Texans' Thursday injury report: Four Texans starters miss practice for a second time

[ASFN Admin]

The Houston Texans are preparing to get back to their winning ways with an in-division victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday at NRG Stadium. To do so, it'll be without starting quarterback C.J. Stroud.

Stroud was already ruled out of Sunday's game during Wednesday's press conference. He, along with kicker Ka'imi Fairbairn, will watch from the sidelines as Davis Mills and Matthew Wright try to secure a win through the air and with field goal attempts.

Stroud and Fairbairn aren't the only two names to monitor entering Sunday's must-win game. Offensive tackle Tytus Howard suffered a concussion in the second quarter of Week 9's loss to the Denver Broncos and did not return. Defensive back Jalen Pitre was also drilled in the fourth quarter and has yet to return to practice with a concussion.

After missing Wednesday's practice, defensive end Will Anderson Jr. (quad), defensive lineman Denico Autry (knee), and running back Nick Chubb (foot) all returned to practice. Meanwhile, running back Dameon Pierce went from being healthy to limited.

“Dalton didn’t go today, but we’re expecting to get him back as the week goes on,” Ryans said. “He’s doing well, progressing just fine.”

On Thursday, the Texans added running back Woody Marks to the injury report, but he was listed as limited. It's a sign that at least Houston could be in line to get him back on Friday before walkthroughs, entering the matchup between two AFC potential contenders.
