Offensive tackle Trent Brown (knee/wrist) hit the practice field for the Texans on Thursday, but it felt like one step forward and two steps back with the rest of the injury report. It’s good to see the big man back, even on a limited basis after missing Wednesday’s work, but the overall picture for the team’s health is still a mess.
The Mixed Bag of the Practice Field
Brown’s return was definitely a bright spot in what was otherwise a pretty concerning day for the Texans. While he got some limited reps, safety M.J. Stewart went the other way, sitting out practice entirely on Thursday with a knee injury after being limited just a day prior. On the flip side, defensive end Logan Hall (knee) was a full participant, which is solid news. Safety Reed Blankenship (thumb) also remained a full participant, which is always nice to see.
Still Stuck on the Sidelines
Unfortunately, the injury list still runs deep, and these guys are barely getting started. Defensive end Jadeveon Clowney (knee), wide receiver Nico Collins (hamstring), linebacker Jake Hummel (groin), and offensive guard Ed Ingram (groin) all sat out practice again. Collins’ situation is especially rough: he tweaked that hamstring last week in practice, missed the Week 2 loss to the Bengals, and is probably gonna miss another game. With so many key guys still out or limited, the Texans’ fight is definitely an uphill one this early in the season. We’ll see who can actually suit up next game.
