Houston Texans vs. Minnesota Vikings, Week 3 injury report: Wednesday

Multiple players for the Houston Texans were either out or limited during Wednesday’s practice in preparation for Sunday’s showdown against the Minnesota Vikings.

The good news? The Vikings were limited with several key players during reps.

Running back Joe Mixon was among several players missing from practice after suffering an ankle injury during Sunday’s 19-13 win over the Chicago Bears. The Pro Bowler underwent an MRI on Monday and is expected to be a game-time decision depending on the severity of the injury.

The Texans plan to send film of the potential hip-drop tackle, which was not ruled a penalty during Sunday night’s game, to the NFL office for review. Mixon, who in Week 1 rushed for 159 yards and led the league in yards per attempt, tweeted out his frustration for the missed call.

Receiver Nico Collins (hip/foot), running back Dameon Pierce (hamstring), center Juice Scruggs (groin), defensive tackle Foley Fatukasi (shoulder), cornerback Kris Boyd (hip) and offensive lineman Jarrett Patterson (calf) did not practice.

Linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair (shin), tight end Dalton Schultz (ankle) and safety M.J. Stewart (knee) were limited.

“It’s really heartbreaking losing Brevin,” Ryans said. “He was on his way to a breakout year. I was really excited with where he was heading. Cade (Stover), Dalton Schultz will have to step up to fill that role.”

For Minnesota, receiver Jordan Addison (ankle), tackle Brian O’Neill (ankle) and rookie outside linebacker Dallas Turner (knee) did not practice. All-Pro receiver Justin Jefferson was limited in practice after suffering a quad injury in Sunday’s 23-17 win over the 49ers.

As of now, he’s expected to play.
