Blake Fisher - In concussion protocols Fisher (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Cowboys.
Impact Fisher opened the week with a limited practice Wednesday due to a concussion, but the issue evidently has gotten worse as he wasn't able to practice Thursday and Friday. He'll look to work through the league's five-step protocols and aim to return for Week 12 against the Titans on Sunday, Nov. 24.

Kamari Lassiter - Questionable for Week 11 Lassiter (concussion) was limited in Saturday's practice and is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Cowboys.
Impact Lassiter opened the week with consecutive DNPs due to a concussion he suffered in Week 10 against the Lions. Given his limited participation Saturday, it seems unlikely he'll clear the league's five-step concussion protocols in time to suit up Monday. If Lassiter is indeed ruled out, Ka'dar Hollman could be the Texans' second starting corner opposite Derek Stingley.

Folorunso Fatukasi - Ruled out for Week 11 Fatukasi (foot) has been ruled out for Monday's game against Dallas.
Impact Fatukasi injured his foot during the Texans' Week 10 loss to the Lions, which has been severe enough for him to miss practice all week. The 2018 sixth-round pick will work on making his return for Week 11 against Tennessee on Sunday, Nov. 24. Kurt Hinish will join Tim Settle as the Texans' starting defensive tackles Sunday in Fatukasi's absence.

Will Anderson Jr. - Won't play Monday Anderson (ankle) did not practice Saturday and has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Cowboys.
Impact Anderson has not practiced since injuring his left ankle in Week 9 against the Jets. His next chance to play will be against the Titans on Sunday, Nov. 24. With Anderson sidelined Monday, Derek Barnett and Denico Autry will continue to see increased snaps at defensive end alongside starter Danielle Hunter.

Derek Stingley Jr. - Good to go for Monday night Stingley (hip) doesn't carry an injury designation into Monday night's game against the Cowboys and is expected to play.
Impact After logging a DNP on Thursday, Stingley upgraded to limited Friday and full practice on Saturday. The Texans' star corner has yet to miss a game this season and has logged 100 percent of the defensive snaps in eight of 10 contests, including four straight. On the year, Stingley has 34 tackles (25 solo) and one interception.

Dameon Pierce - All set for Monday Pierce (groin) does not carry an injury designation ahead of Monday's contest against the Cowboys.
Impact This was to be expected after Pierce practiced fully Friday. The backup running back will be poised to retain his role behind one of the better backs in the NFL this year, Joe Mixon.
4 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE
Will Anderson Jr. - Likely out Monday Anderson, who sat out Friday's practice due to an ankle injury, is considered unlikely to play Week 11 at Dallas on Monday night, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Impact If this news holds, Anderson will miss a second straight game, but he is not candidate for injured reserve. Wilson reports his recovery from a high-ankle sprain is going well. The Texans hope he can return within the next few weeks in preparation for the stretch run in December. A host of depth defensive linemen replaced Anderson in last week's loss to the Lions.

Texans WR Nico Collins expects to return Monday night against Cowboys after 5-game absence
Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins expects to play Monday night against the Dallas Cowboys after he missed five games with a hamstring injury5 DAYS AGO • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Derek Stingley Jr. - Returns to practice Friday Stingley (hip) was a limited participant in Friday's practice.
Impact Stingley opened the week as a DNP on Thursday due to a hip issue, but he was able to return for Friday's practice, albeit in a limited capacity. If he's able to practice in full Saturday, he'll avoid an injury designation heading into Monday night's game against the Cowboys. Stingley has played every single defensive snap during the Texans' last four regular-season games, and over that span he has logged 15 tackles (10 solo) and five pass defenses.

Nico Collins - Gets back to full Friday Collins (hamstring) practiced fully Friday.
Impact The Texans designated Collins for return from injured reserve last Friday, and the wide receiver was limited in the ensuing session, listed as questionable and activated Saturday. He then was inactive this past Sunday against the Lions, setting up Week 11 as his first possible game action since injuring his right hamstring Sunday, Oct. 6 versus the Bills. Collins followed up Thursday's limited session with full participation one day later, putting him on such a path. He relayed to Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston on Friday, "I feel like myself. It was hard on my mental." Collins also looked like normal self on the practice field, per Wilson, so he should be good for close to the workload of 10.8 targets per game from his four healthy appearances this season.
5 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE
Dameon Pierce - Upgrades to full participation Pierce (groin) was a full participant in practice Friday.
Impact Pierce's full participation Friday suggests he's finally over the groin injury that sidelined him for Houston's past two games. Barring a setback, Pierce is likely to avoid an injury designation on Saturday's injury report, which would put him in line to reclaim the backup role behind Joe Mixon against the Cowboys on Monday Night Football.

Derek Stingley Jr. - Dealing with hip injury Stingley (hip) was listed as a DNP on Thursday's injury report, DJ Bien-Aime of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Stingley played all 62 defensive snaps during the Texans' Week 10 loss to the Lions and finished the game with two tackles (one solo) and one pass defense. However, it appears he may have picked up a hip injury in the process, which prevented him from practicing Thursday. Stingley will have two more chances to increase his practice participation this week ahead of Monday's game against the Cowboys.

Kamari Lassiter - Remains in concussion protocols Lassiter (concussion) was listed as a DNP on Thursday's injury report, DJ Bien-Aime of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Lassiter was diagnosed with a concussion during Houston's Week 10 loss to Detroit, which prevented him from practicing Thursday. Even if Lassiter was able to return to practice over the next two days, that doesn't guarantee he will be able to pass through the league's five-step concussion protocols in time to play against Dallas on Monday. Ka'dar Hollman saw increased snaps on defense in Week 10 following Lassiter's exit, and the former finished with four solo tackles across 25 defensive snaps.
6 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE
Folorunso Fatukasi - DNP on Thursday Fatukasi (foot) did not practice Thursday, DJ Bien-Aime of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Fatukasi was knocked out of Sunday's game against the Lions due to a foot injury. He'll have two more chances to return to practice ahead of Monday night's game against Dallas. If Fatukasi is unable to play, Kurt Hinish would likely start at defensive tackle Monday alongside Tim Settle.
6 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE
Will Anderson Jr. - Doesn't practice Thursday Anderson (ankle) was listed as a DNP on Thursday's injury report, DJ Bien-Aime of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Anderson has been unable to practice since injuring his ankle during the Texans' Week 9 loss to the Jets. The 2023 first-round pick will have two more chances this week to practice in at least a limited capacity to give himself a shot at playing Monday against the Cowboys. Denico Autry and Derek Barnett will continue to see increased reps on defensive alongside Danielle Hunter for as long as Anderson is sidelined.
6 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE
Nico Collins - Logs limited practice Thursday Collins (hamstring) was a limited practice participant Thursday.
Impact Collins, who the Texans had placed on injured reserve Oct. 9, was designated to return from IR this past Friday and then logged one limited practice ahead of Sunday night's loss to the Lions, a game that he was inactive for. With the wideout poised to practice all week ahead of Monday night's contest against the Cowboys, he's trending toward seeing his first game action since Oct. 6, when he suffered a pulled hamstring versus the Bills. Now that Collins has moved past his injury, he's in line to reclaim his high-volume role as the top option in a Houston wideout corps that also features Tank Dell, with Xavier Hutchinson, John Metchie and Robert Woods also in the mix. In the five games he's played in this season, Collins has put up a 32/567/3 receiving line on 45 targets.
