The Houston Texans are up for a tall task as they head north to take on the Green Bay Packers in Week 7. Sitting at 5-1 on the season, the Texans’ record could take a hit if they’re not ready to roll into Lambeau Field on Sunday. Should they win, though, they’d be off to their best start in a season since 2012.
The Texans are gearing up for the contest, though their injury report was just as length on Thursday as it was on Wednesday, with only one limited participant practicing in full in the club’s second practice. Here’s Thursday’s practice report:
DNP:
- LB Azeez Al-Shaair, knee
- WR Robert Woods, foot
- CB Kamari Lassiter, shoulder
- LB Henry To’oTo’o, concussion
- DB Jimmie Ward, groin
- DL Foley Fatukasi, shoulder
LP:
- RB Joe Mixon, ankle
- LB Del’Shawn Phillips, hip
