The Houston Texans are playoff-bound and set to face the Pittsburgh Steelers on the road. This will mark the first time in franchise history that the Texans enter the postseason as a Wild Card team. In every previous playoff appearance, Houston qualified as a division winner.
This matchup could turn into a defensive battle, but both teams have enough offensive firepower to make things very interesting.
Here is a look at Friday’s injury report:
-RB Jawhar Jordan (Ankle)
-CB Derek Stingley Jr. (Oblique)
-DT Sheldon Rankins (Elbow)
-LT Aireontae Ersery (Thumb)
-S Jaylen Reed (Forearm)
-LB Jamal Hill (Calf / Wrist)
-OT Trent Brown (Ankle / Knee)
-OL Tytus Howard (Ankle)
-CB Kamari Lassiter (Knee / Ankle)
-DE Denico Autry (Knee)
From a health standpoint, the Texans are in a good place overall. The only notable concern is running back Jawhar Jordan, who suffered an injury on a hip-drop tackle against the Colts. If he’s unable to go, Nick Chubb and Dare Ogunbowale would be in line to see increased snaps.
