One of the most intriguing games of the week features the 5-1 Houston Texans. They're on the road in Week 7 to take on the 4-2 Green Bay Packers.
Both teams are off to a fast start, but the Texans are easily in first place in the AFC South whereas the Packers are at the bottom of the highly competetive NFC North. This will be the third time the Texans face a team from the NFC North.
Houston defeated the Chicago Bears in Week 2 but lost to the Minnesota Vikings in Week 3. That remains their only defeat this year, and they're coming off their best offensive outing, dropping 41 on the New England Patriots.
Offense shouldn't be an issue for Houston with Joe Mixon back. Defensively, however, they might have some concerns due to injuries. With five players listed as out, four of them are defenders. That makes it easy for them to decide who will be inactive. Before we look at the list of who is out for each team, let's check out the injury report.
