Scottie Phillips - Not eligible to play until Week 14 Phillips (ankle) won't return from injured reserve ahead of Sunday's game against the Jets, Brooks Kubena of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Impact Since Phillips was placed on injured reserve Nov. 9, he won't even be eligible to practice until at least Nov. 30, making the Texans' Week 14 game against the Seahawks his earliest possible return date. Once healthy, Phillips will find himself in a less-crowded backfield after the Texans waived Phillip Lindsay on Tuesday.

Eric Murray - Thrives in return to starting role Murray had 11 tackles and one pass defensed in Houston's 22-13 win over Tennessee in Week 11.
Impact Murray returned to a starting role last week after the Texans moved Lonnie Johnson from safety to cornerback. He was on the field for 94 percent of the defensive snaps and has played well recently, totaling 19 tackles, two passes defensed and one interception over the last two games. He was originally a starter at safety to start the season but got lost in the shuffle as defensive coordinator Lovie Smith searched for the right combination on the back end. It appears Murray and Justin Reid may be the most effective partners on the back end.

Kamu Grugier-Hill - First pick a biggie Grugier-Hill had 12 tackles and an interception in a 22-13 win over the Titans in Week 11.
Impact The interception came on the game's opening drive with Tennessee threatening in the red zone. As documented by Brooks Kubena of the Houston Chronicle, Grugier-Hill saw Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill fixated on A.J. Brown and stepped in front of the pass at the Houston 12-yard line, returning it 82 yards. A potential Titans lead turned into a Texans lead three plays later when Ka'imi Fairbairn booted a field goal. It was the first interception of the season for Grugier-Hill, who also had two passes defensed and helped hound Tannehill into throwing four picks on the day.

Ka'imi Fairbairn - Misses extra point Fairbairn made all three of his field-goal attempts but missed one of two extra-point tries in Sunday's 22-13 win over the Titans.
Impact Fairbairn split the uprights from 43, 24 and 37 yards on his field goals, helping him reach double-digit points despite his misfired PAT. After that season-best tally, Fairbairn will strive to keep his scoring touch in Week 12 versus the Jets.

Texans Release RB Phillip Lindsay Houston Texans running back Phillip Lindsay was released by the team on Tuesday.
NOVEMBER 23, 2021 • NESN.COM
Phillip Lindsay - Time in Houston ending The Texans plan to waive Lindsay on Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of Sportstalk 790 Houston reports.
Impact Expect the team to formally announce the transaction later Tuesday. Even with Houston moving lead back Mark Ingram to New Orleans prior to the trade deadline earlier this month, Lindsay hadn't seen an uptick in work out of the Houston backfield, as both David Johnson and Rex Burkhead had slotted ahead of him in the pecking order. Lindsay didn't help his case for earning more work by averaging a lowly 2.6 yards per carry on 50 totes while making a negligible impact in the passing game. Some shaky offensive line play undoubtedly contributed to Lindsay's struggles, so expect the 27-year-old to generate a fair amount of interest from other teams once he hits the waiver wire. In his prior three seasons with Denver, Lindsay averaged a healthy 4.8 yards per carry and showcased more ability as a pass catcher.
