Jaylin Noel - Sees action in loss Noel recorded two catches for 53 yards and three kickoff returns for 70 yards in Sunday's 36-31 loss to the Bills.

Impact The wide receiver played on 24 of 79 offensive snaps and six more on special teams. Nico Collins, Xavier Hutchinson and Kayshon Boutte all played on more offensive snaps for the Texans. Noel, though, seems secure in his role as kick and punt returner, as he also had a fair catch on a punt during the defeat.

Henry To'oTo'o - Might have to go on IR To'oTo'o might end up on injured reserve after hurting his shoulder during Sunday's 36-31 loss to the Bills, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Impact Texans coach DeMeco Ryans said Monday that the team was still deciding on To'oTo'o's status. The linebacker was seen wearing a sling after the game. To'oTo'o suffered the injury late in the fourth quarter after playing 46 snaps.

Jake Hummel - Week-to-week with groin injury Hummel (groin) is considered week-to-week, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Impact Hummel suffered a groin injury in the third quarter of Sunday's 36-31 loss to the Bills. The linebacker will almost certainly miss the Texans' Week 2 game against the Bengals. Jake Hansen will likely start as the second outside linebacker in Hummel's absence, but the team will probably rely on more nickel packages with Jalen Pitre in the slot while Hummel is absent.

Kayshon Boutte - Minimal production in Week 1 Boutte caught one of two targets for 21 yards in the Texans' 36-31 loss to the Bills on Sunday.

Impact Acquired from the Patriots toward the end of training camp, Boutte is still in the process if building rapport with C.J. Stroud while learning the playbook. He played behind both Nico Collins and Xavier Hutchinson against Buffalo, seeing just under 46 percent of the offensive snaps. Boutte's role could grow as the season goes along, but Hutchinson has long been a favorite of the coaching staff, and second-year WR Jaylin Noel is also in the mix for increased reps.

Xavier Hutchinson - Hauls in three passes Week 1 Hutchinson caught three passes on six targets for 32 yards during the Texans' 36-31 loss to the Bills on Sunday.

Impact Hutchinson finished third among Texans pass catchers in both targets and receptions, including a 20-yard catch late in the fourth quarter. His 44 snaps on offense were second-most among wide receivers behind Nico Collins (57), suggesting that Hutchinson is the Texans' WR2 ahead of Kayshoun Boutte (36 snaps) and Jaylin Noel (24 snaps) in the absence of Jayden Higgins (knee, IR). The Texans will stay at home for Week 2 against the Bengals on Sept. 20.

Impact Fairbairn's field goal was drilled from 58 yards in the fourth quarter to bring the Texans within one point.
