Houston Texans Rule Out Four Starters For Week 15

The Houston Texans have been the NFL's worst team thus far in 2022, with an 1-11-1 record through Week 14, and now as they come up against an NFL heavyweight in the Kansas City Chiefs, it looks like any chance of win No. 2 is going to be a very uphill battle.

Unfortunately for Houston, they've had to officially rule out Dameon Pierce, Brandin Cooks, Nico Collins and Derek Stingley, leaving them without arguably their four most talented players in Week 15, but for their chances of getting the No. 1 overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, it's great news.

Texans ruled out RB Dameon Pierce, WR Brandin Cooks, WR Nico Collins and CB Derek Stingley Jr. for Sunday’s game vs. the Chiefs.

If the Texans can nail this upcoming draft, their future is certainly bright, as they've got some very talented players on this roster for years to come, but right now, the next four weeks are going to be just as ugly for Texans fans as the rest of the season has been, with Week 15 potentially the worst of the worst.
