JAN 20: Is Nelson Out?The Houston Texans may be without one of their top defensive players for the rest of their Divisional Round game against the Baltimore Ravens at M&T Bank Stadium.
When attempting to make a tackle on a Justice Hill run late in the third quarter, corner Steven Nelson was hit hard in the head and was slow to recover.
After a few moments of being down, Nelson was able to get up and walk off the field on his own.
Nelson was then taken to the sidelines before returning to the locker room to be evaluated for a concussion.
The veteran cornerback has been a key member of the Texans defense this season, recording one of the team’s two pick-six touchdowns against the Browns last week.
JAN 17: NEW PASS CATCHERSNoah Brown, a wideout for the Houston Texans, suffered a shoulder injury in the first quarter of their 45-14 wild-card round win over the Cleveland Browns at NRG Stadium on Saturday. He was placed on injured reserve.
Following Brown’s departure, the Texans signed several receivers, beginning with Steven Sims’ promotion from the practice squad to the active roster, according to reports.
Sims has appeared in three games for Houston this season, totaling three receptions for 25 yards on three targets. Sims has played 44 games in his career, totaling 704 yards and five touchdowns on 78 receptions.
The Texans also added wideout Damiere Byrd to their practice squad.
Byrd has appeared in 76 games over the last eight seasons, catching 130 passes on 206 targets for 1,689 yards and seven touchdowns.
Taylor sustained an injury on January 6. The Houston Texans were on the ropes in Indianapolis thanks to the Colts’ running game, which was led by star back Jonathan Taylor.
Unfortunately for Houston, Taylor’s tough year continued on Saturday, as he was the first to leave the game late in the third quarter with a heel injury.
