Kamu Grugier-Hill - Not playing Week 3 Grugier-Hill (knee) is inactive for Thursday's game versus the Panthers.
Impact After appearing on Monday's practice estimate as limited with a knee injury, Grugier-Hill didn't make it onto the field at all Tuesday and Wednesday, which may have swayed the Texans' decision to keep him in street clothes on a short week. Look for Joe Thomas to take on a larger share of LB snaps in Grugier-Hill's absence.

Justin Reid - Sidelined Thursday Reid (knee) is listed as inactive Thursday against the Panthers.
Impact Reid emerged from Week 2 with a knee injury, which didn't allow him to practice Tuesday or Wednesday. The short week may have played a part in the Texans' decision to scratch Reid, but his absence likely will allow fellow safety Lonnie Johnson to step into the starting lineup next to Eric Murray.
SEPTEMBER 23, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Anthony Miller - Suiting up Thursday Miller is active for Thursday's game against the Panthers.
Impact With Danny Amendola (thigh) sidelined, there's an opportunity for Miller to earn snaps in the slot in his first action for the Texans. Miller has been a healthy scratch for the first two games of the season, but he'll also be on the receiving end of passes from third-round rookie Davis Mills, so it remains to be seen what kind of chemistry the two may have.

Jeff Driskel - Added to active roster Driskel has been officially elevated to the Texans' active roster from the team's practice squad.
Impact With Tyrod Taylor (hamstring) on IR and Deshaun Watson (not injury-related) set to be inactive, rookie QB Davis Mills is slated to start Thursday night's game against the Panthers. Meanwhile, Driskel will serve as the team's No. 2 signal-caller for the contest.
SEPTEMBER 23, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Chris Moore - Promoted before TNF Moore was elevated from the practice squad ahead of Thursday's game against the Panthers.
Impact If he's active, Moore will work as a depth target for rookie quarterback Davis Mills in Mills' first NFL start. Moore has 61 games of NFL experience under his belt, all with Baltimore. The 28-year-old wide receiver totaled 47 catches for 511 yards and four touchdowns over the course of five seasons with the Ravens.
SEPTEMBER 23, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Joey Slye - Signed to Houston's roster The Texans signed Slye to their 53-man roster ahead of Thursday's game against the Panthers.
Impact Houston elevated Slye to the 53-man roster for the third time this season Wednesday, but his signing Thursday suggests he won't be immediately sent back to the practice squad following the matchup with Carolina. Even so, whether Slye remains Houston's kicker for the Week 4 game in Buffalo may hinge on the health of Ka'imi Fairbairn (leg). After opening the season on injured reserve, Fairbairn is first eligible to return Week 4, though it's unclear if he's made enough progress in his recovery at this point to take back kicking duties for Houston.
