The Houston Texans secured the AFC South title for the second consecutive year by defeating the Miami Dolphins 20-12 at home. The victory was bolstered by the Denver Broncos' win over the Indianapolis Colts, ensuring the Texans' playoff spot.

Despite missing key defensive players Jalen Pitre and Azeez Al-Shaair, the Texans' defense excelled, forcing four turnovers against a strong Dolphins offense. Cornerback Derek Stingley Jr. stood out with two interceptions, earning the highest grade among defenders.

The Miami Dolphins' Week 15 injury report revealed a new concern with wide receiver Jaylen Waddle, who is dealing with a hamstring issue after the recent game against the New York Jets. Other notable absences included Terron Armstead and Jordan Poyer, both resting, while Odell Beckham Jr. missed practice for personal reasons.

Meanwhile, the Houston Texans also faced challenges, with starting players Jalen Pitre and Juice Scruggs not practicing due to injuries. Limited participants included Christian Harris and Kenyon Green, returning from IR.

The Tennessee Titans are set to face the Houston Texans in Week 12, but they will be without four players. Running back Tyjae Spears is sidelined due to concussion protocol, while offensive tackle Leroy Watson IV is out with a back injury, leading to Nicholas Petit-Frere starting again.

Cornerback Gabe Jeudy-Lally and tight end David Martin-Robinson are healthy scratches, with Martin-Robinson yet to make his debut this season. The Texans have also ruled out several key players for the matchup.

Will Anderson Jr. of the Houston Texans will miss Sunday night's game against the Detroit Lions due to an ankle injury. His absence marks the first game he won't play this season after a tough injury sustained against the New York Jets.

Wide receiver Tank Dell is questionable with a back injury, while Nico Collins has returned to practice after a hamstring issue but is also listed as questionable. Dameon Pierce will miss another game due to a groin injury, impacting the Texans' backfield options.

Several other Texans players are dealing with injuries, including Folorunso Fatukasi, Jake Hansen, Jerry Hughes, and Jeff Okudah, all of whom are questionable for the game. However, linebackers Azeez Al-Shaair and Jimmie Ward are set to return to action after recovering from their respective injuries.
