Texans' Joe Mixon: Still trending toward playing
Mixon (ankle), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Patriots, is still on track to play, Jordan Schultz of FOX Sports reports.
Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston echoed this same sentiment Friday, but it's good to see that the star running back hasn't suffered any setbacks in his pursuit of making a return after a multi-game absence. Dameon Pierce and Dare Ogunbowale would likely operate in a reserve capacity once it's officially confirmed Mixon will be set to play Sunday.

Texans' Kamari Lassiter: Expects to miss multiple games
Lassiter is expected to miss multiple games as he recovers from a scapula injury he sustained in Week 5 versus the Bills, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Lassiter was already ruled out for Sunday's game at New England, but it seems like that will be the first of at least a couple games he'll be sidelined for. Until he's healthy again, D'Angelo Ross should see a significant uptick in snaps.

Texans' D'Angelo Ross: Expected starter Week 6
Ross is expected to start in place of injured cornerback Kamari Lassiter (shoulder) in Week 6 against New England, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Ross, who was elevated from the practice squad Week 2 and signed to the active roster a week later, has seen special-teams only duty in four games played. He appeared in 13 regular-season games for Houston in 2023, primarily on special teams.

Texans' Cam Akers: Reduced role expected Week 6
Akers could see a drop in touches and snaps in Sunday's game against New England, as Dameon Pierce (hamstring) carries no injury designation and Joe Mixon (ankle) is listed as questionable on the Texans' injury report.
Pierce's status indicates he could take over as the lead back, a role that Akers filled the last four weeks. The questionable tag for Mixon, the club's No. 1 back, represents an improvement after being ruled out the last four weeks. The potential return for both backs, which should suggest a marginal role for Akers, could actually make him inactive. That was his status in Week 1, the lone game in which both Mixon and Pierce suited up.

Texans' Dameon Pierce: No Week 6 injury designation
Pierce (hamstring) doesn't carry an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Patriots.
Pierce, who hasn't played since Week 1, is poised to return to action Sunday after logging full practices Thursday and Friday. In his looming return, Pierce's Week 6 fantasy upside hinges largely on the availability of Joe Mixon (ankle), who is listed as questionable but trending toward being available versus New England, per Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston.

Texans' Jimmie Ward: Officially out for Week 6
Ward (groin) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Patriots.
Ward was expected to miss the Texans' Week 6 contest after aggravating a pre-existing groin injury the week prior, and Friday's injury report made it official. Expect Calen Bullock to start alongside Jalen Pitre while Ward recovers from his injury.

Texans' Kamari Lassiter: Won't play Sunday
Lassiter (shoulder) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Patriots.
Lassiter was unable to practice all week due to a shoulder injury, so it's no surprise that he won't suit up in Week 6. The rookie cornerback has impressed through the Texans' first five games, recording 19 total tackles and defending three passes, including one interception. Expect Kris Boyd and Ka'dar Hollman to see increased work opposite Derek Stingley in Lassiter's stead.

Texans' Derek Barnett: Questionable after full practice
Barnett (shoulder) is questionable for Houston's Week 6 matchup against the Patriots after logging a full practice Friday.
Barnett logged a full practice after a DNP on Wednesday and a limited practice Thursday. The 6-foot-3 defensive end sat out last week against the Bills, but his hiatus may cap at one game if he's able to suit up Sunday when the Texans travel to New England.

Texans' Tytus Howard: Good to go against Pats
Howard (hamstring) has no injury designation for Sunday's matchup against the Patriots.
Howard logged his first full practice of the week Friday, and he'll be active for the Texans' Week 6 outing. The 6-foot-5 offensive tackle has missed one game so far this year, and it was last week against the Bills.

Texans' Jake Hansen: No injury designation
Hansen (back) holds no injury designation for Sunday's game against New England.
Hansen is now active after missing out on last week's win over the Bills. He'll return to the field Sunday but will likely continue to play only on special teams, as he has so far this season.

Texans' Joe Mixon: Trending toward return
Mixon (ankle), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Patriots, is expected to be available for the contest barring any setbacks, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Back-to-back limited sessions have Mixon trending in the right direction ahead of Sunday's game. Meanwhile, Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle suggests that trainers could make a final determination on Mixon's status at the team's walkthrough Saturday before the team travels to New England. If Mixon is available and not overly limited versus New England, he'd have a chance to reclaim his lead role in a Houston backfield that also includes Dameon Pierce (who doesn't carry an injury designation), Dare Ogunbowale and Cam Akers.

Texans' Robert Woods: Ruled out against Patriots
Woods (foot) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Patriots.
Woods will sit out after being unable to practice in any capacity throughout the week. Houston's also missing Nico Collins (hamstring), so Xavier Hutchinson will join Stefon Diggs and Tank Dell in three-wide sets.

Texans' Joe Mixon: Status in question for Sunday
Mixon (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game in New England.
Mixon cobbled together back-to-back limited practices to cap Week 6 prep, potentially setting himself up for his first game action since Week 2, when he initially sprained his right ankle. Fellow RB Dameon Pierce (hamstring) has been cleared ahead of Sunday's contest after logging full sessions Thursday and Friday, so he may be the leading candidate for RB reps if both he and Mixon are active this weekend. Mixon's status will be confirmed about 90 minutes before a 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff.

Texans' Jimmie Ward: Expected out Sunday
Ward (groin) is not expected to play Sunday against the Patriots, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Ward sat out a second consecutive practice Thursday after aggravating a pre-existing groin injury during Week 5's win over Buffalo. It's the same injury the forced the safety to miss Week 4 against Jacksonville. Apparently, per league sources, Ward could miss multiple games. Calen Bullock is expected to replace Ward, who has 17 tackles and one pass defensed over four games.

Texans' Robert Woods: May be out Week 6
Woods (foot) is in line to miss Sunday's game at New England, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Woods showed up on the Texans' practice report last week due to a foot injury, which sidelined him Thursday, limited his reps Friday and resulted in a questionable tag for Week 5 action. He suited up this past Sunday against the Bills and played 24 percent of the snaps, but he also wasn't targeted for the third time in five games this season. It appears Woods may have aggravated the issue, considering he hasn't practiced this week and now is trending toward his first absence of the campaign. Friday's injury report ultimately may rule him out for Week 6.
