As announced earlier in the week, quarterback C.J. Stroud, nickel Jalen Pitre, and kicker Ka'imi Fairbairn will all be sidelined for the second straight week for their respective injuries.

Stroud's absence leaves veteran Davis Mills in line to start for another game after last week's win over the Jacksonville Jaguars, where he threw for nearly 300 yards and tapped in for three total touchdowns.

Damon Arnette, Harrison Bryant to Join on Sidelines

Along with that trio, the Texans have also ruled out a couple of depth pieces in cornerback Damon Arnette and tight end Harrison Bryant. Arnette has been elevated to the active roster since October, but will miss this weekend after being a sudden DNP at Friday's practice, while Bryant will be forced to the side with a neck/shoulder ailment.

However, the Texans do have a noteworthy status update surrounding their second-year tight end, Cade Stover, who's officially listed as questionable for this weekend in Tennessee for the first time since going down with a broken foot in Week 1 vs. the LA Rams.

Titans Have Multiple Key Names of Note

On the flip side, the Titans have several top players listed on their injury report before their second outing against Houston. Stars Calvin Ridley, Jeffrey Simmons, and Arden Key are both listed as questionable before kickoff with their respective injuries and will be names to monitor before kickoff.

Veteran safety Xavier Woods is someone who's already been ruled out before the weekend gets started, though–– now out for what will be his second-straight week of action.
