Johnson lands in an interesting spot in Houston. The WRs are led by Cooks and Collins, but Johnson could easily slip right into the WR3 role once he's acclimated.

The Houston Texans have activated WR Brandin Cooks from the reserve/COVID-19 list and is practicing Wednesday.

Nico Collins will enter as the Texans top receiving option but won’t be worth more than a dart throw against the run-funneling defense of the Los Angeles Chargers.

The Houston Texans have placed WR Brandin Cooks on the reserve/COVID-19 list.

He will need two consecutive negative tests prior to Sunday to play (if vaccinated).

After receiving a limited practice on Friday, Cooks is on track to return Sunday against the Colts. The Texans are also expecting the return of Chris Conley as well as the addition of newly signed Phillip Dorsett for Sunday's game.

Danny Amendola has been ruled out due to a knee injury which will open up targets for Cooks in a underdog setting.

Texans WR Danny Amendola (knee) is out Week 13, while WRs Brandin Cooks (illness), Chris Conley (illness), and RB David Johnson (illness/thigh) are questionable.

Wash your hands!

Texans cut WR KeKe Coutee.

A name that has fluttered on the depth chart now officially out in Houston.

The release of Coutee is a bit of a surprise considering the Texans aren't necessarily loaded at the position. Outside of Cooks, a lot of playing time and targets will be up for grabs and among them should be Collins and Conley at this point.

David Culley did not have an update on the severity of WR Anthony Miller’s shoulder dislocation, but he said he is hopeful Miller will play this season.

The injury was called a “slight dislocation” immediately after the game. Miller previously underwent surgeries on his left shoulder after experiencing dislocations, however this injury was to his right shoulder. This will obviously set him back for any kind of significant playing time upon his return.

The Houston Texans unofficial depth chart on their website lists WR Chris Conley as the second starting wide receiver, according to Aaron Wilson. Anthony Miller and and KeKe Coutee are listed second behind Conley and Brandin Cooks. Nico Collins is as a WR6.

This is not a surprise according to Wilson, but on a team that is unsettled at the position, it is noteworthy to see Conley as a starter. The Texans should be an avoid in all drafts as long as Deshaun Watson is not under center.
