The Houston Texans have a huge game coming up as they are coming off of the bye week. You know what they say: As a head coach, DeMeco Ryans has never lost a game after a bye week. He's also never coached one. But the point is that he is getting extra time to prepare. He will need it, too. Sure, the Panthers haven't won a game yet, but they aren't just an easy win.

The Texans, though, were struck with bad news on their injury report. Wide receiver Robert Woods, defensive tackle Sheldon Rankins, and tight end Brevin Jordan were all listed as out. All three of these guys are key players that the Texans will be missing.

As for the Panthers, they will be without two players in safety Vonn Bell and wide receiver Laviska Shenault. This game should be a win for the Texans as they look to get back over .500 on the year.
