Jake Hansen - Active for SNF Hansen (ankle) is active for Sunday Night Football against the Lions.
Impact The middle linebacker was a limited participant in practice Wednesday before missing the last two sessions of the week. Hansen played 18 special-teams snaps in the Texans' Week 9 loss to the Jets. The third-year pro has played on 98 defensive snaps this season.

Folorunso Fatukasi - Active Sunday night Fatukasi (groin/shoulder) is active for Sunday night's matchup with the Lions.
Impact The starting defensive tackle was listed as questionable on Friday's injury report after missing practice all week. Fatukasi likely sustained the injury during Houston's Week 9 loss to the Jets, but it does not appear to be serious enough to force him to miss Week 10. Fatukasi has 21 tackles (14 solo), including 1.0 sacks, this season.

Jerry Hughes - Active Sunday night Hughes (hip) is active for Sunday Night Football against the Lions.
Impact The defensive end was activated from injured reserve Saturday after practicing in full Friday. Hughes was placed on IR in early October and missed the next five games, but the Texans opened his 21-day practice window to return from IR on Wednesday. Hughes played 38 defensive snaps across the four games he did play in early in the season, making one tackle.

Tank Dell - Active versus Detroit Dell (back) is listed as active for Sunday night's game against the Lions.
Impact Dell, who worked fully Wednesday and Thursday, approached the contest listed as questionable after being limited in practice Friday, but he'll be available to face Detroit, unlike fellow wideout Nico Collins (hamstring) who was activated off injured reserve Saturday but deemed inactive Sunday. In that context, barring any in-game setbacks or limitations, Dell should have an opportunity to remain a key cog in Houston's passing game in Week 10, while leading a WR corps that also includes Xavier Hutchinson, Robert Woods, John Metchie and Steven Sims.

Nico Collins - Inactive Sunday night Collins (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday night's game against the Lions.
Impact Collins, who landed on IR on Oct. 9 due to a hamstring injury, was designated to return Friday and was subsequently able to log one limited practice session before being listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's contest. Though the wideout -- who was activated from IR on Saturday -- has recovered well from his hamstring issue, per Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston, Collins' return to action is on hold until at least Monday, Nov. 18, when Houston faces Dallas on the road. In his continued absence, Tank Dell, Xavier Hutchinson, Robert Woods and John Metchie are slated to lead the Texans' Week 10 wideout corps.

C.J. Stroud - Week 10 O-line adjustments In an effort to provide better protection for Stroud, the Texans are moving center Juice Scruggs to left guard, Aaron Wilson of KPRDC 2 Houston reports. Jarrett Patterson will step...
Impact Stroud was sacked a season high eight times and another 11 in last week's loss to the Jets. For the season, the quarterback has absorbed 30 sacks, second most in the NFL. To prevent more abuse from defensive lines after the team placed starting left guard Kenyon Green (shoulder) on injured reserve, the Texans feel Scruggs can focus on his blocking assignments without having to make line calls on protection adjustments. That duty now falls to Patterson, a 2023 sixth-round pick out of Notre Dame, who is regarded as a cerebral, technique-strong lineman with a keen understanding of pass-rush schemes.

Nico Collins - Viewed as game-time call Collins (hamstring) remains listed as questionable and is viewed as a game-time decision for Sunday's contest against the Lions, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Impact Shortly after Houston reinstated Collins from injured reserve Saturday, Rapoport reported that the receiver was on track to return to action Sunday following a four-game absence, but his status appears to be more uncertain leading up to the 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff. Though the Texans added Collins back to the 53-man roster after he spent the minimum amount of time on IR, he didn't resume practicing until Friday, when he was a limited participant in the team's final session of the week. Official word on the availability (or lack thereof) of both Collins and fellow starting receiver Tank Dell (back) -- who is listed as questionable but expected to play -- won't be provided until Houston releases its inactive list 90 minutes before kickoff, so fantasy managers planning on using Collins this week may not have many appealing alternatives available if he ends up sitting out Sunday. If Collins end up playing against Detroit, he could still face some restrictions with his snap count, given his limited practice time leading up to the contest.

Juice Scruggs - Moving to guard Scruggs will move from center to guard for Sunday's game against Detroit, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Impact Scruggs, who is normally the starter at center, will replace guard Kenyon Green (shoulder), who was placed on injured reserve. Jarrett Patterson will step in for Scruggs. The injury to Green is not the sole reason for the shift; Houston needs better protection for quarterback C.J. Stroud. The second-year quarterback was sacked eight times and hit another 11 in last week's loss to the Jets. Stroud has been taken down 30 times this season, second most in the NFL behind Cleveland's Deshaun Watson (33). Having Scruggs operate at guard, where he played during his rookie 2023 season, allows him to focus on his blocking assignment without having to make line calls on protection adjustments.

Tank Dell - Expected to suit up in Week 10 Dell (back), who is questionable for Sunday's game against Detroit, is expected to play, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Impact Dell popped up on the injury report Friday and logged a limited practice due to a back issue. While late-week additions to the injury report are often ominous, it appears Dell will be able to play through the injury. Fellow wideout Nico Collins (hamstring) was activated off injured reserve Saturday and could be active Sunday, so the Texans might have their top two receivers available for a crucial contest against the Lions. It's important to note, however, that the matchup takes place on Sunday Night Football and doesn't begin until 8:20 PM ET, so fantasy managers who roster Dell or Collins may want to have a backup plan in place since neither is 100 percent certain to play.

Jeff Okudah - Won't play Sunday Okudah (quadriceps) has been downgraded to out for Sunday's game against Detroit.
Impact Okudah has been on injured reserve since injuring his hip in Week 1 against the Colts. He was designated to return from IR on Monday, and while he was able to log a full practice Friday, he's not yet ready to return. Okudah's next chance at suiting up will be Week 11 against Dallas on Monday, Nov. 18.

Jerry Hughes - Activated off IR The Texans activated Hughes (hip) from injured reserve Saturday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Impact Hughes was placed on injured reserve in early October due to a hip injury. He's been sidelined for the Texans' last five games, but his 21-day practice window to return from IR opened Wednesday. He was able to practice in full Friday, and his activation from IR seems to indicate that Hughes has a good chance at playing Sunday against Detroit.

Nico Collins - Activated off injured reserve Collins (hamstring) was activated off injured reserve Saturday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. He still is listed as questionable for Sunday's contest against the Lions.
Impact It'd be a bit odd if Collins was activated off injured reserve and then not play Sunday, but expect the team to make that official announcement at some point prior to the 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff. Tank Dell (back) is also listed as questionable for this contest, which makes Collins' impact all the more crucial in the pivotal matchup against the Lions.

Dalton Schultz - Could see increased targets Schultz could see a higher-than-usual number of targets in Sunday night's game against the Lions with Houston's top-two wideouts questionable for Week 10.
Impact Schultz had been a forgotten component in the passing offense to start the season, but injuries have hit the wideout group since Week 1. Stefon Diggs (knee) is done for the season, Nico Collins (IR, hamstring) was designated to return from IR but logged one limited practice Friday and is questionable, and Tank Dell (back) popped up on Friday's injury report and is questionable. Schultz is averaging five targets per game for the season and has seen at least six throws come his way in four of the last five weeks, coinciding with the stretch of time that injuries began impacting the wide receivers. After catching five touchdowns during his first season in Houston, Schultz is still looking for his first score in 2024.

J.J. Taylor - Likely on active roster Week 10 Taylor is expected to be on the active roster for Sunday night's game against Detroit, as Dameon Pierce has been ruled out for Week 10.
Impact Taylor was signed to the 53-man roster ahead of last week's contest, in which Pierce was inactive, and had three carries for 23 yards in a loss to the Jets. He's expected to be third on the depth chart behind Joe Mixon and Dare Ogunbowale.

Dare Ogunbowale - Lining up as top backup Week 10 Ogunbowale is expected to serve as the top backup to Joe Mixon, as Dameon Pierce (hamstring) has been ruled out of Sunday night's game against the Lions.
Impact Pierce will miss a second consecutive week, ceding the depth spots in the backfield to Ogunbowale and J.J. Taylor. There may not be much for either back to do, unless Mixon sustains an injury; in Week 9's loss to the Jets, Ogunbowale and Taylor combined for two touches and three targets (no catches).

Jarrett Patterson - Clears concussion protocols Patterson (concussion) was a full practice participant Friday and does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against Detroit.
Impact Patterson was diagnosed with a concussion in Week 8, which forced him to be sidelined in Week 9 against the Jets. Patterson was a full practice participant all week, and he cleared the league's five-step concussion protocols by an independent neurologist. The 2023 sixth-round pick should start at left guard for Sunday's game.

Jimmie Ward - Past groin injury Ward (groin) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Lions.
Impact Ward practiced in full Friday after opening the Texans' week of practice with consecutive limited sessions, indicating that he's moved past his groin injury in time to face Detroit in Week 10. The veteran had missed Houston's last four games, so this will be the first time the Texans' have had their top safety duo of Ward and Calen Bullock since Week 5.
