The Detroit Lions (4-6) Week 12 opponent, the Houston Texans (3-7), have released their injury designations ahead of Thursday’s Thanksgiving Day game.
Here’s a look at the Texans’ full injury designations list.
Injury status
| Player | Position | Injury | Designation |
| Josh McCown | QB | Illness | OUT |
| Cullen Gillaspia | FB | Back | OUT |
| Randall Cobb | WR (starter) | Toe | Placed on IR |
| Kenny Stills | WR | Quad | OUT |
| P.J. Hall | DT (starter) | Knee/Shoulder | OUT |
| Laremy Tunsil | LT (starter) | Illness | No Designation |
| Senio Kelemete | LG | Concussion | No Designation |
| Bryan Anger | P (starter) | Quad | Questionable |
Cobb has made a career of beating up on the Lions and Stills’ speed would have surely given the Lions issues, so Detroit catches a break with the two of them missing this game. Unfortunately, the Texans still feature solid wide receiver options, including starters Brandon Cooks and Will Fuller, as well as Keke Coutee, who will likely take over Cobb’s spot.
Tunsil missed last week’s game and Roderick Johnson filled in admirably for him. Tunsil looks ready to go with no injury designation, but if for some reason his illness pops back up again, they have a capable replacement at the ready.
Anger punted through a Quad injury last week and he is expected to play.
