5 Video Views·Sep 27, 2026
We just got some huge last-minute injury updates as the Houston Texans are 24 hours away from a huge week 3 matchup
Can this team still prove that they are contenders or will they fall to 0-3 on the season?
What's up, ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to Texans digest. I'm your host as always Isaac Estrada
We're about 24 hours away from a huge week 3 matchup for the Houston Texans, man
Let's dive right into that injury report and all the upcoming news
But before we get into that man about 90% of you guys still not subscribed
So do your boy favor hit that subscribe button. You're gonna be getting daily updates here on Texans digest. Let's dive right into it, man
So we had talked about it yesterday some players that we thought were doubtful headed into this Sunday's matchup
The injury report officially has dropped. We have our answers now
Let's dive right into it starting off with the Houston Texans. So Reid Blankenship is gonna play
I will say there was some people that I was seeing that were like dang it bro Reid Blankenship is gonna play
Come on come on wish the best for our guy
I think Reid Blankenship is gonna get better as the season goes on wish the best for him
Number two on the list or should I say number 12 Nico Collins is out. We knew that he was doubtful
still sustaining that grade one hamstring injury, I
Think we're gonna dive into it later next week, but I think he misses this game. We're gonna start dart
We're gonna start diving into the possibilities about trading away Nico Collins
I've seen some people in the previous videos being like no you don't trade him away
Obviously, we can't trade him anyway now while he's injured
But I think if the Houston Texans continue to struggle Nico Collins is a guy that you'd look at and you think okay
What can we get for this guy right now?
Just from my perspective. I think that the Houston Texans need to start exploring those kind of options
Nico Collins is a great wide receiver top ten in the league undisputed when he plays the best available
The best ability is availability. He is yet to be available hardly at all for an entire season
Never actually for an entire season in his career. We're still gonna dive into some of these
MJ Stewart will be out as well
Jake Hummel will be out. We were talking about that growing injury. He was suffering
He will be out same thing with Ed Ingram or excuse me. No, Jake Hummel will not be out
It'll be Ed Ingram Ed Ingram will be out. He was sustaining the growing injury. I got that a little confused
Yeah, Ed Ingram sustained a growing injury. He will be out
We had talked about how that was a bit of a tank to our offensive line that was already struggling
He will be out Trent Brown as well is questionable. I don't think he's gonna play
I've seen inside of the Houston organization. A lot of people are as well saying that he is not going to play
I saw Aaron Wilson say he's probably not gonna play as well and Trent Brown also has been struggling a little bit this season as
well, so
Him not playing. I don't think it's the worst thing in the world a guy like Ed Ingram not playing
However, that's a little bit disappointing Jadavion clowny is out for this game as well
Logan Hall is day-to-day, but I think he will play
I think Logan Hall will be fine and I think he will eventually play Jadavion clowny
We had kind of talked about a little bit in the last video
He's the guy that you know, I think his knee was hurting him or he was having some soreness somewhere else as well
But he's a player, you know, Jadavion clowny's been in this league for 12 years now. He's been in the league for 12 years
He's the kind of guy that you look at now and you know, he has some bumps and bruises
He's taken so much damage throughout his career. He plays one of the most physical positions in all of football
It's he's at that age now where he's gonna start having some of those injuries more oftentimes than we would like to admit
So he's gonna miss this game as well
So it's a few of the players that we already knew we're gonna miss the game at plus guys like James Jake Hubble and MJ
Stewart I
Think that's who that says pull this on the even bigger screen. Yes, MJ Stewart. Okay
So these are the guys who are gonna miss for the Houston Texans
I want to talk about the possibility of why this is going to affect the Houston Texans
But before we dive into that man, we also got the injury report for the Indianapolis Colts
We are diving into this for the first time together as I have not seen this obviously
Ashton
Dublin Dublin a wide receiver for the Indianapolis Colts. We know he's a good go route guy
Sometimes he'll go empty won't have any catches and then the next game
He'll have like three catches for a hundred yards and you're like, we're in the heck. Did this guy come from?
Alec Pierce that is a wide receiver that is gonna be out as well
Obviously you hate to see him being missed out on this game
I was expecting for a great matchup between these two teams yet at the same time. He's a very dangerous wide receiver
He's a guy that can absolutely fry you when you expect it the least
so it's gonna take a little bit of pressure off of Derrick Stingley jr. jr. off of some of our cornerbacks and
Yeah, we need that and also
quarterback
Charvius Ward senior with a growing injury. He's questionable likely gonna be out as well
Sorry, that name is such a tongue twist sometimes man. But yeah, these are the players that are going to be out for the Indianapolis Colts. I
Honestly kind of expected Keenan Allen to be out
I didn't expect him to be full playing but it says he's gonna play says he's ready to go
Sauce Gardner also is going to play. We know he's having some rib injuries, but or some rib issues
But he was full practicing this week. So he will play as well and
For a wide receiver core that's already struggling enough. That doesn't have Nico Collins. That doesn't have tank
Dell it's gonna be interesting to see how that matches up, but that's what we're gonna talk about right now
So, how does this Houston Texan squad face up now following what we know the injury reports Nico Collins is not gonna play
Jadavian clown he's not gonna play at Ingram's not gonna play Trent Brown's not gonna play so that offensive line
He's gonna take a step back as well. I
Cannot stress enough this Houston Texans defense needs to play phenomenally
Daniel Jones last season was it last season that he had a phenomenal year and people were like, where was this?
Danny dimes all along this Houston Texans defense is more than capable of taking care of Daniel Jones more than capable. I
Fully expect this defense to be playing phenomenally against Daniel Jones. Daniel Jones has been a solid quarterback
This defense is way better than him. I
Think this defense can be a lot more than he can handle. We just have to play our cards, right?
Pressure Daniels on the sides Daniel Hunter will Anderson jr. Great at that. Please pressure him on the sides
They're obviously gonna hand it up to Jonathan Taylor more often
I would imagine Jonathan Taylor gets at least like 20 carries in this game
He's probably gonna be heavily going so that defensive line up front as well needs to hang on
I just we really need this defense to lock in at all corners. Obviously, Derek Stingley jr
Kamari Lassiter gotta lock in as well
But I think this defensive line specifically is gonna be what makes or breaks this defense. You got to be phenomenal
Jonathan Taylor will very easily cook up your defense if you don't stop him early last week Chase Brown
He did okay against us, but Jonathan Taylor is much better that's gonna be an interesting matchup
Another thing we need to talk about some people in the last video were giving me a little bit slack
They were giving me a little bit of slack saying that I was absolutely wrong about that
I don't care give the ball to David Montgomery more often give it to him and what he marks
I understand people are saying, you know, what he marks has proven that he's not that he's not the best back in the league
He's not that clear running back number one that generational talent
Of course, he's not but what he marks is still a darn good back and paired with David Montgomery. They can do great things
They just have to get more carries what he marks had eight carries
David Montgomery had six in the last game
We had talked about how good this
defense was and how good this run game can be and you can take pressure off of CJ Stroud and not make him throw it
55 times like he did in the last game if you give it off to David Montgomery a little bit more David Montgomery in his
Last game 80 rushing yards. I get it
It was off of 20 carries still 80 rushing yards three touchdowns. Woody marks also had a great game
I mean not last week week one against the Buffalo Bills
Give it to David Montgomery more often
He needs more than six carries a game and I understand CJ Stroud when when playing the way CJ Stroud does
He can be one of the best quarterbacks on team. He can sing will handily lead the team to win
But what is gonna help him out is the having that run game getting going that offensive line needs to hold up a little bit
maybe they tear they turn away from the off from the run game a little bit more just because of how much that offensive line
is gonna struggle and
Yeah, that is what I have to say about the run game last thing
OOP wrong picture last thing the coaching staff needs to be on point specifically this offense
this offense needs to be I can't I can't express enough how much this offense needs help and
How these coordinators are gonna have to help?
Demiko Ryan's go do your thing man Cole Popovich. I'm looking at you. We need you in a big way this week
run game coordinator
Offensive line coordinator for the Houston Texans Cole Popovich needs to have his guys locked in
Especially if we want that run game to work
Everyone keeps on giving Nick Kaley all the dogpile keep on saying is it time for Nick Kaley to get fired?
I think a little bit more the blame needs to be split between Nick Kaley and Cole Popovich as well
I had said it in yesterday's video. I'm gonna say it one more time
If we lose this game
Immediately, we're gonna start pointing fingers at who needs to be fired
If we lose this game seasons, oh and three or we're oh and three on the season
Everyone's gonna say that that was the that was it you lose to the oh and two Indianapolis Colts. That's it
That stops us from going from Super Bowl contention to man. I hope we can make the playoffs somehow
This has to be it for the Houston Texans. You have to go out there. You have to play some great offensive
offensive ball
Indianapolis Colts showed in their last game that they are that they can keep an offense rolling
They went into overtime with the Kansas City Chief offense that let's get let's get face it Kansas City Chief might be back
So we need this defense to tighten up
We need this offense to get rolling and going on the run game
Don't care what anybody says the run game needs to be there as well
Because if we go oh and three on the season, man
We might have to call it a wraps in terms of how we look at this team
We might have to call it a wraps in terms of Super Bowl contenders
At that point, I'm gonna start pushing for a playoffs
But I'm not gonna be pushing for Super Bowl contenders anymore if we lose this one
Got to get in there got to get a win
We're gonna do final score predictions right now. Usually I have somebody join me for this right now
I'm gonna do it solo which may be better so I can be a little bit more delusional and get away with it
I'm gonna say Houston Texans take the win
I'm still betting on our guys to go out there and show out. I want the Houston Texans to win
We talked about it yesterday that win percentage keeps slowly dropping. I
Think the Houston Texans are gonna pull this one away. Let's say 24 to 17. Let's say 24 to 17
I think the Houston Texans are gonna go away with this one. I think I
Could so see this being a game that at the end of the game. It's close, but you know throughout the game
It wasn't really close
the Houston Texans were always one step ahead always had the wheel on always were in driving position and I can see it being like
24 to 10 and then like in the last two minutes I can see Indianapolis scoring a touchdown and on
Paper, it looks like it was a close game, but we all know really wasn't I can see it shaping up to one of those
Kind of games. That's what I'm gonna say. It's gonna shape up to
If we go oh and three man, I'm sorry last time
I'm gonna say it and then we're gonna wrap this video up if we go oh and three this team is no longer Super Bowl contenders
We are looking at possible playoff calibers if this team goes oh and three
We're gonna start pointing fingers and saying is it Nick Kaley is a Cole Popovich or is it D'Amico Ryan's that is on the hot seat
We go. Oh and three man. It's time to start questioning the coaching staff
I'm gonna hope they don't go in three men
But thank you guys so much for watching today on at Texans digest big week three matchup for the Indianapolis Colts 24 hours away
They got a lock-in and we know CJ Stroud
Has the capabilities man, but when you got the guys like Nico Collins off the field
We need a big game out of it man. Come on. So thank you guys so much for watching today on Texans digest
Have a great day. Have a blessed day. See you guys tomorrow in the postgame
