Fades injury report Anderson (rest) was not listed on the Texans' injury report for Thursday's practice.

Impact Anderson was held out of Wednesday's practice for rest purposes, but the 2023 first-rounder is on track to play against the Ravens on Sunday. The third-year pass rusher has opened the regular season with 14 tackles (10 solo), including 3.0 sacks, across four games.

Rested Wednesday Anderson was listed as a DNP at Wednesday's practice due to rest on Houston's injury report.

Impact The reason of "rest" likely means there's nothing to see here, but Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans told -Sam Warren of the Houston Chronicle on Wednesday that Anderson's status was day to day. "They're both managing," Ryans said, referring to Anderson and cornerback Derek Stingley (oblique). "We'll be looking at those guys from day to day. We'll see how they continue to improve throughout the week." Anderson showed no sign of injury last week and played up until the final drive of Week 4's 26-0 win over Tennessee. He was instrumental in disrupting the Titans' passing game, amassing five quarterback pressures. His 22 pressures through four games are fifth-most in the NFL and 11 quick-pressures (under three seconds) are tied for first.

On the year, Anderson has recorded 14 tackles (10 solo), including 3.0 sacks and five TFLs, and six QB hits on 71 percent of the defensive snaps.
