The Houston Texans, fresh off a bye week, are well rested heading into a home contest against the Miami Dolphins. The week off helped them nurture some injuries as well, which is crucial in the latter stretch of the NFL season.
With an 8-5 record, the Texans have a two-game lead in the AFC South as they look to win the division and earn a playoff bid for the second-straight season. They had huge aspirations heading into the season, though injuries have been a hindrance to their results.
Ahead of their matchup against the Dolphins, the Texans have five players with game status tags and one having already been ruled out.
OUT:
OL Juice Scruggs, foot
Questionable:
OG Kenyon Green, shoulder
LB Christian Harris, calf
LB Jamal Hill, knee
OL Nick Broeker, hand
The Texans will be without Juice Scruggs for a couple of games and potentially Kenyon Green against Miami — which is a brutal blow to the offensive line which has already struggled this season. The linebacker depth could be taking a hit, too.
