Suits up but doesn't play
Coutee dressed but did not play in Sunday's 51-31 divisional-round playoff loss to the Chiefs.
Analysis: Coutee finished out the season being a healthy inactive or a DNP in six of the final eight games, including both postseason contests. A promising, if injury-marred rookie season turned sour in 2019, as head coach Bill O'Brien lost confidence in the Texas Tech product. Coutee finished with 22 catches (36 targets) and rushed for a touchdown. He has another two years remaining on his contract, but the Texans will return all of their current crop of wideouts except DeAndre Carter. That leaves…read more

Dresses but doesn't play
Coutee was on the active roster for Saturday's playoff game against the Bills but did not play.
Analysis: Will Fuller V (groin) was inactive, but Coutee watched DeAndre Carter (55 snaps, 80 percent) handle the third wideout role in Houston's playoff victory. It was the seventh time in the last 10 games that Coutee did not play, including three games in which he suited up but did not get off the bench. The Texans are hopeful Fuller will be available for next Sunday's divisional-round matchup against the Chiefs in Kansas City.

Out once more
Coutee (coach's decision) is inactive for Saturday's game against the Buccaneers.
Analysis: With Will Fuller (hamstring) active, Coutee will be relegated to the bench for a second consecutive week as the Texans will have just four wide receivers -- DeAndre Hopkins, Fuller, Kenny Stills and DeAndre Carter -- available Saturday in a pivotal postseason-clinching chance against the Buccaneers.

Back to inactive list
Coutee (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Titans.
Analysis: While Will Fuller (hamstring) was sidelined in the Week 14 loss to Denver, Coutee handled a regular role in three-receiver sets, playing 71 percent of the offensive snaps and finishing with five catches for 68 yards on eight targets. Unfortunately, the second-year wideout's otherwise strong stat line was blemished by a lost fumble that Denver returned for a touchdown. With Fuller back in action Sunday, the Texans will keep return man DeAndre Carter active as their fourth receiver over Coutee,…read more

Loses fumble in return to lineup
Coutee caught five of eight targets for 68 yards and lost a fumble in Sunday's 38-24 loss to the Broncos.
Analysis: Coutee's fumble was a costly one, as it was returned for a touchdown by Denver's defense. He finished second to DeAndre Hopkins in receiving yards, coming up four yards short of his Week 5 season high. Depending on how the coaching staff views his fumble, Coutee is in danger of being relegated to a healthy scratch, which was the case in the two games preceding this one.

Back in action Sunday
Coutee is active for Sunday's game against the Broncos after being a healthy scratch the last two weeks, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Analysis: Coutee will re-enter the mix Sunday, with Will Fuller out with a hamstring injury. He figures to work behind DeAndre Hopkins and Kenny Stills, a context that makes Coutee a Week 14 dart in PPR formats.

Likely to suit up Sunday
Coutee could see regular work alongside DeAndre Hopkins and Kenny Stills in three-receiver sets Sunday against the Broncos with Will Fuller (questionable, hamstring) considered unlikely to play, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Analysis: A healthy inactive the past two weeks following Fuller's return to the lineup, Coutee should get the opportunity to dress in Week 14 after Fuller's hamstring issue nagged him in practices Wednesday through Friday. While DeAndre Carter suited up ahead of Coutee the past two weeks, his main value to Houston comes on special teams. Coutee represents an upgrade from Carter in the slot, so the second-year wideout should have a chance to put himself back on the map in what's been a disappointing…read more

Inactive Sunday
Coutee (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's night's game against the Patriots.
Analysis: Now that Will Fuller is back in the mix, it looks like it's going to take an injury to either DeAndre Hopkins, Fuller or Kenny Stills for Coutee to find his way back on to the Texans' active list.

Back to inactive list
Coutee (coach's decision) is inactive for Thursday's game against the Colts.
Analysis: Will Fuller's (hamstring) return from a three-game absence looks like it will be enough to bump Coutee to the inactive list, as Houston will go with four wideouts in Week 12. Though Coutee played 44 offensive snaps to DeAndre Carter's four in Sunday's loss to Baltimore, the latter's standing as the team's top return man allowed him to maintain an active status over Coutee.

Has support of his QB
Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson said he's pleased to see Coutee back on the field following a two-game benching, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Analysis: Coutee had a rough stretch during which he dropped a pass that was intercepted in a loss to the Colts and committed mental mistakes that prompted a benching for Weeks 8 and 9. Following the bye week and a good week of practice, Coutee was back on the field for Week 11's loss to Baltimore, when he caught three passes for 25 yards. "It's always good to get Keke back out there and get his confidence up," said Watson, who has connected with Coutee for 16 receptions and 179 yards on 25 targets. "You…read more

Reasons for benching become clear
Houston head coach Bill O'Brien said Coutee had done a good job of paying greater attention to detail this week in practice leading up to Sunday's loss to the Ravens, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Analysis: Coutee caught three passes for 25 yards Sunday, his first game action since a Week 7 loss to the Colts. It was during that loss to Indianapolis that Coutee had a costly drop and landed himself in the doghouse. The reason for Coutee's two-game benching was not clear until O'Brien's post-game admission. His good week of practice puts Coutee back to third on the depth chart, ahead of DeAndre Carter, as the Texans prepare for a Thursday night showdown at home against the Colts. Coutee's relevance…read more

Trio of catches in Week 11 loss
Coutee secured all three of his targets for 25 yards in the Texans' 41-7 loss to the Ravens on Sunday.
Analysis: Coutee served as the clear No. 3 receiver Sunday with Will Fuller's (hamstring) absence bumping Kenny Stills up to the No. 2 role once again and DeAndre Carter not seeing a target in the contest. Coutee's numbers were modest, however, and he's surpassed 39 receiving yards in just one game this season. The slot receiver will look to put up better numbers against the Colts in a Week 12 Thursday night matchup, but he'll bump down to the No. 4 spot, at minimum, whenever Fuller returns to action.

Clawing out of doghouse
Coach Bill O'Brien said Friday that Coutee "did a good job" in the Texans' practices this week, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Analysis: O'Brien didn't clarify how that comment relates to his plans for Coutee in Sunday's game against the Ravens, but the second-year wideout would seem to have a good shot at avoiding an inactive status for the third contest in a row. In addition to his apparently positive work in practice, Coutee is aided by the fact that fellow receiver Will Fuller (hamstring) is listed as questionable for the game. Even if Fuller is ultimately ruled out, Coutee would likely rank no better than fourth in the…read more

No snaps in second straight game
Coutee dressed but did not play in Sunday's 26-3 win over the Jaguars.
Analysis: This is the second straight week that Coutee dressed but did not get off the sideline. The 2018 fourth-round draft pick has dropped out of the offense without warning. DeAndre Carter has moved ahead of him on the depth chart and is serving as the third wideout while Will Fuller (hamstring) is sidelined.

Stuck on sidelines Week 8
Coutee dressed but did not play in Sunday's 27-24 win over Oakland in Week 8.
Analysis: Coutee was a beneficiary of playing time when Will Fuller (hamstring) was removed from Week 7's loss to the Colts, so it was surprising to see DeAndre Carter get those snaps a week later. There has been no indication of an injury on Coutee's part. Unless the team clarifies the situation, the assumption should be that Carter is the No. 3 wideout while Fuller remains sidelined.

Stays relevant with Stills return
Coutee caught three of five targets for 25 yards and rushed for a four-yard touchdown in Sunday's 30-23 loss to Indianapolis in Week 7.
Analysis: With Kenny Stills returning from a two-week absence due to a hamstring injury, Coutee was headed back to fourth on the depth chart, but he benefited from Will Fuller's hamstring injury on the first series of the game. Coutee primarily plays the slot, so he's not a direct 1-for-1 replacement for Fuller. That role goes to Kenny Stills whenever Fuller is injured. The touchdown was Coutee's first of the season.

Has season-high snap count
Coutee caught four of six targets for 39 yards in Sunday's 31-24 win over the Chiefs in Week 6.
Analysis: With Kenny Stills (hamstring) unavailable for a second straight week, Coutee played a season-high 47 snaps in the win. He's caught seven of 10 targets for 111 yards as the fill-in No. 3 wideout. As the Texans prepare for a Week 7 meeting with the division-rival Colts, Wednesday's practice session will provide the first read as to whether Coutee or Stills will be third option behind DeAndre Hopkins and Will Fuller.

In line for targets
Coutee is expected to serve as the Texans' No. 3 receiver Sunday against the Chiefs with Kenny Stills (hamstring) on track to sit out the contest, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Analysis: While Stills sat out the Week 5 win over the Falcons, Coutee acted as his main replacement and logged 72 yards on four targets. Coutee could be in line for a similar role Sunday in what should be a high-scoring contest.

Capitalizes on Week 5 opportunity
Coutee caught three of four targets for 72 receiving yards during Sunday's 53-32 win against the Falcons.
Analysis: The second-year wideout was thrust into a prominent offensive role with Kenny Stills (hamstring/ankle) being ruled inactive hours before kickoff, and he delivered with his greatest receiving output since Week 11 of last season. Coutee showed flashes of fantasy prominence with three performances of five-plus receptions and 50 or more receiving yards as a rookie, but ultimately he saw his season derailed by a hamstring injury. Currently standing as the No. 3 or 4 wideout in Houston's offense…read more

Opportunity knocks
With Kenny Stills (hamstring/ankle) inactive, Coutee is expected to see an increased role Sunday against the Falcons, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Analysis: Coutee is off to a slow start this season, with just three catches for 18 yards in three games, but he has an opportunity to create some positive momentum Week 5, with Stills out. He'll work out of the slot Sunday, in conjunction with fellow receivers DeAndre Hopkins and Will Fuller, a context that could garner Coutee a degree of PPR utility Sunday.

Waiting on Stills
Coutee could receiving increased playing time against the Falcons in Week 5, depending on the status of Kenny Stills' hamstring injury, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Analysis: The Texans are still evaluating the status of Stills, who was removed from Week 4's loss to the Panthers in the second quarter. The deeper into the week this state of uncertainty lingers, the greater the chance for Coutee to become a significant part of Houston's passing attack. He played a season-high 40 offensive snaps (58 percent) with three targets while filling in for Stills against the Panthers.

Enters for injured Stills
Coutee caught one of three targets for 11 yards and had one carry for 10 yards in Sunday's 16-10 loss to the Panthers in Week 4.
Analysis: Coutee played a season-high 40 snaps after moving up the depth chart to replace the injured Kenny Stills (hamstring) in the second quarter. Stills' status for Week 5 against Atlanta is unclear, pending a more thorough examination by the Texans' medical staff. Coutee is quite familiar with the offense and can fill in but does not possess Stills' high-end speed.

Falls behind Stills
Coutee wasn't targeted in Sunday's win over the Chargers.
Analysis: Coutee has clearly fallen behind Kenny Stills on the depth chart, as Stills played 32 snaps of 60 possible snaps (53 percent) while Coutee played just 17 (28 percent). Stills made his workload count as well, hauling in four of six targets for 89 yards. Coutee, a fourth-round pick in 2018, has the ability to stretch the field like Stills with a 4.43-second 40-yard dash, but he's simply being outplayed by the veteran. Unless injuries surface, Coutee's usage figures to be limited for the…read more

Not endorsed by coach
Coach Bill O'Brien said Coutee was "OK" in Sunday's 13-12 win over Jacksonville, noting that the wide receiver showed some rust after missing Week 1 with an ankle injury, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Analysis: The less-than-enthusiastic response is noteworthy given the presence of Kenny Stills on Houston's roster. Stills has plenty of experience working the slot, and he played nearly as many snaps (25) as Coutee (29) in Sunday's win. The former Dolphin is sitting at 5-75-1 on six targets through two games, while Coutee managed just two catches for seven yards on four targets in one appearance. One player should eventually emerge over the other for the No. 3 receiver job, but it could be another split…read more

Coutee caught two of four targets, managing seven receiving yards during Sunday's 13-12 win against the Jaguars.
Analysis: The second-year receiver out of Texas Tech was close to playing in Week 1 against New Orleans coming off an ankle injury, but his 2019 debut ultimately came in this AFC South showdown against Jacksonville. Coutee, and the Texans receiving corps as a whole for that matter, was held in check by the Jaguars' secondary in Week 2, but the upcoming matchup against Los Angeles is much less intimidating than it normally would be, given the absence of reigning AFC All-Pro strong safety Derwin James…read more

Analysis: Prior to being inactive Week 1 at New Orleans, Coutee was listed as limited on all three of the Texans' injury reports, the result of a sprained ankle from the team's preseason opener. He progressed to full showings in each session this week, but despite the lack of designation, coach Bill O'Brien cautioned that Coutee won't necessarily be active.

Logs full practice
Coutee (ankle) participated fully in Wednesday's practice, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Analysis: Coutee was reportedly very close to playing in Monday's loss to the Saints, so his full participation Wednesday bodes well for his chances of suiting up Sunday against the Jaguars. If Coutee is available in Week 2, it's possible that he'd be eased into action, given that Kenny Stills filled in capably in Week 1 behind top wideouts DeAndre Hopkins and Will Fuller.

Has 'chance' to play Week 2
Coach Bill O'Brien said Koutee (ankle) was "very close" to playing in Monday's 30-28 loss to the Saints and noted the wideout has "a chance" to make his season debut Week 2 versus the Jaguars, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Analysis: Coutee's outlook for the divisional matchup likely won't come into focus until Friday, when the Texans release their final injury report of the week. The wideout failed to advance past limited participation in practice at any point last week while managing the sprained right ankle that has inhibited him for the past month. With that in mind, Coutee may need to turn in a full session at some point Wednesday through Friday for the Texans and fantasy managers alike to feel more confident about his…read more

Week 1 status TBD
Coutee, who has been dealing with a sprained ankle that he suffered in the Texans' preseason opener, is iffy for Monday night's game against the Saints, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Analysis: Coutee has been able to practice in a limited capacity, but coach Bill O'Brien indicated that the receiver's Week 1 status has yet to be determined. "Touch and go, practiced," O'Brien noted of Coutee. "There's a possibility. He did some decent things. We'll have to see how it goes. It's a long season.

Coutee (ankle) was limited at practice Thursday, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Analysis: The report suggests that the wideout remains a question mark for Monday night's game against the Saints, but Coutee does at least have a couple more days worth of practice to make his case to play in the game. With Will Fuller bouncing back from an ACL injury and Coutee seemingly/perpetually having trouble staying on the field, the Texans recently added Kenny Stills to their receiving corps via a trade with Miami.

O'Brien used the phrase "not hopeful" and later said he was "not sure" if Coutee would suit up.

Looking shaky for Week 1

"I think Keke is trending in the right direction; still not sure about the first game," O'Brien said Friday. "I think I was unequivocal at banquet about him not playing. I can change my mind."
Analysis: O'Brien's quote from Friday is a bit more optimistic than what he said Tuesday, though it still sounds like Coutee is no better than 50-50 to play in the regular-season opener. The 22-year-old returned to practice Monday, presumably in a limited capacity. A Week 1 absence would free up the No. 3 receiver job for DeAndre Carter or Vyncint Smith.

Won't play Thursday
Coutee (ankle) won't suit up for Thursday's preseason game against the Rams, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Analysis: Coutee appears to be making progress in his recovery from an ankle injury suffered during Houston's first exhibition game Aug. 8, but doesn't yet appear ready to go. The second-year wideout dealt with a series of hamstring injuries as a rookie, so it's possible that Houston will opt to hold Coutee out of Thursday's contest as a precaution even if he is healthy.

Unable to practice Saturday
Coutee (ankle) did not practice Saturday, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Analysis: Coutee sustained a minor ankle injury during the team's preseason loss to the Packers, but the wide receiver was considered unlikely to practice until sometime early next week. It's possible the 22-year-old could lose some playing time to the newly acquired running back Duke Johnson, who has repeatedly gone on record about his affection for running routes in the slot, but that possibility seems unlikely unless Coutee's injury lingers longer than the aforementioned timeline.

Ankle injury considered minor
Coutee picked up a minor ankle injury during Thursday's preseason loss in Green Bay, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Although Coutee was in visible pain at the end of a punt return and carted to the locker room, the Texans will breath a sigh of relief with this news. He managed just six appearances as a rookie in 2018, so the team likely will take a cautious approach with a month remaining until the regular season opener Sept 9 in New Orleans.

Aims to stay on the field
Coutee's top goal heading into the coming campaign is to play the Texans' full slate of games, Aaron Reiss of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: The Texans won all six regular-season games Coutee played in last season, a span in which the 2018 fourth-rounder caught 28 passes for 287 yards and a TD. Now presumably past the nagging hamstring injury that hampered him as a rookie, Coutee will direct his focus to preparing for his second NFL season. Last year, much of his offseason routine centered on preparing for the pre-draft process, an approach that wasn't optimal relative to his transition to the pro game.

Stars in featured role
Coutee (hamstring) caught 11 of 14 targets for 110 yards and a touchdown during Saturday's 21-7 loss to the Colts.
Analysis: Coutee stepped into a featured role with DeAndre Hopkins limited by a shoulder injury, finishing with a new career high in receiving yardage. He didn't make many big gains, but a whopping target share and a six-yard touchdown catch in the fourth quarter helped him to a huge performance. Coutee was crippled by injuries during his rookie season, but he flashed his potential -- as well as a strong rapport with DeShaun Watson -- on several occasions. If he can remain healthy in 2019, Coutee is a…read more

Returns to action
Coutee (hamstring) is listed as active Saturday against the Colts.
Analysis: The expectation of active status for Coutee has come to pass, per Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle and Adam Schefter of ESPN. Coutee thus will be making his first appearance since Week 12 and just his third overall since Week 7. In addition to working behind target hog DeAndre Hopkins, Coutee may be hard-pressed to produce against a Colts defense that allowed just three wide receiving corps to surpass 100 yards through the air over the final eight games of the regular season.

Good to go Saturday
Coutee (hamstring) is expected to be active for Saturday's wild-card matchup with the Colts, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Coutee was a full participant in practice Wednesday through Friday, signalling his potential return from a five-game absence due to a nagging hamstring injury. It's unclear whether Coutee will work opposite DeAndre Hopkins or if the Texans will move DeAndre Carter to the outside in order to allow Coutee to reclaim his customary role in the slot, but either case should only help a receiving corps that has lost Will Fuller (knee), and more recently, Demaryius Thomas (Achilles), to season-ending…read more

Coutee (hamstring), who is listed as questionable for Saturday's wild-card matchup with the Colts, is expected to play, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Analysis: Coutee has missed the Texans' last five games with the hamstring injury, a recurring issue that also sidelined the rookie for three- and two-game stretches earlier this season. Though coach Bill O'Brien labeled the wideout a game-time decision for the playoff contest when he met with the media Thursday, Coutee's outlook appears to be in a better place than it was in prior weeks.

Questionable for wild card
Coutee (hamstring) is considered questionable for Saturday's wild-card game against the Colts. Coach Bill O'Brien noted earlier in the day that Coutee "has a shot" to play, but he'll be a true game-time decision, per Aaron Reiss of The Athletic
Analysis: Coutee has participated fully in each of the three practice sessions this week, so it's a bit surprising that his status is still considered up in the air for the contest. Given his participation level and the gravity of the game, there are multiple reasons to believe he will give it a go. Still, we likely will have to wait until game-day inactives surface to learn his fate.

Logs full practice Wednesday
Coutee (hamstring) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Analysis: Listed as a full participant on consecutive days, Coutee appears ready to return from his five-game absence for Saturday's playoff matchup with the Colts. He roasted the Indianapolis secondary for 11 receptions in his NFL debut back in Week 4, but he's otherwise been limited by hamstring injuries throughout his rookie season. Coutee should get most of his work in the slot, pushing DeAndre Carter either outside or to the bench.

Logs rare full practice
Coutee (hamstring) was listed as a full practice participant Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Analysis: Coutee hasn't logged many full practice sessions this season and hasn't played in a game since Week 12. The upgrade suggests he's on track to return for Saturday's playoff game against the Colts, potentially facing a defense that he caught 11 passes against in his NFL debut back in Week 4. Coutee's return would likely result in a reduced role for DeAndre Carter, who caught 19 of 22 targets for 182 yards the last five weeks.

Could return for playoffs
Coach Bill O'Brien believes Coutee (hamstring) has a shot to play in Saturday's playoff game against Indianapolis, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports. "Definitely, I think he's trending that way," O'Brien said. "I think there's a shot. We have to see how he looks in practice on a day-to-day basis, but there's a shot there."
Analysis: O'Brien has essentially said the same thing about Coutee all season, consistently labeling the rookie as "day to day" even when he didn't seem to have much chance to play. The Texans took a more aggressive approach earlier in the season, eventually opting for caution when Coutee repeatedly aggravated his hamstring injury. The team could shift back to the aggressive approach for the playoffs, especially after the rookie slot receiver had the past five weeks to rest. Coutee burnt the Colts for an…read more

Earns 'questionable' tag
Coutee (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus the Jaguars.
Analysis: Coutee's practice reps have been impacted for much of his rookie season by a lingering hamstring issue, and this week was no different, when he was limited on each of Houston's injury reports. With a questionable tag, he at least enters the weekend with a chance to play, but the Texans may opt to hold him out for a fifth consecutive contest with an eye toward the postseason. In that case, DeAndre Carter would benefit out of the slot.

Limited again in practice
The Texans listed Coutee (hamstring) as a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
Analysis: The activity level represents no change from Wednesday and essentially the entire season, as Coutee has missed games on three different occasions as a result of hamstring issues. Unless he puts in a full practice Friday, there may not be a clear indication of what direction Coutee's status is trending in for Sunday's game against the Jaguars. DeAndre Carter would operate as the Texans' primary slot man if Coutee's latest hamstring setback ultimately forces a fifth consecutive absence.

Will not travel to Philadelphia
Coutee (hamstring) is out heading into Sunday's contest against the Eagles.
Analysis: Both Coutee and running back Lamar Miller have been downgraded from their respective Friday questionable statuses, thus limiting the Houston offense heading into a pivotal matchup. In the case of Coutee, who will miss his fourth consecutive game, DeAndre Carter will once again take over as the slot wide receiver. In the last three weeks, Carter has been targeted 10 times, and that figure could be even higher if not for a Week 14 concussion which he sustained early in the first half.

Coutee is expected to be out until he is fully healed from his third hamstring injury of the season, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Analysis: Coutee has missed a total of eight games over three separate stints while dealing with a hamstring injury that he's been unable to shake. He's questionable heading into Sunday's game, which implies he's not fully recovered. So, that means we could see DeAndre Carter fill in as the starting slot receiver against the Eagles in Week 16.

Listed as questionable for Week 16
Coutee (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Eagles after practicing in a limited fashion all week.
Analysis: Coutee last played Nov. 26 and hasn't practiced fully since that time, making his status a tough one to predict heading into Sunday's 1 p.m. EST kickoff. Even if Coutee is cleared to play when the Texans release their inactive list 90 minutes prior to game time, it's unclear how heavily he would be utilized. DeAndre Carter is a candidate to garner snaps out of the slot if Coutee sits out again or is limited.

Analysis: O'Brien and his players pay a visit to Philadelphia on Sunday to take on the suddenly relevant Eagles, a contest for which injured Texans will be considered game-time decisions. Coutee has suited up just twice in seven attempts since Week 7, so O'Brien should be taken at his word regarding the rookie wide receiver, barring his designation getting removed entirely during Week 16 prep.

Analysis: The rookie wideout has been out for the last two games with the hamstring issue, which previously sidelined him from Weeks 1 through 3 and for Weeks 8 and 9. Since experiencing his latest setback, Coutee hasn't been able to advance beyond limited practice participation, so he may need to put in a full workout at some point before Friday to back up O'Brien's optimism.

He did have a surprisingly large role in his three relatively healthy appearances, catching 20 of 27 targets for 193 yards and a touchdown in those games. The rookie will now take a bye week to get some rest, hoping to return for a Week 11 contest at Washington. His comments suggest we shouldn't expect a return to games until he logs at least…read more

Won't play Sunday
Coutee (hamstring) was downgraded from questionable to out for Sunday's game against the Broncos.
Analysis: Coutee was given the questionable tag after being limited in practice this week and was expected to be a game-time decision, but now won't even travel with the team to Denver. Newly acquired Demaryius Thomas is likely to see a heavy snap share in Coutee's absence, but may not be heavily involved as he continues to learn the playbook and establish a rapport with quarterback Deshaun Watson. Running back Tyler Ervin could also see increased opportunities as a slot receiver, while DeAndre Hopkins…read more

Game-time decision for Sunday's game
Coutee (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Broncos.
Analysis: Coutee was able to practice in a limited fashion all week, but he's still viewed as game-time decision ahead of Sunday's contest, which kicks off at 4:05 p.m. EST, per Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle. If he's able to play this weekend, Coutee would work in a receiving corps that no longer includes Will Fuller (out for season with torn ACL), but was fortified by the trade-deadline acquisition of Demaryius Thomas. Once he's back up to speed, Coutee will retain a key role in the Texans'…read more

Week 9 status to be decided Saturday
Coach Bill O'Brien said Friday that the Texans will work Coutee (hamstring) out on Saturday to determine his availability for Sunday's matchup with the Broncos, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Analysis: Coutee was able to get some work in at the Texans' first two practice sessions of the week, so it's likely he'll do the same Friday. Regardless how much he does Friday, though, it appears the Texans will wait another day to make a call on his Week 9 availability. Their decision may not be announced until the team releases its inactive list approximately 90 minutes prior to the 4:05 p.m. EST kickoff.

Logs limited practice
Coutee (hamstring) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
Analysis: After sitting out the Texans' Week 8 win over the Dolphins, Coutee has opened up the current week with back-to-back limited showings in practice. He'll probably need to put in a full session Friday to avoid an injury designation heading into Sunday's contest against the Broncos, but his presence on the field in some capacity provides optimism about his chances of playing. Once he gets over the hamstring issue, Coutee will face a threat to his targets in the form of trade-deadline pickup…read more
