Texans downgrade TE Jordan Akins, S Jahleel Addae to out versus the Chiefs

The Houston Texans have downgraded TE Jordan Akins and S Jahleel Addae to out versus the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC divisional on Sunday.

The Houston Texans have announced that safety Jahleel Addae and tight end Jordan Akins have been downgraded to out versus the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC divisional at Arrowhead Stadium.

Addae was originally questionable with a knee while Akins was questionable with a hamstring.

The Texans will have to rely on safeties A.J. Moore and Mike Adams to fill the void. They are already down a starting safety with Tashaun Gipson on injured reserve with a transverse process fracture in his back.

Second-year tight end Jordan Thomas has an opportunity to step up with Akins out. Darren Fells, the other tight end, is also questionable.
