The Houston Texans are gearing up for their final regular season game against the Tennessee Titans, with a primary focus on player health as the playoffs approach. Guard Juice Scruggs is set to return after missing three games due to a foot injury, while defensive lineman Denico Autry, guard Shaq Mason, and cornerback Jeff Okudah will be sidelined due to various injuries. Scruggs' return is significant as it allows for potential adjustments in the offensive line, although Mason's absence complicates matters.

Defensive line depth is also a concern with Autry out due to a knee injury, and Okudah's concussion adds strain to the cornerback position. The Texans may need to rely on rookie Derek Stingley and Kamari Lassiter for extended playtime, despite concerns over Lassiter's recent quad injury. With playoff implications minimal for this matchup, the Texans might consider resting their starters during the game.
