Returns to practice Wednesday Rankins (shoulder) was a limited participant in practice Wednesday.
Impact Rankins sat out practice Tuesday due to a shoulder injury, but he was able to log a limited session one day later. Given the stakes of Saturday's wild-card contest versus Cleveland, the defensive tackle seems likely to suit up, though his participation level in practice Thursday could provide more clarity on the seriousness of the shoulder issue. Rankins registered 6.0 sacks this season in his first campaign in Houston.

Won't suit up Sunday Rankins (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's Week 8 matchup versus Carolina.
Impact Rankins played 60 percent of Houston's defensive snaps Week 6 against New Orleans, but he came out of the Texans' Week 7 bye with a pair of DNPs around a limited practice session during Week 8 prep. His absence will be a blow to Houston's pass rush, and Kurt Hinish may take on more snaps as a result. Per Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston, Rankins' knee has shown improvement, and he's not expected to be out for an extended period.

Records first sack Rankins registered six tackles, including two for a loss, and a sack in Sunday's 20-13 win over New Orleans.
Impact With the Saints in the red zone, Rankins brought down Derek Carr for an 11-yard loss that forced a third-and-long situation, and New Orleans eventually settled for a field goal. Despite the defense giving up 446 yards, the sack was part of a bounce-back performance for the unit. Houston's defenders allowed just three second-half points (none in the fourth quarter) after letting Atlanta score two touchdowns in the final quarter of a Week 5 loss.
