British Brooks left the game with a knee injury in the first quarter, adding to the Texans' struggles with injuries during the match.

British Brooks has been ruled out for the remainder of the game due to a knee injury.

British Brooks may see increased playing time in today's game against the Vikings due to the absence of Joe Mixon and Dameon Pierce. As an undrafted rookie, this opportunity could be crucial for him to showcase his skills and contribute to the Texans' running game.

British Brooks was fined $4,444 for a hit on Colts kick returner Anthony Gould during the game. Despite this infraction, he was not penalized during the match. The lack of penalties or fines for heavy hits on quarterback Anthony Richardson has raised concerns about the level of protection afforded to him on the field.

British Brooks experienced nerve-wracking anticipation on NFL cut day as he fought to secure a spot on the Texans' roster as an undrafted player. His hard work throughout the offseason, including training with his cousin, paid off when he received no call about being cut, bringing him immense relief. Initially seen as a longshot due to his lack of college stardom, deep competition at his position, and journey through injuries, Brooks embodied a relentless mindset—“just be a dawg.” He earned praise for his performance during the preseason, rushing for 49 yards and scoring two touchdowns while showcasing his versatility on special teams and as a lead blocker. Coach DeMeco Ryans highlighted his dedication, preparation, and toughness as key factors that justified his place on the team. Brooks has come a long way from experiencing self-doubt due to past injuries, demonstrating remarkable resilience and an eagerness to contribute wherever needed on the field.
