Fatukasi (ankle) carries no injury designation into Saturday's AFC wild-card game against the Chargers, DJ Bien-Aime of ESPN.com reports. Fatukasi missed the final three games of the regular season due to an ankle injury that he suffered against the Dolphins in Week 15. He opened the week with consecutive limited practices but finished strong with a full session Friday. Barring any setbacks, Fatukasi should start alongside Tim Settle at defensive tackle in Saturday's playoff opener.
Fatukasi (ankle) was a limited participant in Tuesday's practice, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. Fatukasi missed the entire month of December with the ankle injury and played just six snaps since Week 10. The starting defensive tackle is expected to suit up for Saturday's playoff game against the Chargers. He brings a valuable run-stopping presence to the defense.
Fatukasi (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Titans. Fatukasi hasn't played since Week 15 and has logged just six defensive snaps since Week 10, missing six of the last seven games to close out the regular season. He was unable to practice all week, so it's unclear if he'll be able to return for next weekend's playoff opener. Tommy Togiai, Tim Settle, Kurt Hinish and Mario Edwards have been soaking up the snaps on the interior of Houston's defensive line.
Fatukasi (ankle) was a non-participant in practice Wednesday. Fatukasi missed Weeks 11-13 with a foot issue before returning Week 15 versus Miami following Houston's bye. However, he suffered an ankle injury against the Dolphins and has been sidelined for each of the Texans' subsequent two contests. Fatukasi hasn't practiced since hurting his ankle, so his ability to suit up for Sunday's season finale versus Tennessee is certainly in question.
Fatukasi (ankle) did not practice Tuesday and has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against Baltimore. Fatukasi will miss a second straight game due to an ankle injury he suffered during the Texans' Week 15 win over the Dolphins. His next opportunity to play will be in Houston's regular-season finale against Tennessee on Sunday, Jan. 5. Tommy Togiai, Tim Settle and Mario Edwards should all see increased snaps at defensive tackle Wednesday due to Fatukasi's injury.
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.
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.
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.
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.
