INJURIES
Ed Ingram - Ruled out for Sunday Ingram (groin) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Bengals.
Impact Ingram was a healthy participant in Wednesday's practice before being limited Thursday with a new groin issue. The right guard capped off a demoralizing week of practice by missing Friday's session due to the issue. Wyatt Teller will likely start at right guard in Ingram's absence.

2026 NFL DPOY Odds: Hutchinson Favored After Garrett Injury
Jadeveon Clowney - Won't play Sunday Clowney (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Bengals.
Impact Clowney recorded his third injury in as many weeks during Week 2 preparation. The defensive end dealt with ankle and hip issues in the lead-up to the Texans' 36-31 loss against the Bills last Sunday. Clowney was unable to practice at all in Week 2 due to the new issue. With the primary depth option at edge rusher out, Dominique Robinson and Sabastain Harash will likely share the rotational defensive snaps behind Will Anderson and Danielle Hunter.

Jake Hummel - Ruled out for Sunday Hummel (groin) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Bengals.
Impact Hummel suffered a groin injury during the third quarter of last Sunday's 36-31 loss to the Bills. The linebacker is considered week-to-week as he deals with the issue so being ruled out of next Sunday's contest is no surprise. Jake Hansen will likely continue to fill in for the outside linebacker as he recovers.

Xavier Hutchinson - Stepping up in Collins' absence Hutchinson will have a key role for the Texans in the absence of Nico Collins (hamstring) this Sunday against Cincinnati, Aaron Wilson of SportsTalk790AM reports.
Impact In the season opener, Hutchinson finished second among the team's wide receivers in route share (69 percent) and target share (16.2 percent), catching three of six targets for 32 yards. He's struggled to draw targets over the years even when he gets considerable playing time, but this could be somewhat different because the team's WR depth looks thinner than in past years. Kayshon Boutte, Jaylin Noel and Jared Wayne also figure to have roles against the Bengals on Sunday.

Jaylin Noel - Primed for larger role? Noel has a chance for more playing time with Nico Collins (hamstring) ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bengals, Aaron Wilson of SportsTalk790AM reports.
Impact Noel caught both of his targets for 53 yards in the season opener, operating as Houston's No. 3 receiver and running a route on just 33 percent of dropbacks. He should get more playing time this week, though Xavier Hutchinson and Kayshon Boutte are more likely to take snaps in two-wide sets. Both have maintained consistently low target rates across multiple years of significant playing time, so Noel could make an impact even if he's just the No. 3 receiver.

Houston dealt a blow as Nico Collins ruled out vs the Bengals with a hamstring injury

Houston receiver Nico Collins will miss Sunday’s game against the Cincinnati Bengals with a hamstring injury
10 HOURS AGO • Associated Press
Kayshon Boutte - Set for larger role Boutte is in line for a larger role with Nico Collins (hamstring) ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bengals, Aaron Wilson of SportsTalk790AM reports.
Impact Boutte was targeted on just two of 25 routes in a Week 1 loss to Buffalo, catching one pass for 21 yards. His 60 percent route share was fourth on the team, behind Collins (86%), TE Dalton Schultz (71%) and WR Xavier Hutchinson (69%). With Collins out of the equation, Hutchinson and Boutte are the safest bets to take WR snaps, with Jaylin Noel and Jared Wayne also having roles. The Texans may also lean into multi-TE formations after using 11 personnel on 58 percent of snaps in their season opener.

Nico Collins - Ruled out for Week 2 Collins (hamstring) will not play Sunday against the Bengals.
Impact Collins injured his hamstring during Wednesday's practice and wasn't able to return Thursday or Friday. With his absence confirmed, the Texans have Kayshon Boutte, Xavier Hutchinson, Jaylin Noel and Jared Wayne as their healthy options at wide receiver. Collins typically accounts for more than one-fourth of Houston's targets, so his absence could also push some volume toward the team's RBs and TEs.
