  • Texans' Jake Hansen: Good to go for Saturday

    Hansen (ankle) doesn't carry an injury designation into Saturday's wild-card playoff game against the Chargers, DJ Bien-Aime of ESPN.com reports.

    Hansen was injured in the Week 18 regular-season finale against the Titans and missed the remainder of the contest. He upgraded from DNP on Tuesday to limited Wednesday and then full Thursday, avoiding a designation altogether. Mainly a special-teams asset, Hansen played just 134 defensive snaps during the regular season.

    Hansen (ankle) is active for Sunday Night Football against the Lions.

  • Texans' Jake Hansen: Questionable for Sunday

    Hansen (ankle) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Lions.

    Hansen appears to be trending toward not playing in Week 10, as he opened the Texans' week of practice with a limited session but followed that with back-to-back DNPs. If Hansen can't play through his ankle issue Sunday, Jamal Hill will likely serve as Houston's top middle linebacker.

  • Texans' Jake Hansen: Logs limited session Wednesday

    Hansen (ankle) practiced in a limited fashion Wednesday.

    It appears the Illinois product picked up an ankle injury in the Texans' Week 9 loss to the Jets, despite playing 18 special-teams snaps. Hansen's participation in practice Thursday and Friday will likely be the best indicator of whether he can play through the pain in Sunday's matchup against the Lions.

  • Texans' Jake Hansen: Logs seven stops vs. Packers

    Hansen recorded seven total tackles (four solo), including one tackle for loss, in Sunday's 24-22 loss to the Packers.

    The Illinois product filled in for the injured Henry To'oTo'o (concussion) and played well, finishing third on the Texans in total tackles. Hansen has now played 181 total snaps (67 defensive and 114 on special teams) and recorded 15 total tackles in six appearances this season. He's expected to continue serving as one of the Texans' top backup inside linebackers as the year progresses.

  • Texans' Jake Hansen: Not practicing yet

    Hansen (back) did not practice Wednesday.

    Hansen missed Sunday's win over the Bills with the injury and remains sidelined for the start of Week 6 prep. His absence to start the week casts a shadow of doubt on his ability to return against New England; however, as an exclusive special teams contributor, his potential to sit out wouldn't impact the Texans' defensive game plan.
