Top Texans News

  • Texans' Henry To'oTo'o: Double-digit stops vs. Arizona

    To'oTo'o logged 10 tackles (four solo), including one tackle for a loss, during the Texans' 40-20 win over the Cardinals on Sunday.

    To'oTo'o reached double-digit stops for the second time this season Sunday, and he finished second on the team in tackles behind Azeez Al-Shaair (12). To'oTo'o is up to 77 combined tackles through 14 regular-season games, so he has three more games to reach the tackling century mark for a second-straight year, starting with this Sunday's home tilt against the Raiders.

  • Texans' Kamari Lassiter: Picks off Brissett in Week 15 win

    Lassiter tallied five tackles (three solo) and two pass defenses, including an interception, during the Texans' 40-20 win over the Cardinals on Sunday.

    Lassiter was able to shake off a foot injury to play in Sunday's game and ended up playing in 63 of 65 defensive snaps (96.9 percent). He logged his fourth interception of the season early in the third quarter on a pass from Jacoby Brissett that was intended for Michael Wilson in the end zone. Lassiter has logged one pick in back-to-back games, and his four interceptions (through 14 regular-season games) is tied for sixth most in the NFL.

  • Texans' Azeez Al-Shaair: Season-high 12 stops in Week 15

    Al-Shaair posted 12 tackles (seven solo) during the Texans' 40-20 win over the Cardinals on Sunday.

    Al-Shaair's 12 stops Sunday were a season high and the sixth time in his NFL career that he has reached that mark. He has played every single defensive snap in eight of the Texans' last nine games since the Week 6 bye and is up to 96 tackles (46 solo), eight pass defenses (one interception), one forced fumble and one fumble recovery through 14 regular-season games. Al-Shaair could reach the tackling century mark for the third time in his seven-year NFL career as soon as this Sunday against the Raiders.

  • Texans' Jawhar Jordan: Appointed to roster

    The Texans signed Jordan off their practice squad Tuesday.

    Houston still had the ability to elevate Jordan from the practice squad on two more occasions, but the Texans evidently didn't want to risk him getting poached by another team following his impressive showing in his NFL debut during this past Sunday's 40-20 win over the Cardinals. With Nick Chubb (ribs) inactive for the contest and with Woody Marks (ankle) missing the entire second half, Jordan stepped in and carried 15 times for 101 yards to go with two receptions for 17 yards. Jordan should have at least a small role in the game plan in this Sunday's game against the Raiders if at least one of Chubb and Marks misses the contest, though head coach DeMeco Ryans already suggested Monday that Marks wasn't expected to miss additional time. If both Marks and Chubb are available, Jordan might have more difficulty finding snaps on offense, and he may even be at risk of being inactive for Week 16 since fellow depth backs Dare Ogunbowale and British Brooks are both core special-teams contributors.

  • Texans' Jawhar Jordan: Back with practice squad

    Jordan reverted to the Texans' practice squad Monday.

    Jordan was elevated for Week 15 and made his NFL debut in Sunday's 40-20 win over the Cardinals. Though he wasn't expected to take on a prominent role Sunday, Jordan ended up seeing ample work with Nick Chubb (ribs) inactive for the contest and with Woody Marks missing the entire second half with an ankle injury. Jordan turned 15 carries into 101 yards while reeling in both of his targets for 17 yards in the team's win. He notably played 28 of the team's 67 offensive snaps, seven more than backup Dare Ogunbowale (21). If both Chubb and Marks are sidelined Week 16, Jordan will likely operate as the team's lead option on the ground this coming Sunday against the Raiders.

  • Texans' Mario Edwards: Officially placed on IR

    The Texans placed Edwards (pectoral) on injured reserve Monday.

    Edwards suffered a season-ending torn pectoral muscle during Houston's 40-20 win over the Cardinals in Week 15, so his placement on IR is nothing short of expected. With the veteran defensive tackle now sidelined, expect Naquan Jones to operate as the Texans' top rotational option at defensive tackle behind starters Sheldon Rankins and Tommy Togiai.

  • Texans' Mario Edwards: Out for the year

    Edwards sustained a torn pec in Sunday's 40-20 win over the Cardinals and will miss the remainder of the season, Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    The 31-year-old has appeared in all 14 of the Texans' games this season, recording 13 total tackles, including 1.5 sacks, across 279 defensive snaps. With Edwards set to miss the rest of the year, expect Sheldon Rankins and Tommy Togiai to operate as Houston's top interior defensive linemen.

  • Texans' Woody Marks: Could have re-entered Sunday's win

    Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans said Monday that Marks "could have come back in the game" after the running back exited early with an ankle injury during Sunday's 40-20 win over the Cardinals, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houson reports.

    Ryans said Marks "got his ankle tweaked a little bit there early in the game," but the Texans opted to keep the rookie running back on the sideline to "make sure [he] is good as we continue to go into the week." Those comments seemingly bode well for Marks' chances of gaining clearance for Week 16, when Houston will face a plus matchup at home against the Raiders. That said, the next tangible update on Marks' health may not arrive until the team resumes practicing Wednesday. Nick Chubb (ribs) was inactive versus Arizona, so if Marks isn't able to return versus Las Vegas, Jawhar Jordan could get a chance to follow up on his 101-yard performance against Arizona.

  • Texans' Harrison Bryant: Minimal work in win

    Bryant was not targeted over four snaps in Sunday's 40-20 win over the Cardinals in Week 15.

    Bryant returned from a four-game absence due to neck and shoulder injuries but served as the No. 3 tight end behind Dalton Schultz (53 snaps) and Cade Stover (41). With the position group at close to full strength, Bryant should settle into a depth role.

  • Texans' Cade Stover: Contributes three catches in win

    Stover caught all three of his targets for 22 yards in Sunday's 40-20 win over Arizona in Week 15.

    The Texans often rolled with multiple tight ends, and Stover had a season-high 41 snaps alongside starter Dalton Shultz (53 snaps). The position group combined for 12 targets, a team high for the day and a season high. Stover also had one rushing attempt -- another short-yardage situation in the red zone -- but the play was negated by a penalty.

  • Texans' Xavier Hutchinson: Another quiet day

    Hutchinson caught one of two targets for 16 yards in Sunday's 40-20 win over the Cardinals in Week 15.

    The Texans often deployed multiple tight ends, which limited opportunities for Hutchinson and other depth wideouts. Houston's wide receivers were targeted just seven times in the win with Nico Collins (3-85-2) getting four of them. Hutchinson has seen his volume take a hit during the team's six-game win streak, recording six catches on 14 targets for 97 yards. Sunday was the fourth time during the win streak in which Hutchinson had two or fewer targets.
