Washington (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.
EDGE Analysis
While Washington has been ruled out this week, fellow wideout Cecil Shorts is listed as probable by the Texans, thus putting him a position to start opposite DeAndre Hopkins on Sunday.

Washington (hamstring) did not practice again Thursday, Aaron Wilson the Houston Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
We'll revisit Washington's status Friday, but at this stage he looks pretty iffy for Sunday's game against the Jaguars, while fellow wideout Cecil Shorts seems to be trending in the right direction on that front.

Washington (hamstring) did not practice Wednesday, Aaron Wilson the Houston Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Meanwhile, fellow wideout Cecil Shorts returned to practice Wednesday, which backs up previous reports suggesting that Shorts is closer to a Week 6 return to action than Washington is.

Washington's (hamstring) status remains cloudy, the Houston Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Per coach Bill O'Brien, there is a better chance that fellow wideout Cecil Shorts will return to action next week than Washington. Though we suppose that Washington's Week 6 outlook could look up in the coming days once the Texans resume practice, Friday's report makes such an outcome seem iffy.

Washington (hamstring) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Colts, the Houston Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
The same applies to fellow wideout Cecil Shorts, which sets the stage for the likes of Keith Mumphrey, Chandler Worthy and Jaelen Strong to see added opportunities behind top wideout DeAndre Hopkins in Week 5. For those looking for a direct replacement for either Washington or Shorts, Mumphery (who had four catches this past Sunday) looks like best percentage lineup dart.

Washington (hamstring) was a non-participant at Tuesday's practice.
EDGE Analysis
Cecil Shorts (shoulder) is expected to miss Thursday's game against the Colts, and Washington appears no better than questionable. Rookies Keith Mumphries and Jaelen Strong may be forced into expanded roles alongside NFL target leader DeAndre Hopkins.

Though the Texans didn't conduct a formal practice Monday, if they had, Washington (hamstring) would have been a non-participant, the Houston Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Washington is viewed as day-to-day in advance of Thursday's game against the Colts, which is more than can be said of fellow wideout Cecil Shorts (dislocated left shoulder), who is expected to miss the contest.

Washington (hamstring) is considered day-to-day leading up to Thursday's game against the Colts.
EDGE Analysis
Washington tweaked his hamstring during Sunday's loss to the Falcons, when fellow wideout Cecil Shorts suffered a dislocated shoulder. While Washington's injury is less severe than Shorts', their respective limitations could open snaps for teammates Keith Mumphery and Jaelen Strong in Thursday's divisional contest.

Washington (hamstring) is questionable to return Sunday against the Falcons.
EDGE Analysis
With Washington on the sidelines, Cecil Shorts will be in line for more targets. He hadn't seen a target in the game before making his exit.

Washington caught four of nine targets for 42 yards in Sunday's win over Tampa Bay. He's been targeted 28 times through three games.
EDGE Analysis
Washington's been heavily involved through the first three games, but has yet to find the end zone.
