The Houston Texans is coming off another game they could have won, and things aren’t going to get any easier against the Eagles.
For the second week in a row, the Texans are likely to be without starting wide receiver Nico Collins, starting defensive tackle Maliek Collins, backup safety (and former Eagle) Grayland Arnold, backup linebacker Neville Hewitt, and backup offensive lineman Justin McCray were all ruled out by the Texans.
Three players were ruled questionable by the Texans: starting wide receiver Brandin Cooks, starting linebacker Christian Harris, and starting nickel cornerback Desmond King.
The most notable aspect of all of this is Cooks’ dubious character. He was absent from practice on Tuesday due to personal reasons. Cooks sent a cryptic tweet, raising concerns about his happiness in Houston.
Cooks also missed practice again on Wednesday and is now listed as questionable for the game, which does not bode well for the Texans.
With Nico Collins definitely out and Cooks possibly out, the Texans could be without their top two receivers.
