It's hard to believe, but it's already Week 12 in the 2024 NFL season. The Houston Texans have had a solid campaign, heading into the weekend with a record of 7-4.
They struggled through a three-game stretch of prime-time contests. That included a Week 9 loss to the New York Jets and a Week 10 loss to the Detroit Lions. They ended those night contests with a win over the Dallas Cowboys in Week 11.
One of the primary reasons they were defeated twice in a row had to do with injuries. The Texans sent Nico Collins to the IR after a hamstring injury in Week 5. While he was out, Stefon Diggs tore his ACL, leaving them without their top two receivers against New York and Detroit.

Collins returned in Week 11 and the offense regained some of the explosion we saw early in the season. Thankfully, he isn't the only one returning to health.
The Texans are going to get Will Anderson, Jr. and Kamari Lassiter back as they enter this weekend with a slim injury report.
