Danny Amendola - Page 2 - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Shrinking usage Amendola did not catch his lone target and played 13 snaps in Sunday's 22-13 win over Tennessee.

Impact Amendola had the fewest number of snaps among the five active wide receivers, which is a significant change. He had been among the top three in terms of playing time and targets prior to Houston's bye last week. That suggests the 36-year-old Amendola will play a reduced role over the final weeks of the regular season, while Nico Collins, Chris Conley and Chris Moore receive added playing time.

Registers five targets in loss Amendola caught two of five targets for three yards in Sunday's 38-22 loss to the Rams.

Impact In terms of production, Amendola's performance isn't much, but he somehow retains a significant part of the passing game when healthy. He was second among wide receivers in targets and snaps. In the two games since returning from a four-game absence due to a thigh injury, he's been targeted 10 times. That might be the Texans showcasing the 35-year-old receiver ahead of the trade deadline Nov. 2, the day on which he turns 36.

Returns to action Amendola caught three of five targets for 17 yards and returned one kickoff for 15 yards in Sunday's 31-5 loss to the Cardinals.

Impact Amendola returned to action Sunday after missing four games due to a thigh injury. He fit in behind Brandin Cooks and Nico Collins in terms of snap count and shared third wideout duties with Chris Conley. Amendola's five targets tied for third with Collins, behind David Johnson (seven) and Cooks (six). He and Tremon Smith both were added to the return team Sunday, the first game following the Texans' decision to release Andre Roberts. Amendola has been targeted 11 times over 53 snaps, the best target-to-snap ratio among the wideouts, but his injury history works against him. Plus, he's a 35-year-old (36 on Nov. 2) playing for a 1-6 team that should eventually start evaluating all of its younger players in the pipeline.

Returns to full practice Amendola (thigh) practiced fully Wednesday.

Impact Amendola is thus in line to return to action Sunday against the Cardinals and is in a position to reclaim a share of the Texans' slot duties in the process. In the two games he suited up for this season, Amendola caught all six of his targets for 43 yards and a TD. With rookie Davis Mills slated to start at QB at least one more game for Houston, Amendola profiles as a speculative Week 7 lineup option in deeper PPR formats while squaring off against 6-0 Arizona.

To miss fourth straight Amendola (thigh) is inactive Week 6 against the Colts.

Impact Amendola was able to log three practices on a limited basis this week, but that won't be enough for the 35-year-old to make his first appearance since Week 2. Look for Brandin Cooks, Chris Conley and Chris Moore to again lead the receiving corps in his stead, with a potential boost from the recently-activated Nico Collins.

Questionable against Colts Amendola (thigh) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Colts.

Impact Amendola was limited in all three practice sessions this week, so it's hard to get a read on his availability, especially after he also practiced in a limited fashion last week prior to sitting out. If he's able to suit up Sunday, it will be Amendola's first action since Week 2.

Remains limited at practice Amendola (thigh) was limited at practice Wednesday.

Impact Amendola practiced last week in a limited fashion, but wound up inactive for Sunday's loss to the Patriots. However, coach David Culley noted Wednesday that the slot receiver is "making progress" and will hopefully be able to return to the lineup this weekend against the Colts, Drew Dougherty of the Texans' official site reports. Along with the possibility that Amendola could return to the mix versus Indianapolis, Nico Collins (shoulder) is also a candidate to resume action in Week 6 after being designated to return from IR on Wednesday.

Could return Week 6 Amendola (thigh) could return in Week 6 against the Colts, Aaron Wilson of Sportstalk 790 Houston reports.

Impact Amendola was back at practice last week but was ultimately held out for a third consecutive game Sunday against the Patriots. However, coach David Culley said the veteran receiver was "so close" to returning, and he's hoping the 35-year-old will be able to suit up against Indianapolis. Across his first two appearances of the year, Amendola hauled in all six of his targets for 43 yards and a touchdown.

Inactive Sunday Amendola (thigh) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Patriots.

Impact With Amendola inactive, Brandin Cooks and Chris Conley will head the Texans' Week 5 WR corps, with Andre Roberts, Chris Moore and Davion Davis candidates to log complementary snaps Sunday.

Questionable against former team Amendola (thigh) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Patriots, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Amendola has a chance to return after missing Houston's last two games. He's been practicing in a limited capacity and would surely love a shot at facing his former team, though the slot receiver will now be catching passes from rookie third-round pick Davis Mills. Amendola's injury occurred not long before veteran quarterback Tyrod Taylor hurt his hamstring and landed on IR.

Back at practice Amendola (thigh) will practice Wednesday, Brooks Kubena of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Impact Amendola missed the Texans' last two games, but his return to practice Wednesday -- even in a limited fashion -- suggests that he could be ready to play Sunday against the Patriots. If active this weekend, Amendola would presumably step in as the top slot man in Houston's offense, after the Texans cut his main competition at the position (Anthony Miller) earlier Wednesday.

Won't play against Buffalo Amendola (thigh) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bills.

Impact Amendola was unable to take part in any of Houston's practices this week, so it's not surprising that the veteran slot receiver will have to sit out for a second consecutive game due to the injury he suffered Week 2. A Week 5 visit from one of Amendola's former teams (the Patriots) will present his next opportunity to return to action.
