Texans WR Robert Woods OUT vs. Carolina Panthers

OCT 29 WOODS INACTIVE VS. PANTHERS: Robert Woods headlines one of six inactive players for Sunday's Week 8 contest against the Carolina Panthers. Woods was a non-participant for an entire week of practice due to a foot injury.

The Texans will also be without Brevin Jordan, Case Keenum, Myjai Sanders, Nick Broeker and Sheldon Rankins.

OCT 18 MURRAY TO IR Texans S Eric Murray was placed on injured reserve after suffering a knee injury in the team's win over the Saints on Sunday. The team made the announcement on Wednesday. 

Murray has contributed on 43 percent of the Houston defensive snaps this year and 37 percent of special teams plays. In a corresponding move, the team elevated D'Angelo Ross to the 53-man roster and signed corner Alex Austin to the practice squad.

OCT 11 DELL IN CONCUSSION PROTOCOL The Houston Texans could be without one of their top weapons this Sunday against the New Orleans Saints.

According to head coach DeMeco Ryans, rookie wide receiver Tank Dell has entered concussion protocol after being forced to leave the game during. the team's loss to the Falcons on Sunday. 

“Tank is in the protocol, and we’ll see how he progresses throughout the week,” Ryans told reporters Monday. “Hopefully he starts to feel better. Definitely hurts not having him out there.”

Dell has been one of the most explosive players in the Texans offense this season, and has shown a great connection with his quarterback, fellow rookie, C.J. Stroud.

In five games for Houston, Dell has 19 catches for 324 yards and two scores, averaging 17.1 yards per catch.

“Tank is an explosive playmaker for us, but our thoughts [are] with Tank to make sure he gets back healthy as soon as possible,” Ryans said.

OCT 3 GREEN OUT The Houston Texans' offensive line was already suffering from major losses so far this season. 

And on Tuesday, things got even worse, with guard Kenrick Green reportedly being ruled out indefinitely with a torn meniscus. 

Green was originally brought in by the Texans as a replacement for second-year guard Kenyon Green, who was lost for the season with a shoulder injury before the season began. 

Green started the last three games for Houston, logging 208 snaps over those three games. 

OCT 1 PICKETT HURT The Houston Texans entered Sunday vs. the Pittsburgh Steelers looking for their second straight win. 

And with the Texans already leading 16-6, the Steelers suffered a major setback, with starting quarterback Kenny Pickett going down with a lower-body injury. 

Pickett had to be helped off of the field and will not return.

In replacement of Pickett, former Bears No. 2 overall pick Mitchell Trubisky has entered the lineup for Pittsburgh.

SEPT 27 TUNSIL OUT AGAIN? The Houston Texans could be set to be without their star left tackle Laremy Tunsil for the third consecutive week. 

According to reports, Tunsil is trending toward being out for the third week in a row with a knee issue. 

However, Tunsil is not the only Texas offensive lineman who could miss Sunday's game vs. the Steelers, with Josh Jones also reportedly expected to miss the matchup with a hand injury. 

In some positive news for the Texans, safety Jalen Pitre did return to practice on Wednesday, after suffering an injury in the season opener vs. Baltimore and missing the last two weeks. 

SEPT 24 TUNSIL OUT The Houston Texans will be without several of their top players for their AFC South matchup with the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday. 

Chief among those inactives is star left tackle Laremy Tunsil, who is battling a knee injury and will miss yet another game.

Denzel Perryman, Jalen Pitre, Derek Rivers, Tavierre Thomas, Dare Ogunbowale, and Case Keenum were also listed as inactive by the team. 

SEPT 22 FOUR TEXANS OUT After a tough week of injury luck, the Houston Texans are set to be without four players for their upcoming AFC South tilt with the Jacksonville Jaguars. 

Corner Derek Stingley Jr., who is set to miss six to eight weeks with a hamstring issue, is chief among those losses. 

The Texans will also be without linebacker Denzel Perryman, safety Jalen Pitre and cornerback Tavierre Thomas. 

Houston could also potentially be without star left tackle Laremy Tunsil, who is listed as questionable with a knee issue.
