(SportsRadio 610) - The Texans have officially ruled out receiver Nico Collins, safety Jimmie Ward and running back Dameon Pierce along with fullback Andrew Beck, kicker Ka'imi Fairbairn, tight end Brevin Jordan as well as linebacker's Jake Hansen and Henry To'oTo'o.
Veteran defensive end Jerry Hughes, who hasn't been on the injury report all week, is listed as questionable with a back injury despite practicing in full on Friday.
Texans starting receiver Robert Woods (foot) could miss his third game of the season has been trending in a positive direction all week and practiced in full on Friday.
Cornerback Derek Stingley Jr. was back at practice for the first time since injuring his hamstring during a week two loss to the Indianapolis Colts and has been a full participant the past two days.
Whether or not he'll be available for Sunday's game against Cincinnati remains to be seen, but his presence would be a major boost to a secondary that is going to be without veteran safety Jimmie Ward (hamstring) and potentially the Texans best cornerback Steven Nelson (back/neck).
Nelson was seen working on a side field away from the team Friday morning. The nine-year veteran hasn't practiced all week, which isn't a great indicator that he'll be able to contribute on Sunday in Cincinnati as players that haven't practiced on Thursday's particularly, have not played in games this season for the Texans.
For the Bengals, star receiver Ja'Marr Chase (back) and Tee Higgins (hamstring) have been dealing with injuries this week. Higgins, who tweaked his hamstring during practice on Tuesday, has already been ruled out for Sunday along with defensive end Sam Hubbard.
Chase, the Bengals leading receiver this season, has hauled in 64 passes for 697 yards and four touchdowns is officially listed as questionable heading into Sunday.
