Anderson (ankle) did not practice Saturday and has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Cowboys. Anderson has not practiced since injuring his left ankle in Week 9 against the Jets. His next chance to play will be against the Titans on Sunday, Nov. 24. With Anderson sidelined Monday, Derek Barnett and Denico Autry will continue to see increased snaps at defensive end alongside starter Danielle Hunter.
Anderson, who sat out Friday's practice due to an ankle injury, is considered unlikely to play Week 11 at Dallas on Monday night, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. If this news holds, Anderson will miss a second straight game, but he is not a candidate for injured reserve. Wilson reports his recovery from a high-ankle sprain is going well. The Texans hope he can return within the next few weeks in preparation for the stretch run in December. A host of depth defensive linemen replaced Anderson in last week's loss to the Lions.
Anderson (ankle) was listed as a DNP on Thursday's injury report, DJ Bien-Aime of ESPN.com reports. Anderson has been unable to practice since injuring his ankle during the Texans' Week 9 loss to the Jets. The 2023 first-round pick will have two more chances this week to practice in at least a limited capacity to give himself a shot at playing Monday against the Cowboys. Denico Autry and Derek Barnett will continue to see increased reps on defensive alongside Danielle Hunter for as long as Anderson is sidelined.
Anderson (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Lions. It's no surprise that Anderson won't suit up Sunday, as he was unable to practice all week after sustaining an ankle injury in the Texans' Week 9 loss to the Jets. Houston could struggle rushing the passer in Week 10 without Anderson, especially against a Lions offensive line that has allowed just 19 sacks in eight games this season. Derek Barnett will likely start opposite Danielle Hunter on the Texans' defensive line while Anderson is sidelined.
Anderson (ankle) didn't practice Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. Anderson sustained an ankle injury in the Texans' Week 9 loss to the Jets, and Wednesday's DNP suggests the issue could be serious. The 2023 Defensive Rookie of the Year likely needs to upgrade to at least limited participation Thursday or Friday in order to suit up for Houston's Week 10 matchup against the Lions. If Anderson is unable to do so, expect Derek Barnett to see additional work with the Texans' first-team defense.
Anderson is questionable to return to Thursday's game against the Jets due to an ankle injury, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. Anderson suffered the injury in the first half and was examined in the medical tent. He remained on the sideline and was spotted testing his ankle by making cuts on simulated snaps, though he may not be able to return to the game. His absence would be a big blow to both the Texans' pass rush and run defense.
Anderson recorded seven tackles, including 1.0 sacks and a fumble recovery in Sunday's 23-20 win over Indianapolis in Week 8. Anderson dealt with a chest injury during the practice week but was cleared of any restrictions well before gametime. The sack upped his season total to 7.5 and established a new career high; Anderson had 7.0 sacks over 15 games during his rookie 2023 season.
Anderson (chest) was a full participant during Thursday's practice session. Anderson was limited during Wednesday's practice due to a chest injury, but he was able to practice Thursday without restrictions. Barring any setbacks, the 2023 first-round pick should be good to go for Sunday's game against the Colts. Through the first seven games of the regular season, Anderson has logged 20 tackles (15 solo), including a team-high 6.5 sacks, and one pass breakup.
Anderson (chest) was limited during practice Wednesday. Anderson played his typical percentage of snaps in Sunday's loss to the Packers, but it appears the 2023 first-round selection may have suffered a chest injury in the process. Any absence Sunday against the Colts for the Alabama product would be a significant blow, so his status for Thursday and Friday will be worth monitoring.
