Okudah (quadriceps) is active for Monday night's matchup with the Cowboys.
The cornerback suffered the quad injury in Week 1 and missed the next nine games, but he was activated from injured reserve Monday. Okudah should serve as a depth piece at corner against the Cowboys. The 2020 first-round pick played on five special-teams snaps but no defensive snaps in his only appearance this season.

Rotowire
Lassiter (concussion) is inactive for Monday Night Football against the Cowboys.
The cornerback suffered the concussion in Week 10 against the Lions, missed both practice sessions to start the new week and was a limited participant Saturday. Lassiter has 29 tackles (22 solo), eight pass breakups and three interceptions in eight games this season. Ka'dar Hollman might be in line to take his place opposite Derek Stingley in the Houston secondary.
Texans' Nico Collins: No limitations expected Monday
Rotowire
Collins won't be under any restrictions with his snap count Monday against the Cowboys in his return from a five-game absence due to a hamstring injury, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
After he closed Week 11 prep with full practices Friday and Saturday, Collins didn't take a designation into Monday, though it wasn't immediately clear if the Texans would monitor his workload in his first game since Oct. 6. Schefter's report should ease any lingering concerns fantasy managers may have had about activating Collins, who looks in line to immediately settle back in as quarterback C.J. Stroud's top target. Before injuring his hamstring Week 5, Collins had led the NFL with 567 receiving yards.

Texans' Jeff Okudah: Activated Monday
Rotowire
Okudah (quadriceps) was activated from injured reserve Monday.
The 2020 first-round pick from Ohio State has been sidelined since sustaining a quadriceps injury in the Texans' Week 1 win over the Colts. However, he's listed as questionable for Houston's Week 11 matchup against the Cowboys following Monday's activation. Okudah appears to be trending toward returning Monday night, as he practiced in full throughout the week. He'll likely serve as a depth piece in the Texans' secondary while also contributing on special teams if he suits up in Week 11.

Rotowire
The Texans removed Edwards' roster exemption Monday.
The 30-year-old defensive lineman was reinstated from his four-game suspension by the NFL on Nov. 11, and his activation Monday suggests that he'll return for the Texans' Week 11 matchup against the Cowboys. Expect Edwards to serve as one of Houston's top rotational defensive lineman Monday night, having recorded 18 total tackles, including 2.0 sacks, through six appearances this season.
