffered against the Dolphins this past Sunday. With Metchie ruled out for Saturday's game, his next opportunity to play will be Christmas Day against the Ravens. Robert Woods and Xavier Hutchinson are the top candidates to serve as the Texans' No. 3 wide receiver behind Nico Collins and Tank Dell on Saturday due to Metchie's injury.

Christian Harris - Pops up on Thursday's injury report Harris did not practice Thursday due to an ankle injury and is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Chiefs.
Impact Harris had been sidelined for Houston's first 13 games of the regular season due to a calf injury. He made his 2024 regular-season debut against the Dolphins this past Sunday and finished with eight tackles (four solo). However, Harris made an appearance on Thursday's injury report, indicating that he may have injured his ankle during practice. That puts his status for Saturday's game in doubt, and whether he plays may not be known until approximately 90 minutes before the 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff when the Texans announce their list of inactive players.

Joe Mixon - Cleared for Saturday's game Mixon (ankle) doesn't have an injury designation for Saturday's game at Kansas City.
Impact The Texans listed Mixon as a limited practice participant Tuesday through Thursday, following his brief exit from a 20-12 win over Miami on Sunday. He returned to the game and finished with 17 touches for 56 yards, playing 64 percent of snaps on offense after four straight games at 75 percent or higher. Mixon will face a tough defense Saturday and comes with slightly more workload/injury risk than usual, but he nonetheless profiles as a strong fantasy starter, averaging 107.9 total yards and 1.1 TDs in 11 games this year.
