Trent Brown, Denico Autry out of practice for Texans

Wide receiver Nico Collins wasn't the only offensive starter out of Texans practice on Thursday.

Right tackle Trent Brown also missed practice for the second straight day. Brown, who played every snap in the team's win over the Steelers, has been sidelined by an ankle injury.

Defensive lineman Denico Autry (knee) and wide receiver Justin Watson (concussion) were also out of practice. They did not practice on Wednesday either.

Linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair (knee), cornerback Kamari Lassiter (ankle, knee), defensive tackle Sheldon Rankins (elbow), offensive lineman Tytus Howard (ankle), offensive guard Ed Ingram (shoulder) and running back Jawhar Jordan (ankle) remained limited participants. Safety Jaylen Reed (knee), long snapper Austin Brinkman (knee), and left tackle Aireontae Ersery (thumb) were full participants.
