Folorunso Fatukasi Latest News
Won't play against Kansas City
Fatukasi (ankle) did not practice Thursday and has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Chiefs. Fatukasi injured his ankle during the first half of the Texans' 20-12 win over the Dolphins this past Sunday. The injury prevented him from participating in practice all week, and his next opportunity to play will be Christmas Day against the Ravens. Tim Settle, Mario Edwards and Tommy Togiai will all see increased snaps at defensive tackle Saturday due to Fatukasi's injury.
Won't return versus Miami
Fatukasi (ankle) was downgraded to out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Dolphins. Fatukasi sustained an ankle injury during the first half that will leave him sidelined for the remainder of the game. His next chance to play will come Saturday versus the Chiefs. With Fatukasi out, Mario Edwards and Tommy Tagiai will step up into bigger roles alongside defensive tackle Tim Settle.
Questionable to return Sunday
Fatukasi has an ankle injury and is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Dolphins. The defensive tackle made one solo tackle before exiting. Fatukasi has 24 tackles (16 solo), including 1.0 sacks, on the year. Tommy Togiai and Mario Edwards are the next men up at defensive tackle.
Ready for Sunday
Fatukasi (foot) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Dolphins. The 29-year-old defensive lineman has missed the Texans' last three games due to a foot injury sustained in early November. However, he practiced in full Friday after opening the week with consecutive limited sessions, so it appears he's moved past the issue in time to suit up in Week 15. Expect Fatukasi to serve as one of the Texans' starting defensive tackles in his return Sunday.
Won't play against Jacksonville
Fatukasi (foot) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Jaguars. Fatukasi suffered a foot injury in Week 10 against the Lions, and he has not been able to practice since the injury. With Fatukasi missing his third straight game, Mario Edwards will likely serve as Houston's second starting defensive tackle Sunday alongside Tim Settle.
DNP with foot injury
Fatukasi (foot) did not practice Wednesday. Fatukasi was injured in last Sunday's loss to the Titans and was unable to return to the game. Mario Edwards, Tim Settle and Tommy Togiai paced the interior of the Texans' defensive line in playing time without Fatukasi last week.
Won't return Sunday
Fatukasi (foot) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Titans. The 29-year-old missed the Texans' Week 11 win over the Cowboys and was unable to practice all week due to a foot injury, so it's no surprise he won't be suiting up Sunday. Expect Mario Edwards to see additional work with Houston's first-team defensive line in Fatukasi's stead in Week 12.
Estimated as DNP
Fatukasi (foot) was listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's practice estimation. Fatukasi was sidelined for the Texans' Week 11 win over the Cowboys on Monday night after sustaining a foot injury the week prior, and Wednesday's estimated DNP suggests he could be in jeopardy of missing even more time. If the veteran defensive lineman cannot upgrade to at least limited participation either Thursday or Friday, he'll likely miss Houston's divisional matchup against the Titans in Week 12.
Ruled out for Week 11
Fatukasi (foot) has been ruled out for Monday's game against Dallas. Fatukasi injured his foot during the Texans' Week 10 loss to the Lions, which has been severe enough for him to miss practice all week. The 2018 sixth-round pick will work on making his return for Week 11 against Tennessee on Sunday, Nov. 24. Kurt Hinish will join Tim Settle as the Texans' starting defensive tackles Sunday in Fatukasi's absence.
