Injuries have been too much of a focal point for the Houston Texans over the past two seasons. They’ve continued to deal with more than their fair share of injuries and have had to find a way to replace several key starters.

Heading into Week 8, they finally had some good fortune. While they’re not able to bring Nico Collins back from the IR just yet, they did have one starter return to the lineup. Rookie Kamari Lassiter was dealing with a scapula fracture suffered in the Week 5 win over Buffalo.

He missed the past two games but will be back in the lineup, starting across from Derek Stingley. His return will be huge for the secondary that was playing lights out for three weeks from Week 2 through 5.
