Kurt Hinish still isn’t ready to make his 2024 debut for the Houston Texans.
The Texans updated their injury report and ruled Hinish out for Sunday’s matchup against the New England Patriots. He will not travel with the team to Gillette Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
Hinish, a third-year defensive tackle out of Notre Dame, was placed on the injured reserve after training camp with a calf injury. Houston chose to begin his 21-day recovery window last week, but he’s been limited at practice.

Thursday marked the end of the first week that Hinish was a full-time participant in practice, but the Texans are being cautious with his return.
Last season, Hinish finished with 22 tackles, two tackles for loss and a sack. Running back Joe Mixon will travel with the Texans, meaning there’s a strong chance he’ll play tomorrow.
Kickoff is scheduled for noon CT.
