Are you looking for an injury report that covers all fantasy-relevant players throughout the league? Head over to our Final Week 12 NFL Injury Report.
Will Anderson, DE
Anderson (ankle) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday’s matchup against the Titans.
The 23-year-old upgraded to full participation Friday after opening Houston’s week of practice with consecutive limited sessions, suggesting that he’s moved past his ankle issue in time for Sunday’s divisional matchup.
Expect Anderson to start opposite Danielle Hunter as part of the Texans’ top pass-rushing duo in Week 12.
Denico Autry, DT
Autry (knee) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday’s matchup against the Titans.
Despite logging three consecutive DNPs during the Texans’ week of practice, the 34-year-old still has a chance to suit up in Week 12.
If Autry misses Sunday’s divisional matchup, the impact would be mitigated by the return of Will Anderson. If he is able to play through his knee issue, Autry will likely serve as a rotational defensive end.
Folorunso Fatukasi, DT
Fatukasi (foot) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday’s matchup against the Titans.
The 29-year-old missed the Texans’ Week 11 win over the Cowboys and was unable to practice all week due to a foot injury, so it’s no surprise he won’t be suiting up Sunday.
Expect Mario Edwards to see additional work with Houston’s first-team defensive line in Fatukasi’s stead in Week 12.
Blake Fisher, OT
Fisher (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday’s Week 12 clash against the Titans.
Fisher will miss his second straight contest due to a concussion. He didn’t practice at all this week, which suggests that he’s still in the NFL’s five-step concussion protocol. Fisher’s next chance to suit up will come Sunday, Dec. 1 against Jacksonville.
Kamari Lassiter, CB
Lassiter (concussion) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday’s matchup against the Titans.
Lassiter missed Houston’s Week 11 win over the Cowboys after sustaining a concussion the previous game, but he practiced in full all week and has cleared concussion protocol, paving the way for his return in Week 12.
The rookie from Georgia has nabbed three interceptions in his eight appearances this season and is expected to serve as one of the team’s top outside corners Sunday.
Derek Stingley, CB
Stingley (hip) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday’s matchup against the Titans.
Stingley practiced in full Friday after beginning the Texans’ week of practice with back-to-back limited sessions, so it appears he’s moved past his hip injury in time to suit up in Week 12.
The third-year pro has impressed through Houston’s first 11 games this season, recording 36 total tackles and 12 passes defended, including two interceptions. Expect Stingley to serve as the Texans’ top outside cornerback in Sunday’s divisional matchup.
