Davion Davis - Not on injury report Davis (illness) is not listed on Wednesday's injury report.
Impact Davis missed Week 12 against the Jets due to a non-COVID illness, but he's on track to be available for Sunday's divisional matchup against the Colts. The depth wideout has yet to suit up for any games since signing with the Texans on Oct. 5.

Chris Conley - Doesn't practice Wednesday Conley (illness) was listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's practice estimate.
Impact The Texans didn't hold a formal practice, but Conley wouldn't have participated had the team done so. The veteran wide receiver has been receiving ample playing time, but it hasn't translated to much production up to this point. Along with Conley, fellow pass-catchers Brandin Cooks (illness) and Danny Amendola (knee) were also non-participants.

Zach Cunningham - Another solid performance Cunningham totaled eight tackles (six solo) in Sunday's 21-14 loss to the Jets.
Impact Cunningham has now recorded eight-plus tackles in his last three contests, giving him 67 total tackles on the year. The 26-year-old is now only one tackle behind Kamu Grugier-Hill for the team lead. The linebacker is in for a tough test Sunday as he faces the best statistical running back this season, Jonathan Taylor, however, this matchup provides more tackling opportunities for Cunningham.

Tavierre Thomas - First career INT Thomas totaled four tackles (three solo) along with one interception in the 21-14 loss to the Jets on Sunday.
Impact Thomas recorded his first career interception, as he picked off Zach Wilson late in the first quarter, setting up a Texans touchdown. Despite the 25-year-old's good performance Sunday, he should not be rostered in any IDP leagues due to minimal playing time and production.

David Johnson - Listed as DNP on practice estimate Johnson (illness/thigh) was listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's practice estimate.
Impact Brooks Kubena of the Houston Chronicle notes that the Texans elected not to hold a practice Wednesday with several players (including Johnson) under the weather. Per Aaron Wilson of Sportstalk 790 Houston, the running back visited the medical tent this past Sunday against the Jets after limping off the field, but he was able to return to the game. We'll operate under the assumption that Johnson's listed thigh issue is related to that. A return to practice in any capacity Thursday would put him on track to play this weekend against the Colts.

Brandin Cooks - Bothered by illness Cooks is dealing with an illness and wouldn't have participated Wednesday if the Texans had practiced.
Impact Houston's Wednesday injury report is an estimate, with fellow wide receivers Chris Conley (illness) and Danny Amendola (knee) joining Cooks on the non-participant list. Cooks and Conley, at least, should stand a good chance at returning to health before Sunday's game against the Colts.

Justin Reid - Will play Week 13 Coach David Culley said Wednesday that Reid will suit up for Sunday's game against the Colts, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Reid was inactive Week 12 for disciplinary reasons, but Culley said Wednesday, "We're moving on." The 2018 third-round pick has regularly handled more than 90 percent of defensive snaps through nine appearances this season, and it looks like he'll return to his normal starting role versus Indianapolis on Sunday.

Danny Amendola - Sustains knee injury Amendola suffered a knee injury during Week 12's loss to the Jets and could miss up to four weeks, Brooks Kubena of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Impact Amendola underwent a scope of the knee Tuesday, and the Texans await the results. This will be the second time in 2021 that the 36-year-old slot receiver misses significant time. He was unavailable for four games early this season due to a hamstring injury. Despite missing those games, Amendola currently ranks tied for third on the Texans with 29 targets, which means others will fill that void. Brandin Cooks could receive more looks, but he's already well established as the team's No 1. Further down the depth chart, rookie Nico Collins, who's averaged 4.2 targets over six games since returning from his own injury, could see additional targets. Houston also has veterans Chris Conley and Chris Moore rostered. Moore was signed to the active roster after Amendola's first injury and remained on the roster since. He may be the primary fill-in at slot receiver.
DECEMBER 1, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Royce Freeman - Gets work on special teams Freeman was active for Week 12's loss to the Jets and played five snaps on special teams.
Impact Freeman made his Houston debut after being claimed off waivers from Carolina early in November. He was added to the active roster after the Texans waived Phillip Lindsay during the week leading up to the game against the Jets. It would normally be a spot for Scottie Phillips (ankle), but he's on injured reserve. The 25-year-old Freeman served as the third back behind veterans Rex Burkhead and David Johnson. As the youngest back on the active roster for a team that's 2-9, Freeman could work his way into the rotation if the Texans are serious about developing younger players. That movement began at wide receiver (Nico Collins) and tight end (Brevin Jordan), so it would be natural to see what Freeman and the 24-year-old Phillips can bring over the final six games.
