Houston Texans vs. Buffalo Bills: Injury Report

The 3-1 Houston Texans are set to face the 3-1 Buffalo Bills this Sunday at home. If the Texans want to be taken seriously in the AFC, they need to show up in this tough matchup.

Here is a look at Thursday’s Houston Texans injury report:

DID NOT PARTICIPATE:

• Defensive End Derek Barnett (Shoulder)
• Running Back Dameon Pierce (Hamstring)
• Running Back Joe Mixon (Ankle)
• Offensive Tackle Blake Fisher (Illness)
• Linebacker Jake Hansen (Back)
• Wide Receiver Robert Woods (Foot)
• Defensive End Jerry Hughes (Hip)

LIMITED PARTICIPATION:

• Wide Receiver Tank Dell (Chest)
• Safety Jimmie Ward (Groin)
• Right Tackle Tytus Howard (Hamstring)
• Center Juice Scruggs (Hip)
• Left Tackle Laremy Tunsil (Ankle)

FULL PARTICIPATION:

• Defensive Tackle Kurt Hinish (Calf)
• Defensive End Dylan Horton (Illness)

The Texans could be without their starting running back Joe Mixon for the third week in a row, due to the ankle injury he suffered in week two. Mixon will likely be a game-time decision.

The good news is that Houston is likely to get their starting wide receiver in Tank Dell back from a painful chest injury. Dell has all the talent in the world, but has gotten off to a slow start compared to his impressive rookie season.

Houston needs all the help they can get against a talented Bills team that is looking to bounce back after an embarrassing loss to the Baltimore Ravens.
