Houston Texans

Azeez Al-Shaair

LB

Al-Shaair suffered a groin injury in the 19-17 loss to the Colts in Week 3. Head coach DeMeco Ryans stated Wednesday that the 29-year-old is considered "week-to-week," meaning his absence could extend beyond Sunday's intrastate meeting with the Cowboys. As a result, Wade Woodaz (ankle/thumb), who logged a career-high 17 snaps versus Indianapolis, could continue to be more involved.

Jadeveon Clowney

DE

Clowney was limited in practice Wednesday and Thursday, though he took a step back Friday. As a result, there is a realistic chance that the veteran will be looking at a third consecutive absence. If that's the case, the door will remain open for increased involvement from Sabastian Harsh and Dominique Robinson. Chris Braswell, who was signed from the practice squad Wednesday, should also receive some snaps.

Logan Hall

Nico Collins

WR

After opening the week with limited practices Wednesday and Thursday, Collins is ready to return from the hamstring strain that cost him the previous two games. The alpha WR1 can be plugged right back into fantasy lineups ahead of a mouthwatering matchup with Dallas' porous secondary.

British Brooks

RB

Brooks will miss at least four games. However, the 26-year-old has seen action only on special teams during the 2026 campaign, so his extended absence won't impact the usual day-to-day operations for the Texans offense.
