Texans Thursday injury report: Will Anderson misses second day

The Detroit Lions are set to travel to Houston for a Sunday night showdown with the Texans. They may also end up facing a Texans team that won’t have one of their star defensive linemen.

Second-year edge rusher Will Anderson missed his second straight day of practice with an ankle injury. Anderson injured his ankle during last Thursday’s loss to the New York Jets. Unless something changes Friday, Anderson is starting to look unlikely to play Sunday.

In addition, wide receiver Nico Collins has yet to be activated from injured reserve with his hamstring injury and could also miss yet another game. Collins has been out since originally suffering the injury in Week 5 against the Buffalo Bills.

Defensive end Derek Barnett did return to practice after missing Wednesday. He is listed with injuries to his calf and shoulder.

Also not practicing Thursday were guard Kenyon Green (shoulder), defensive tackle Foley Fatukasi (groin/shoulder), running back Dameon Pierce (groin) and linebacker Jake Hansen (ankle).
