Texans Week 18 injury report: Noah Brown, Jonathan Greenard ruled out
The Houston Texans will already be without two of their starters for Week 18. The team announced Thursday that wide receiver Noah Brown (back) and Jonathan Greenard (ankle) will miss Saturday night’s game against the Indianapolis Colts.
Six others, including defensive end Will Anderson Jr. (ankle), wide receiver Robert Woods (hip) and OT Laremy Tunsil (groin) were listed as questionable.

The loss of both Brown and Greenard are huge blows to the Texans in a win-and-in game this weekend. Brown has been a great receiver in the absence of Tank Dell and Greenard leads the team with 12.5 sacks.
What would be worse, though, is if the rest of the questionable players were also unable to play. Anderson returned in Week 17 and recorded two sacks, while defensive tackle Sheldon Rankins returned a fumble for a touchdown.
Tunsil appears to be the least questionable of the six after two limited practices to end the week. Woods didn’t practice all week, though, while Anderson, Rankins, defensive tackle Maliek Collins and fullback Andrew Beck were all limited Thursday.
