Houston Texans player notes for Dec 26th, 2018


DeAndre Hopkins – Important – Injury
WR DeAndre Hopkins is dealing with an ankle injury that kept him out of practice all last week but he was still able to play against the Eagles. Hopkins worked out prior to the game to test out his ankle but as the game progressed, it was easy to see that his left ankle was bothering him.

Johnathan Joseph – Noteworthy – Injury
CB Johnathan Joseph has a neck issue that he suffered after making a tackle on WR Alshon Jeffery. Joseph missed time on the field but found a way back playing the final few drives with his injuries.

Kareem Jackson – Noteworthy – Injury
CB Kareem Jackson is expected to play Sunday after injuring his knee in the first half of the Eagles game. Jackson was riding the bike on the sideline to get loose but the Texans opted to shut him down for the remainder of the game.

Keke Coutee – Noteworthy – Injury
WR Keke Coutee remains limited in practice because of his hamstring and he will remain a game time decision for Sunday.

Lamar Miller – Important – Injury
RB Lamar Miller is feeling better after injuring his ankle against the New York Jets that caused him to miss their last game against the Philadelphia Eagles. Expectations remain that he will be a game-time decision.

Mike Tyson – Noteworthy – Injury
S Mike Tyson remains in the concussion protocol and that required him to miss the last game. Tyson has experience at safety and he will be needed due to a depleted secondary due to injuries.
