Texans-Steelers Wild Card: Lassiter Cleared, Jordan Out as Pittsburgh Downgrades Loudermilk

Final injury reports point to Houston's secondary boost facing a nearly full-strength Pittsburgh.

Overview

  • Houston CB Kamari Lassiter was a full participant Saturday and is expected to play after missing Week 18 with ankle and knee issues.
  • Texans RB Jawhar Jordan was ruled out with a high-ankle sprain following tests after the Week 18 win, trimming Houston’s backfield depth.
  • Rookie S Jaylen Reed was designated to return from injured reserve and practiced late in the week, leaving his activation a game-time roster decision.
  • The Steelers reported broad health across the active roster, but DT Isaiahh Loudermilk was downgraded to out Sunday despite his 21-day IR return window opening.
  • Houston ruled CB Ajani Carter out and said QB Davis Mills did not travel with the team for personal reasons and remains listed as questionable.
