Texans' Matt Ammendola: Reverts to practice squad
Ammendola reverted to Houston's practice squad Monday.
Ammendola made all three of his field-goal attempts and his only extra-point try in Sunday's win over the Broncos as continues to fill in for Ka'imi Fairbairn (quadricep). Fairbairn is now eligible to come off injured reserve, but head coach DeMeco Ryans said he was still uncertain if Fairbairn will be ready for the upcoming game versus the Jets, so Ammendola could be in line to play once again.

Texans' Tank Dell: Out for season
Coach DeMeco Ryans confirmed Monday that Dell will miss the remainder of the season after undergoing surgery on the broken fibula he suffered in Sunday's 22-17 win over the Broncos, Ben Arthur of Fox Sports reports.
Dell finishes his rookie season with 47 catches for 709 yards and seven touchdowns on 75 targets in 11 games. He also had 51 rushing yards on 11 attempts. Dell and C.J. Stroud were on pace to challenge all-time production records for a rookie quarterback-receiver duo, so Dell's future remains bright if he can make a full recovery, but his absence for the remainder of the season will complicate the 7-5 Texans' path to the playoffs. Noah Brown, Robert Woods and John Metchie likely will all see increased usage behind Nico Collins in Dell's absence.

Texans' Jarrett Patterson: Won't return this season
Patterson (lower leg) is out for the remainder of the season, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Patterson was expected to miss between six and eight weeks after undergoing surgery to repair a fractured fibula, which would put him in line to return in late December or early January. However, it appears that the Notre Dame will fall on the latter end of that timeline and ultimately not return in his rookie campaign.

Texans' Tank Dell: Undergoes surgery for broken fibula
Dell underwent successful surgery Monday to repair a fractured left fibula, Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Dell sustained the injury late in the first quarter of the Texans' 22-17 win over the Broncos on Sunday, when he got tangled up with other players while blocking on Dameon Pierce's three-yard touchdown run. The Texans haven't yet confirmed that Dell fractured his fibula, nor has the team offered up a timeline for his recovery from surgery, but injuries of this sort typically require a 6-to-8-week healing period, according to Alexander. With that in mind, Dell looks set to miss the rest of the season, and even a return to action in the playoffs may be unrealistic, unless the Texans not only clinch a postseason spot but also make a run to the divisional round. Moreover, the Texans have the ability to activate just one more player from injured reserve this season, and kicker Ka'imi Fairbairn (quadriceps) looks to be the best candidate, as he could be ready to play as soon as this Sunday versus the Jets. As such, if Dell is moved to IR, it will likely spell an end to his rookie campaign. The 24-year-old has been one of the most productive first-year wideouts in the league, as he's put together a 47-709-7 line on 75 targets through 11 appearances.

Texans' Will Anderson: Big effort in win
Anderson recorded five tackles including two sacks, four total quarterback hits and one pass defensed in Sunday's 22-17 win over the Broncos in Week 13.
Anderson had the type of impact game Houston expected when it selected him third overall in the 2023 Draft. The rookie edge rusher had plenty of quarterback pressures and hits coming into Sunday, but Anderson's sack total lagged. The two QB takedowns versus Denver give him 5.0 for the season.

Texans' Derek Stingley: Two picks in win
Stingley had two interceptions and four passes defensed in Sunday's 22-17 win over the Broncos in Week 13.
Stingley recorded two of three interceptions, as Houston's defense was pivotal in the win. His first pick, late in the third quarter, set up Houston on a short field and led to its final touchdown. The second-year cornerback later intercepted a deep ball to Courtland Sutton. Stingley has four interceptions over the last three games.

Texans' Matt Ammendola: Ten points in win
Ammendola converted all three field-goal attempts and his lone extra-point try in Sunday's 22-17 win over the Broncos in Week 13.
Ammendola nailed three chip shots from 29, 38 and 38 yards and recorded a second double-digit performance in four weeks as a replacement for Ka'imi Fairbairn (quadriceps). It's looking like Fairbairn may return Week 14, so Ammendola's stretch of fantasy relevance may be coming to end.

Texans' Robert Woods: Zero targets in win
Woods played 32 snaps and was not targeted in Sunday's 22-17 win over Denver in Week 13.
Woods saw a season-low snap count, even though Tank Dell was limited to nine snaps following a season-ending leg injury. Noah Brown joined Nico Collins as the top two receivers after Dell left the contest, and John Metchie (24 snaps, three targets) was near Woods in terms of playing time. Woods opened the season as a starter at wideout alongside Collins but had dropped to fourth on the depth chart prior to Dell's injury. Woods did have an eight-target game as recently as Week 11, however.

Texans' John Metchie: Could see bump in role
Metchie caught one of three targets for nine yards in Sunday's 22-17 win over the Broncos in Week 13.
Metchie was on the field for 24 snaps, his second-highest total this season, with his bump in usage coming due to Tank Dell sustaining a season-ending leg injury. Noah Brown, who returned after missing two weeks due to a knee injury, should also see an uptick in targets as the Texans navigate the rest of the season without Dell.

Texans' Noah Brown: Quiet in return
Brown failed to catch either of his two targets in Sunday's 22-17 win over Denver in Week 13.
Brown returned from a two-week absence due to a knee injury and played 55 snaps (81 percent), tied with Nico Collins for most at wideout. Prior to the injury, Brown played a crucial role in wins over Tampa Bay and Cincinnati, catching 13 of 14 targets for 325 yards and a touchdown. The Texans will need a return to that form after Tank Dell suffered a season-ending leg injury Sunday. Brown is not a direct replacement for Dell's field-stretching ability, but he's expected to get more balls thrown his way as a result of the injury. Robert Woods and John Metchie could also get increased looks.

Texans' Brevin Jordan: Enjoys best game of season
Jordan caught three of four targets for 64 yards in Sunday's 22-17 win over the Broncos in Week 13.
Jordan elevated to the top of the tight end depth chart with Dalton Schultz (hamstring) sidelined and played a season-high 51 snaps. His pass-catching ability has never been questioned, but Jordan does not provide the run-blocking ability to be an every-down player in a lot of offenses. Depending on Schultz's status for Week 14 against the Jets, Jordan could get more opportunities again next week. Additionally, a season-ending injury to Tank Dell (leg) could lead to more targets even if Schultz is ready to go next week.

Texans' Davis Mills: Enters for two snaps
Mills completed his lone pass attempt for 18 yards in Sunday's 22-17 win over Denver in Week 13.
Starting quarterback C.J. Stroud was ordered to the sidelines for evaluation following a quarterback sneak during the fourth quarter. Mills was needed for two plays before Stroud reentered the contest. Mills handed off to Dameon Pierce then fired an 18-yard strike to Nico Collins. He's played just three snaps all season.

Texans' C.J. Stroud: Briefly leaves game
Stroud was checked for concussion symptoms and missed two plays during Sunday's 22-17 win over the Broncos, Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Stroud was a bit wobbly after being helped up following a 3rd-and-1 quarterback sneak during the fourth quarter and left the game to be checked. Davis Mills replaced him under center for two plays before Stroud re-entered the contest. It was the second time this season that Stroud was checked for symptoms, but he's missed just three plays. Mills handed off to Dameon Pierce and completed an 18-yard pass to Nico Collins before heading back to the sidelines. Stroud took a number of shots Sunday, as the Broncos sacked him three times and delivered eight quarterback hits overall.

Texans' Devin Singletary: Role slips in victory
Singletary rushed the ball eight times for 36 yards in Sunday's 22-17 win over the Broncos. He added one reception on one target for four yards.
Singletary entered Sunday having seen double-digit touches in six straight games. However, that streak ended as he fell behind Dameon Pierce in terms of workload Sunday, with Pierce drawing 15 touches to Singletary's nine. The Texans held a comfortable lead for much of this matchup, which led to a game script that fell more into Pierce's style. In games that Houston falls behind, Singletary may see his role increase again, but his volume appears to be unreliable for the time being.
