INJURIES

Denico Autry - Will suit up in wild-card round Autry (knee) is active for Saturday's wild-card matchup against the Chargers.
Impact Autry missed Houston's regular-season finale due to a knee injury and began this week by sitting out practice. However, he upgraded to a limited session Wednesday before logging a full practice Friday and is good to go for the wild-card game against Los Angeles. When healthy this season, Autry has mostly served in a rotational role, coming off the bench in eight of his 10 contests.

Christian Harris - Set to suit up Saturday Harris (ankle) is not among Houston's inactives for Saturday's wild-card contest versus the Chargers.
Impact Harris has been dealing with an ankle injury for the past three weeks and didn't play in the regular-season finale versus Tennessee. However, he was able to log a pair of full practices to end this week, setting him up to return to action Saturday. With Harris active and likely to start, Neville Hewitt may see less snaps on defense against Los Angeles.
JANUARY 11 • ROTOWIRE
John Metchie III - Active Saturday Metchie (shoulder) is listed as active for Saturday's wild-card game against the Chargers.
Impact Metchie got a concussion check last Sunday at Tennessee, but a shoulder injury ultimately didn't allow him to practice Tuesday before progressing to limited Wednesday and a full session Thursday. Despite receiving a questionable tag for the Texans' playoff opener, he'll be available to the Texans offense Saturday. Since fellow WR Tank Dell (torn ACL) joined Stefon Diggs (torn ACL) as out for the season Week 16, Metchie produced a 7-72-0 line on 12 targets over the final two games of the regular season.
JANUARY 11 • ROTOWIRE
Teagan Quitoriano - Downgraded to out Quitoriano (calf) has been downgraded to out for Saturday's AFC wild-card game against the Chargers.
Impact Quitoriano, who missed the final five games of the regular season, was designated for return during the practice week leading up to Saturday's playoff game. With Quitoriano unavailable, Cade Stover and Irv Smith will operate as the backups to starting tight end Dalton Schultz.

Nick's Wild Card Picks: Steelers cover, Bills win, Rams upset Vikings in Arizona | What's Wright?

JANUARY 10 • FOX SPORTS
Jake Hansen - Good to go for Saturday Hansen (ankle) doesn't carry an injury designation into Saturday's wild card playoff game against the Chargers, DJ Bien-Aime of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Hansen was injured in the Week 18 regular-season finale against the Titans and missed the remainder of the contest. He upgraded from DNP on Tuesday to limited Wednesday and then full Thursday, avoiding a designation altogether. Mainly a special-teams asset, Hansen played just 134 defensive snaps during the regular season.
JANUARY 10 • ROTOWIRE
Shaq Mason - Out for playoff opener Mason (knee) has been ruled out for Saturday's wild-card playoff game against the Chargers, DJ Bien-Aime of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Mason was injured four snaps into the Texans' Week 16 loss to the Chiefs and missed the final two games of the regular season. He'll now start the playoffs on the shelf. Juice Scruggs started at right guard in Mason's place in Week 18, with Jarret Patterson at center.

JANUARY 9 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Teagan Quitoriano - Questionable for wild-card game Quitoriano (calf) is listed as questionable for Saturday's AFC wild-card game against the Chargers, DJ Bien-Aime of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Quitoriano missed the Texans' last five games of the regular season due to a calf injury he suffered against the Titans in Week 12. He was designated to return from injured reserve Tuesday and could be activated off IR ahead of Saturday's game after logging a full week of full practices.
JANUARY 9 • ROTOWIRE
Jeff Okudah - Cleared to play Saturday Okudah (concussion) does not have an injury designation for Saturday's game against the Chargers, DJ Bien-Aime of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Okudah ended the week with consecutive full practices, and he has done enough to clear the league's five-step concussion protocol. Barring any setbacks, the 2020 first-round pick should start opposite Derek Stingley at outside corner for Saturday's AFC wild-card clash.
JANUARY 9 • ROTOWIRE
Folorunso Fatukasi - Cleared to play against Bolts Fatukasi (ankle) carries no injury designation into Saturday's AFC wild-card game against the Chargers, DJ Bien-Aime of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Fatukasi missed the final three games of the regular season due to an ankle injury that he suffered against the Dolphins in Week 15. He opened the week with consecutive limited practices but finished strong with a full session Friday. Barring any setbacks, Fatukasi should start alongside Tim Settle at defensive tackle in Saturday's playoff opener.
JANUARY 9 • ROTOWIRE
Christian Harris - Questionable vs. Bolts Harris (ankle) is listed as questionable for Saturday's wild-card round game against the Chargers, DJ Bien-Aime of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Harris was able to end the week with consecutive full practices, so it appears that he is trending toward playing Saturday after being sidelined for the Texans' Week 18 win over the Titans. Unless he suffers a setback, Harris should start at linebacker alongside Azeez Al-Shaair and Henry To'oTo'o while Neville Hewitt, Jake Hansen and Devin White provide rotational depth.
JANUARY 9 • ROTOWIRE
Denico Autry - Questionable for wild-card round Autry (knee) is listed as questionable for Saturday's AFC wild-card game against the Chargers, DJ Bien-Aime of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Autry appears towards being on the probable side of playing as he was a full participant in Thursday's practice. Barring any setbacks, Autry and Derek Barnett should serve as the Texans' top rotational defensive ends Saturday behind starters Will Anderson and Danielle Hunter.

Jaguars QB Lawrence: 'We need to get some juice back in this place'
John Metchie III - Full practice, but questionable Metchie (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Saturday's wild-card round game against the Chargers after practicing fully Thursday.
Impact Metchie, who was listed as a non-participant Tuesday, was limited Wednesday and closed out the Texans' practice week with a full session Thursday, which bodes well for his chances of being available for Saturday's 4:30 ET kickoff. If, however, Metchie ends up limited or out versus Los Angeles, added snaps behind top wideout Nico Collins would be available for some combination of Robert Woods, Diontae Johnson and Xavier Hutchinson.
