    Hinish (shoulder) practiced fully Thursday.

    Following Wednesday's limited session, Hinish was able to practice without limitations Thursday, implying that he'll return from his one-game absence this weekend against the Chiefs.

  • Texans' Kurt Hinish: Back in full Thursday

    Hinish (illness) practiced in full Thursday.

    Hinish missed Wednesday's session due to an illness, but his return to Thursday's practice as a full participant indicates the issue isn't a concern. The 300-pounder should continue serving as a rotational piece within Houston's defensive line Sunday against Jacksonville.

  • Texans' Kurt Hinish: Making progress

    Hinish (foot) was able to log a full practice Friday.

    Hinish is still considered questionable for Sunday's contest with the Chargers despite his upgrade from a limited participant Thursday. If he is unable to play, Michael Dwumfour and Thomas Booker will likely continue to see depth work at defensive tackle.

  • Texans' Kurt Hinish: Won't play at Chicago

    Houston downgraded Hinish's (foot) status for Sunday's game at Chicago to out Saturday.

    The undrafted rookie out of Notre Dame has surprisingly played a somewhat significant role in the Texans' defense through two games this season, but he'll sit out Week 3 as he recovers from a foot injury. Fellow rookie Thomas Booker should see increased reps in Hinish's absence.

  • Texans' Kurt Hinish: Gets snaps with first-team defense

    Hinish had three tackles, all for a loss, including a sack in Thursday's preseason finale against the 49ers.

    Hinish, a 6-foot-2, 300-pound nose tackle out of Notre Dame, began preseason well down the depth chart but was on the field with the first-team defense Thursday, per Brooks Kubena of the Houston Chronicle. That was due to Roy Lopez being sidelined with a soft-tissue injury. The rookie has gradually moved up the depth chart and appears in line to claim a roster spot as a backup tackle behind Maliek Collins and Lopez.
