Texans, Lions Face Key Player Injuries

The Detroit Lions will be without linebacker Jalen Reeves-Maybin due to a neck injury sustained in Week 9, while starter Malcom Rodriguez is also out, leaving Trevor Nowaske and Ben Niemann to take on increased roles. For the Houston Texans, defensive end Will Anderson Jr. is ruled out with an ankle injury, limiting their pass rush against a strong Lions offensive line. Additionally, the Texans face uncertainty with star wide receivers Nico Collins and Tank Dell both listed as questionable for the matchup. With a record of 6-3, the Texans are looking to regain momentum but face significant injury challenges as they prepare for the 7-1 Lions. The absence of key players could hinder Houston's playoff aspirations.
