Impact Anderson finished Week 5 prep with a DNP-LP-FP practice log, and that was enough for the fourth-year pass rusher to avoid an injury designation for Sunday's AFC South showdown. Anderson has 23 tackles (13 solo), including 4.5 sacks, one pass defense, one forced fumble and a fumble recovery through the first four games of the regular season.

Full practice Thursday Anderson (ankle) was a full participant at the Texans' practice Thursday.

Impact Anderson was limited to open the week with an ankle injury, but he now appears to be good to go for Sunday's matchup with the Cowboys. The defensive lineman has compiled 18 total tackles (10 solo), including 4.0 sacks, while also adding both a forced fumble and a fumble recovery over three contests to open the 2026 campaign.

NFL Awards Ballot: In Bijan Robinson We Trust; Brock Purdy MVP Frontrunner?

Limited by ankle issue Anderson (ankle) was limited in Wednesday's practice.

Impact Anderson may have injured his ankle during the Texans' Week 3 loss to the Colts, when he logged seven tackles (five solo), including 2.5 sacks, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery. He's been a key piece to the Texans' defense since entering the league in 2023 as a first-round pick, and if he cannot play against the Cowboys on Sunday, then Jadeveon Clowney (knee) and Dominique Robinson would both be in line for more snaps at defensive end opposite Danielle Hunter. Anderson will have two more opportunities to log a full practice and avoid an injury designation for Week 4.
