Houston Texans: Brock Osweiler, DeAndre Hopkins on injury report
By Randy Gurzi
Two big names popped up on the Thursday injury report for the Houston Texans as quarterback Brock Osweiler and receiver DeAndre Hopkins are dealing with nagging issues
If the Houston Texans hope to get their first road win of the season, they will need all hands on deck. They need their entire team to show up and be at their very best.
Whether or not that can happen is now in question as both quarterback Brock Osweiler and receiver DeAndre Hopkins showed up on the team’s injury report on Thursday according to Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle.
Wilson reported that a foot injury was bothering Osweiler, but he was a full-participant still.

It’s not clear where or when the injury was suffered by Osweiler and the team also has not commented on the severity of his injury. He would have to be dealt a huge setback to miss the Monday Night Football game against his former team, the Denver Broncos.
As for Hopkins, Wilson reported that the star wide out was a limited participant as he deals with a hamstring issue. The team expects to have his running mate, Will Fuller back on Monday, after he also suffered a hamstring injury.
There is no word on the severity of Hopkins’ injury either, but the hope is that he will not have to miss a game like Fuller was forced to.
Other players who showed up on the injury list were safety Quintin Demps (calf), running back Jonathan Grimes (cracked fibula) and inside linebacker Brian Peters (quadriceps).
Those guys were all non-participants and will more than likely miss the game against the Broncos. There were other players who were limited, but should make the game.
