Who's in, who's out for Texans-Colts in Week 3?
Who is suiting up for the Houston Texans on Sunday when the winless roster takes on the Indianapolis Colts? Follow along here.
The Houston Texans are set to face the Indianapolis Colts in Week 3, with a noticeable absence from their roster. Pro Bowl wideout Nico Collins, who suffered a hamstring injury last week during drills, has officially been ruled out for the match, marking the second consecutive game he missed. Collins was initially expected to return by Week 4 against the Dallas Cowboys, but the situation remains uncertain. He is still in the process of recovering from the hamstring strain, and is currently unable to practice.
In the absence of Collins, the Texans have made some roster adjustments. Ed Ingram and Jadeveon Clowney, both dealing with lower-body injuries, have also been ruled out for the game. To compensate, Wyatt Teller is expected to start at right guard, while Dominique Robinson and Sabastian Harsh will take over the defensive end positions behind Will Anderson Jr. and Danielle Hunter.
Moreover, linebacker Jake Hummel has been placed on the short-term injured reserve. This leaves open a spot for Jaylin Noel, a second-year receiver who has been averaging 28 yards per catch. Noel could potentially become an important asset for the Texans in their vertical passing game during this crucial matchup.
