Harris (ankle) is not among Houston's inactives for Saturday's wild-card contest versus the Chargers. Harris has been dealing with an ankle injury for the past three weeks and didn't play in the regular-season finale versus Tennessee. However, he was able to log a pair of full practices to end this week, setting him up to return to action Saturday. With Harris active and likely to start, Neville Hewitt may see less snaps on defense against Los Angeles.

Harris (ankle) is not among Houston's inactives for Saturday's wild-card contest versus the Chargers. Harris has been dealing with an ankle injury for the past three weeks and didn't play in the regular-season finale versus Tennessee. However, he was able to log a pair of full practices to end this week, setting him up to return to action Saturday. With Harris active and likely to start, Neville Hewitt may see less snaps on defense against Los Angeles.
Harris (ankle) is listed as questionable for Saturday's wild-card round game against the Chargers, DJ Bien-Aime of ESPN.com reports. Harris was able to end the week with consecutive full practices, so it appears that he is trending toward playing Saturday after being sidelined for the Texans' Week 18 win over the Titans. Unless he suffers a setback, Harris should start at linebacker alongside Azeez Al-Shaair and Henry To'oTo'o while Neville Hewitt, Jake Hansen and Devin White provide rotational depth.
Harris (ankle) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice. Harris was held out of the Texans' Week 18 win against the Titans due to a lingering ankle injury. His full participation in Wednesday's practice indicates that he should be at or near full health for Saturday's wild-card round game against the Chargers. Harris missed the first 13 games of the regular season due to a calf injury, and in the three games he did play he accrued 20 tackles (13 solo), including 1.0 sacks.
Harris (ankle) was a limited participant in practice Tuesday. The outside linebacker missed Houston's season finale against Tennessee after logging a trio of limited practices last week, but that decision was likely a precaution with the Texans locked into the AFC's No. 4 seed. Harris' status will still be worth monitoring as the practice week continues ahead of Saturday's wild-card matchup with the Chargers. The 2022 third-round pick played on 82, 97 and 68 percent of the defensive snaps, respectively, in the three regular-season games he played in following a December return from a calf injury.
Harris (ankle) is inactive for Sunday's matchup with the Titans. The starting outside linebacker played through the injury last week and then logged a trio of limited practices in the week leading up to this game. His inactive status is likely a precaution ahead of wild-card weekend with the Texans locked into the No. 4 seed in the AFC. Neville Hewitt could see more snaps in his absence Sunday.
Harris (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Titans. Harris logged a trio of limited practices this week and was able to play through the questionable tag last week versus Baltimore, as Harris logged five tackles (four solo) on 70 percent of the defensive snaps in a 31-2 blowout loss. Neville Hewitt would be next up for playing time should Harris be unable to play in Week 18.
Harris (ankle) is active for Saturday's Week 16 clash against Kansas City. Harris popped up on Houston's injury report Thursday when he didn't practice due to an ankle issue after having no designation for each of the first two sessions of the week. Despite the ominous late addition, the third-year linebacker will be able to take the field in Saturday's big AFC battle. Harris made his season debut last Sunday versus Miami following recovery from a calf injury and played 82 percent of the Texans' defensive snaps, recording eight tackles (four solo).
Harris did not practice Thursday due to an ankle injury and is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Chiefs. Harris had been sidelined for Houston's first 13 games of the regular season due to a calf injury. He made his 2024 regular-season debut against the Dolphins this past Sunday and finished with eight tackles (four solo). However, Harris made an appearance on Thursday's injury report, indicating that he may have injured his ankle during practice. That puts his status for Saturday's game in doubt, and whether he plays may not be known until approximately 90 minutes before the 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff when the Texans announce their list of inactive players.
Harris registered eight tackles (four solo) during Sunday's 20-12 win over the Dolphins. Harris missed the Texans' first 13 games of the 2024 regular season due to a calf injury he suffered in July. He ended up playing 51 defensive snaps Sunday and finished as the Texans' third-leading tackler behind Henry To'oTo'o (11) and Jimmie Ward (nine). Harris should see plenty of defensive snaps over the next two games due to the three-game suspension of Azeez Al-Shaair.
