Top Texans News

  • Texans' Derek Stingley: No rest if healthy Week 18

    Houston head coach DeMeco Ryans said Monday that Stingley and other starters will play Week 18 if healthy with the AFC South title still attainable, Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Stingley has dealt with an oblique injury the last two games but suited up in each, playing a combined 98 percent of the defensive snaps. Houston can claim a third consecutive division title with a win and a Jacksonville loss. It could also slip to as low as seventh with a loss to the Colts on Sunday. If Stingley plays Week 18, it will be a second consecutive full regular season for the fourth-year cornerback, who missed a combined 14 games in his first two NFL campaigns.

  • Texans' Justin Watson: Activated from IR

    The Texans activated Watson (calf) from injured reserve Monday.

    Watson's 21-day window to return from injured reserve was set to close Wednesday, and with the Texans activating him from injured reserve, he'll be available for Houston's regular-season finale against Indianapolis on Sunday. Watson landed on IR in mid-September, and in the two games prior to his injury he logged three catches (on four targets) for 30 yards while also contributing on special teams.

  • Texans' Tank Dell: Preparing for return in 2026

    Dell (knee) is making progress and preparing for the 2026 season, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    There haven't been any notable updates on Dell during the regular season, but this confirms he won't be activated from the reserve/PUP list at any point during the playoffs. Dell is working his way back from a torn ACL, MCL and LCL suffered last Week 16 in Kansas City. He underwent multiple surgeries to repair the knee. Dell is signed through the 2026 season.

  • Texans' Joe Mixon: Will not return this season

    Mixon (foot/ankle) will not return this season, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    It was reported last month by Ian Rapoport of NFL Network that Mixon wasn't expected to play this season, but the veteran running back somewhat refuted the report, implying that had yet to be determined. Mixon remains on the reserve/non-football injury list. Houston will continue to roll with Woody Marks, Jawhar Jordan and Nick Chubb out of the backfield in Week 18 and the postseason.

  • Texans' Danielle Hunter: Another sack in Week 17

    Hunter was able to secure a sack for the third straight week, getting to Justin Herbert for a nine-yard loss in the first quarter. The 31-year-old has now registered at least one sack in six of the last eight games, compiling 10.0 sacks over those contests. Hunter is now up to 52 total tackles (27 solo), including 14.0 sacks, while also adding three passes defensed, two forced fumbles and a fumble recovery over 16 games this season.

  • Texans' Derek Barnett: Two sacks in victory

    Barnett recorded 2.0 sacks in Saturday's 20-16 win over the Chargers.

    Barnett was able to get to Justin Herbert twice in the third quarter, sacking the quarterback on back-to-back plays. The defensive lineman has now compiled 3.0 sacks over the last two weeks, and he's up to 5.0 sacks on the season.
