Dameon Pierce - Another missed practice Pierce (groin) remained sidelined at practice Thursday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Impact After also missing Wednesday session, Pierce now has one more chance to practice ahead of Sunday night's game against the Lions. In the event that Pierce remains sidelined for a second straight game this weekend, Dare Ogunbowale and J.J. Taylor would be in line continue to work in complementary roles behind lead back Joe Mixon.

Nico Collins - Still not practicing Collins (hamstring) wasn't spotted at practice Thursday, DJ Bien-Aime of ESPN.com reports.
Impact With Collins not yet designated to return from IR as of Thursday, the chances of him being available Sunday night against the Lions don't seem strong. If Collins remains sidelined in Week 10, Tank Dell will continue to lead a Houston WR corps that also includes Xavier Hutchinson, Robert Wood and John Metchie.

Texans vs. Lions Injury Report – Week 10, 2024
See who's in and who's out for the Week 10 matchup between the Detroit Lions and Houston Texans on November 10, 2024.NOVEMBER 6 • DATA SKRIVE
Jake Hansen - Logs limited session Wednesday Hansen (ankle) practiced in a limited fashion Wednesday.
Impact It appears the Illinois product picked up an ankle injury in the Texans' Week 9 loss to the Jets, despite playing 18 special-teams snaps. Hansen's participation in practice Thursday and Friday will likely be the best indicator of whether he can play through the pain in Sunday's matchup against the Lions.
NOVEMBER 6 • ROTOWIRE
Folorunso Fatukasi - Opens week as DNP Fatukasi (groin) didn't practice Wednesday.
Impact Fatukasi played 30 defensive snaps and recorded two total tackles in the Texans' Week 9 loss to the Jets, but it now appears he picked up a groin injury in the process. The veteran defensive tackle could be in jeopardy of missing Sunday's matchup against the Lions if he's unable to practice in a limited fashion either Thursday or Friday.
NOVEMBER 6 • ROTOWIRE
Jimmie Ward - Limited Wednesday Ward (groin) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.
Impact Ward has missed four consecutive games due to a groin injury; however, Wednesday's limited practice session could be an indication that he's almost past the issue. If the 11th-year pro can suit up for Week 10's matchup against the Lions, he'll likely serve as the Texans' top free safety.
NOVEMBER 6 • ROTOWIRE
Jarrett Patterson - Full go for Wednesday Patterson (concussion) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.
Impact Patterson didn't play in Houston's Week 9 loss to the Jets due to a concussion sustained the week prior, but Wednesday's full practice indicates that he's almost past the issue. The second-year pro must still pass through the NFL's five-step concussion protocol in order to suit up for the Texans' Week 10 matchup against the Lions.

Will Anderson Jr. - Logs DNP on Wednesday Anderson (ankle) didn't practice Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Impact Anderson sustained an ankle injury in the Texans' Week 9 loss to the Jets, and Wednesday's DNP suggests the issue could be serious. The 2023 Defensive Rookie of the Year likely needs to upgrade to at least limited participation Thursday or Friday in order to suit up for Houston's Week 10 matchup against the Lions. If Anderson is unable to do so, expect Derek Barnett to see additional work with the Texans' first-team defense.

Dameon Pierce - Misses Wednesday's practice Pierce (groin) didn't practice Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Impact Pierce was also listed as a non-participant last week before being ruled out for this past Thursday's loss to the Jets. With another absence Wednesday, the running back's status for Sunday's game against the Lions remains cloudy. If Pierce remains sidelined this weekend, Dare Ogunbowale and J.J. Taylor would continue to see complementary snaps in Week 10 behind top back Joe Mixon.
NOVEMBER 6 • ROTOWIRE
Nico Collins - Not practicing Wednesday Collins (hamstring) didn't practice Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Impact Collins, who was placed on IR on Oct.9, has missed four straight games and is thus eligible to return to practice as soon as this week. Per Wilson, Collins hasn't experienced any setbacks with his hamstring injury, with the wideout having reportedly regained his speed and mobility in the process. However, with Collins not having resumed practice as of Wednesday, it remains to be seen if he'll be activated ahead of Sunday's game against the Lions.

Kenyon Green - Set to be placed on IR Green (shoulder) is expected to be placed on injured reserve in the near future, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Impact Green suffered a separated shoulder in Thursday's 21-13 loss to the Jets, which will sideline him for the foreseeable future. The offensive guard does have a chance at making a return late in the season though depending on how well he progresses in rehab according to Rapoport. In the meantime, Kendrick Green will likely take over at left guard for Houston.
