Texans' British Brooks: Not returning
Brooks (knee) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Bills.
Brooks will finish out Week 5 on the sidelines after operating as the team's No. 3 option in the backfield and seeing work on special teams.

Texans' Jimmie Ward: Will not return
Ward (groin) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Bills.
Ward exited before the end of the first half after aggravating a groin injury that had him questionable coming into the day. In his continued absence, Eric Murray and Calen Bullock will see extra opportunities on the field.

Texans' Nico Collins: Won't be back Sunday
Collins (hamstring) won't return to Sunday's game against the Bills.
Collins thus finishes up the day with two catches for 78 yards and a TD. In his absence, Stefon Diggs and Tank Dell are in line to lead the Texans' WR corps versus Buffalo, with Robert Woods, Xavier Hutchinson and John Metchie also in the mix.

Texans' Jimmie Ward: Leaves game early
Ward (groin) has exited Sunday's game against the Bills.
Ward was questionable for the matchup due to the same injury but ultimately suited up for the contest. The Northern Illinois product seemingly aggravated the injury in the second quarter, after compiling two tackles, including one for a loss. He's considered questionable to return Sunday.

Texans' Nico Collins: Injures hamstring Sunday
Collins exited Sunday's game against the Bills with a hamstring injury.
Prior to that, Collins caught both of his targets for 78 yards and a TD. In his absence, Stefon Diggs and Tank Dell are slated to lead the Texans' Week 5 WR corps, with Robert Woods, Xavier Hutchinson and John Metchie available to mix in.

Texans' British Brooks: Leaves game early
Brooks (knee) has exited Sunday's game against the Bills.
Brooks has primarily worked on special teams, but he has seen a few snaps on offense with Joe Mixon (ankle) and Dameon Pierce (hamstring) out of action. His absence may lead to extra opportunities for J.J. Taylor

Texans' Steven Sims: Healthy scratch
Sims (coach's decision) is inactive Sunday against the Bills.
Sims had been operating as the Texans' return man but may have lost the job after a muffed punt last Sunday against the Jaguars. He finished the Week 4 matchup in the role, but he clearly won't handle it in Week 5. Tank Dell and Robert Woods are the most likely candidates to take over return duties for Houston.

Texans' Dylan Horton: Set to make season debut
Horton (illness) is active for Sunday's game against the Bills, Texans TV Host Drew Dougherty reports.
Horton is cleared to make his season debut after starting the campaign on the reserve/non-football illness list. The 2023 fourth-round pick is expected to rotate in behind Will Anderson and Danielle Hunter in Week 5.

Texans' Tytus Howard: Won't play Sunday
Howard (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Bills.
Howard was added to the injury report Thursday and didn't practice Friday, so it's not surprising to see him miss his first game of the season. In Howard's absence, Blake Fisher will make his first NFL start at right tackle.

Texans' Jake Hansen: Inactive Sunday
Hansen (back) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Bills.
Hansen will miss his first game of the season due to a back injury. He's played exclusively on special teams this season, so his absence shouldn't impact Houston's defense.

Texans' Cam Akers: In line for another start
Akers is expected to serve as the Texans' starting running back due to Joe Mixon (ankle) and Dameon Pierce (hamstring) being inactive for Sunday's game against the Bills.
While Mixon and Pierce remain sidelined for their third and fourth straight games, respectively, Akers appears poised to lead the Houston backfield once again, with Dare Ogunbowale and J.J. Taylor on hand behind Akers for change-of-pace work. In the team's 24-20 win over the Jaguars last weekend, Akers carried 13 times for 53 yards and was not targeted in the passing game. Meanwhile, Taylor logged six carries for 18 yards and Ogunbowale rushed twice for seven yards and caught all four of his targets for 47 yards and a touchdown.

Texans' Robert Woods: Active for Sunday's game
Woods (foot) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Bills.
Woods didn't practice Thursday, but after returning to a limited session field Friday, he approached the contest listed as questionable. Now that his active status has been confirmed, Woods -- who has caught three of five targets in four games to date for 28 yards -- is slated to return to a complementary role in Houston's offense, with Tank Dell (chest) back in action after a one-game absence and set to reclaim his key role alongside fellow WRs Nico Collins and Stefon Diggs.

Texans' Dameon Pierce: Won't play Sunday
Pierce (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Bills.
Pierce practiced Friday for the first time since sustaining a strained hamstring ahead of Week 2 action and approached the contest listed as questionable. With both Pierce and Joe Mixon (ankle) still sidelined, look for Cam Akers to continue to lead Houston's backfield versus Buffalo, with Dare Ogunbowale a candidate to see change-of-pace work and J.J. Taylor and British Brooks available to provide the Texans with Week 5 backfield depth.

Texans' Dylan Horton: Set to return
Horton (illness) was activated from the reserve/non-football illness list Saturday.
Horton is expected to play Sunday against the Bills, according to Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston, who suggests the TCU product will be rotating in behind Will Anderson and Danielle Hunter in Week 5. The 24-year-old's return comes after he was diagnosed with Stage 4 Hodgkin's lymphoma last November, while he's been in remission since some point this past summer.

Texans' Robert Woods: Likely to play Sunday
Woods (foot) is in line to suit up in Sunday's Week 5 contest versus Buffalo, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Woods popped up on the injury report this week due to a foot injury. He didn't practice Thursday but was able to participate in a limited fashion Friday, which looks to have been enough for him to take the field Sunday. Woods isn't likely to see extensive opportunities since Nico Collins, Stefon Diggs and Tank Dell are all healthy and ahead of him in the receiver pecking order.

Texans' Dameon Pierce: Likely to miss another week
Pierce (hamstring) is listed as questionable but isn't expected to play in Sunday's game versus Buffalo, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Pierce hasn't played since Week 1, when he logged just nine offensive snaps and carried three times for 16 yards against Indianapolis. His return Sunday would be well-timed since Joe Mixon has been ruled out for a third straight week due to ankle injury, but Pierce doesn't look as though he'll be able to help buoy the Texans' running back corps. Cam Akers is likely to lead Houston's backfield again, with Dare Ogunbowale serving as his primary backup. Official word on Pierce's status will arrive when the Texans release their inactive list 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff.
