The Houston Texans are set to battle the Indianapolis Colts. Interestingly, both teams enter the fray with equal chances as each team is sporting a 9-7 record. This critical encounter, taking place in the final week of the 2023 regular season, holds the key to their playoff aspirations.

A win might potentially clinch the team a postseason spot. Ahead of this high-stakes game, both franchises have unveiled their lists of inactive players. Notably, one team faces a greater challenge as it is burdened by a comparatively substantial injury list.

Injury challenges ahead of Texans vs Colts clash

Tonight’s highly anticipated AFC South clash between the Texans and Colts carries significant playoff implications. However, both teams face roster challenges due to injuries. The Texans recently reported on their official X account about the inactives. They will miss key players including quarterback Case Keenum, wide receiver Noah Brown, and defensive end Jonathan Greenard.

Adding to their concerns, even WR Robert Woods, CB Kris Boyd, and G Nick Broeker are also sidelined for the game. On the other hand, the Colts have also shared through their X account that they are grappling with uncertainties with around five players. They’ve revealed that Defensive tackle Adetomiwa Adebarore, center Jack Anderson, safety Henry Black, cornerback Chris Lammons, and running back Trey Sermon are all listed as inactives.

Both teams will be adapting to these last-minute adjustments. However, one thing which plays a huge role in a game is the weather. It seems like the weather will be further adding more difficulty to the match. Fans might also get affected due to the weather, and hence, many might opt to watch it online.
