Brooks underwent knee surgery Thursday to repair a torn meniscus, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. Brooks sustained the injury during Week 5's win over the Bills. He is expected to make a full recovery in time for organized team activities next spring.
The Texans placed Brooks (knee) on injured reserve Tuesday. Brooks suffered a knee injury in the Texans' Week 5 win over the Bills this past Sunday. He'll now miss a minimum of four games on the IR list. Brooks appeared in all five games for Houston to open the season, logging nine offensive snaps and another 79 on special teams.
Brooks is expected to be placed on Houston's injured reserve list as he deals with a knee injury, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. The knee issue that he picked up during Sunday's game versus the Bills is apparently a serious one, and it looks like Brooks will have to miss at least four games as he recovers. He's made most of his contributions this year on special teams, so the Texans will need to try to find a way to replace his production in that phase in the meantime.
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.
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
Brooks had one carry for two yards in Sunday's 34-7 loss to Minnesota. Brooks made his debut on offense after serving exclusively on special teams the first two weeks. Even with Joe Mixon (ankle) and Dameon Pierce (hamstring) inactive, Brooks only saw time in the backfield once the game became a blowout.
Brooks made the Texans' initial 53-man roster Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. Brooks, an undrafted free agent out of North Carolina, was a long shot to make the roster heading into training camp but ended up securing a spot. Houston cut all three of its fullbacks and kept Brooks, who had a two-touchdown game against the Giants in the second week of the preseason. It's unclear how the Texans plan to use Brooks, as he could find himself as a healthy inactive on game days if he's unable to carve out a role on the Texans' special-teams units.
Brooks rushed for 23 yards on five carries and two touchdowns in Saturday's preseason game against the Giants. Just like the first preseason game, all of Brooks' activity came in the fourth quarter, which holds more meaning than the two touchdowns. The undrafted free agent out of North Carolina is unlikely to make the roster but could hook on as a member of the practice squad.
