Hunter to miss Browns matchup as Texans list Anderson as questionable
Houston has ruled out five players, while six others carry questionable designations for the game against Cleveland.
Houston will face the Browns without defensive end Danielle Hunter, who has been ruled out with a hamstring injury. The Texans designated fellow edge rusher Will Anderson Jr. as questionable because of an ankle injury, leaving open the possibility that both could miss the game.
Hunter and Anderson each missed practice after participating on a limited basis in the preceding session. Anderson's status leaves his availability unresolved, while Hunter is one of five Houston players confirmed out.
Also unavailable are receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. (hamstring), offensive lineman Keylan Rutledge (neck/shoulder), linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair (groin/personal) and tight end Brevin Jordan (finger/foot).
The questionable group also includes running back David Montgomery (groin), guard Wyatt Teller (back/illness), cornerback Jaylin Smith (hamstring), offensive tackle Trent Brown (illness/wrist) and linebacker Jacob Hummel (groin).
Houston removed five players from its injury report, with each set to play: receiver Tank Dell (hand/shoulder), safety Reed Blankenship (concussion/hand), running back Woody Marks (knee), offensive tackle Blake Fisher (thumb) and defensive tackle Tommy Togiai (elbow/shoulder).
