Texans RB Duke Johnson (neck) is questionable for this weekend's game against the Colts. He was limited on Wednesday and sidelined on Thursday and Friday. RB C.J. Prosise (ankle) is also listed as questionable. If both guys are out, David Johnson could handle 100% of Houston's RB touches.

Texans RB Duke Johnson (ankle) isn’t listed on the final Week 4 injury report. He’ll return for Sunday’s game against the Vikings but figures to see just a handful of touches behind RB David Johnson.

The Texans expect WR Brandin Cooks (quad) to play today against the Ravens, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. He's listed as questionable but appears to be about the same as last week -- when he played through a questionable tag. Cooks only caught 2 balls in that game and gets probably an even tougher matchup with Baltimore. We'd try to go in another direction if you can.

Texans RB Duke Johnson (ankle) is not expected to play against the Ravens today, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. So David Johnson is a good bet to handle 100% of Houston's RB touches. He's a fine RB2, despite the tough matchup.

Texans RB Duke Johnson has been diagnosed with a sprained ankle, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Johnson's availability for Week 2 "is now in question," Schefter adds.

Texans RB Duke Johnson suffered a leg injury in Thursday night's opener in Kansas City and didn't return. We'll look for an update on his status. Johnson's absence would mean more work for RB David Johnson, who looked good in his Texans debut. Buddy Howell is currently the only other RB on the roster.

The Texans "won't take any chances" in their game against the Titans this afternoon, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport tweets. Houston will have "several starters on the sidelines even if they aren’t inactive," per Rapoport. That might change if the Chiefs lose to the Chargers in the 1 pm ET time slot, giving the Texans a shot to climb into the #3 seed. But if Kansas City wins, don't expect to see much of QB Deshaun Watson or WR DeAndre Hopkins. WR Kenny Stills and RBs Carlos Hyde and Duke Johnson could also be limited.
