The Houston Texans are riding a two-game winning streak after starting the season 0-4. They have the first-place New York Giants up next at home, and they cannot afford to lose this game.
Houston is heavily favored to win this matchup, but they still have to go out there and execute against a team that has a better record than they do.
Here is a look at Houston’s final injury report:
DID NOT PARTICIPATE:
-DB Jalen Pitre (Shoulder / OUT)
-RG Reed Blankenship (Concussion / OUT)
-RB David Montgomery (Groin / OUT)
-OT Blake Fisher
(Thumb / OUT)
FULL PARTICIPATION:
-LB Azeez Al-Shaair (Knee)
-WR Tank Dell (Knee / QUESTIONABLE)
-TE Brevin Jordan (Foot)
-LB Henry To’oTo’o (Shoulder)
-OG Ed Ingram (Hip / Back)
-OT Trent Brown (Wrist)
-TE Dalton Schultz (Quad)
-DL Logan Hall (Knee)
The biggest story of the week has to be the expected return of Tank Dell. Dell has been sidelined for nearly two years and is expected to return to the lineup this weekend against the Giants.
Houston will be without a few starters on defense, along with starting running back David Montgomery. The Texans will lean heavily on Woody Marks in his absence.
If Houston can extend its winning streak to three games, it would be a huge step in the right direction for the team moving forward.
