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.

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.
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.
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.
Fatukasi (foot) did not practice Thursday, DJ Bien-Aime of ESPN.com reports. Fatukasi was knocked out of Sunday's game against the Lions due to a foot injury. He'll have two more chances to return to practice ahead of Monday night's game against Dallas. If Fatukasi is unable to play, Kurt Hinish would likely start at defensive tackle Monday alongside Tim Settle.
Fatukasi (foot) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday night's contest against the Lions, Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle reports. Fatukasi suffered a foot injury in the second half of Sunday's game and he'll be forced to miss the remainder of team's matchup with Detroit. In the meantime, Kurt Hinish will continue to see additional snaps at defensive tackle in Fatukasi's absence.
Fatukasi (foot) is questionable to return to Sunday night's game against the Lions. The defensive tackle made two tackles (one solo) before exiting. Fatukasi has 23 tackles (15 solo), including 1.0 sacks, on the year. Kurt Hinish is his backup.
Fatukasi (groin/shoulder) is active for Sunday night's matchup with the Lions. The starting defensive tackle was listed as questionable on Friday's injury report after missing practice all week. Fatukasi likely sustained the injury during Houston's Week 9 loss to the Jets, but it does not appear to be serious enough to force him to miss Week 10. Fatukasi has 21 tackles (14 solo), including 1.0 sacks, this season.
Fatukasi (groin/shoulder) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Lions. Fatukasi hasn't practiced since likely sustaining a groin injury in the Texans' Week 9 loss to the Jets; however, Friday's injury report suggests he still has a chance to suit up Sunday. If the veteran defensive tackle can't play through the pain in Week 10, expect Kurt Hinish to see increased work with Houston's first-team defense.
Fatukasi (groin) didn't practice Wednesday. Fatukasi played 30 defensive snaps and recorded two total tackles in the Texans' Week 9 loss to the Jets, but it now appears he picked up a groin injury in the process. The veteran defensive tackle could be in jeopardy of missing Sunday's matchup against the Lions if he's unable to practice in a limited fashion either Thursday or Friday.
