Rex Burkhead - Resumes practicing Burkhead (hip) is working as a limited participant at Wednesday's practice.
Impact Burkhead is practicing for the first time since suffering a hip injury that kept him sidelined Week 4. When healthy this season, the veteran running back has only handled a depth role, so he won't be on the fantasy radar in most formats even if back in action for Sunday's game against the Colts.

Nico Collins - Officially designated for return The Texans designated Collins (shoulder) to return from injured reserve Wednesday.
Impact The transaction opens a 21-day window for Collins to resume participating in practice, with the wideout eligible to rejoin the 53-man roster at any point during that time. The shoulder injury kept the rookie third-round pick sidelined for the past three games, but once active, he should push Chris Conley for work at the perimeter receiver spot opposite No. 1 wideout Brandin Cooks.

Kansas City Chiefs tumble down Nick Wright's Week 6 NFL tiers ... for now
For the first time this season, a team other than his beloved Chiefs is alone atop Nick Wright's NFL tiers. Here's the list.OCTOBER 13, 2021
Nico Collins - On track to practice Collins (shoulder) is expected to return to practice this week, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Per Drew Dougherty of the Texans' official site, Collins, who remains on injured reserve is on track to practice in a limited fashion this week. Before he's able to rejoin the Texans for practice in any capacity, the team will have to designate him to return from IR. Unless the wideout upgrades to full activity by the end of the week, he's unlikely to be formally added to the 53-man roster in advance of Sunday's game against the Colts.

Tyrod Taylor - Not ready this week Coach David Culley noted Wednesday that Taylor (hamstring) is making good progress, but remains week-to-week, Drew Dougherty of the Texans' official site reports.
Impact Though Taylor isn't in line to be activated from IR this week, Culley indicated that when the veteran QB does return to the mix, he'll reclaim his starting assignment. For now though, Davis Mills will continue to helm the Texans offense this Sunday versus the Colts.

Laremy Tunsil - Having surgery Thursday Tunsil (thumb) is set to undergo surgery Thursday, Brooks Kubena of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Impact Tunsil said he plans to play through a torn UCL in his left thumb, but he will only have two days to recover from his procedure before Sunday's road matchup against Indianapolis. In the event that Tunsil were forced to miss any time, Geron Christian would likely slot in at left tackle.

Jonathan Greenard - Records second sack Greenard had three tackles, two for a loss, and a sack in Week 5's 25-22 loss to the Patriots.
Impact Greenard recorded his second sack in three games played this season. The 2020 third-round pick worked as an outside linebacker in Houston's 3-4 defense during his rookie year, but he's moved to defensive end in Lovie Smith's 4-3 alignment. Through three games, he has seven tackles, two sacks and a forced fumble.

Chris Moore - Gets permanent roster spot The Texans signed Moore off their practice squad Tuesday.
Impact Previously elevated from the practice squad ahead of the team's Week 5 loss to the Patriots, Moore was immediately thrust into a regular spot in Houston's three-receiver sets alongside Brandin Cooks and Chris Conley. The 28-year-old made quite an impression in only his second game with Houston, finishing with five receptions for 109 yards and a touchdown on five targets. The breakout performance should be enough to keep Moore involved in the game plan Sunday in Indianapolis, but he may end up seeing a smaller share of the snaps if slot specialist Danny Amendola (thigh) is cleared to return from a three-game absence.
