Texans' Christian Harris: Won't play vs. Jacksonville
Harris (shin) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.
A shin injury prevented Harris from practicing all week, and he will miss Sunday's AFC South tilt as a result. He's mostly worked on special teams this season, but his absence means Jake Hansen and Jamal Hill will serve as the backup outside linebackers for Houston behind E.J. Speed and Henry To'oTo'o.

Harris (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Ravens.
Harris worked in a rotational role at outside linebacker and contributed on special teams through the first four games of the regular season, but the 2022 third-rounder will be a healthy scratch for Sunday's game in Baltimore. Jake Hansen and E.J. Speed should see a slight increase in defensive snaps in Harris' absence.

Texans' Christian Harris: Suits up Saturday
Harris recorded two tackles in Saturday's 26-7 preseason win over the Lions.
Harris has been sidelined sporadically this offseason by a calf injury that has lingered for the better part of the last calendar year. It's hard to trust his ability to stay on the field as a result, but he should rack up tackles as a key player in the middle of Houston's defense so long as he's healthy.

Harris has been dealing with an ankle injury for the past three weeks and didn't play in the regular-season finale versus Tennessee.

Texans' Christian Harris: Questionable vs. Bolts
Harris (ankle) is listed as questionable for Saturday's wild-card round game against the Chargers, DJ Bien-Aime of ESPN.com reports.
Harris was able to end the week with consecutive full practices, so it appears that he is trending toward playing Saturday after being sidelined for the Texans' Week 18 win over the Titans. Unless he suffers a setback, Harris should start at linebacker alongside Azeez Al-Shaair and Henry To'oTo'o while Neville Hewitt, Jake Hansen and Devin White provide rotational depth.
