Texans inactives: Dameon Pierce, Noah Brown out vs. Cardinals

The Houston Texans will be without two important offensive players and a pair of linebackers as they take on the Arizona Cardinals at home on Sunday. They released their inactive list 90 minutes before kickoff and there weren’t really any surprises.

Starting running back Dameon Pierce, ruled out with an ankle injury for the third straight week, and receiver Noah Brown, questionable with a knee injury, were both deactivated.

Brown exploded for over 150 receiving yards in each of the last two games, both Texans wins.

Here are their inactives:
