Berrios accumulated six receptions for 37 yards on eight targets and added 81 kickoff-return yards and 25 punt-return yards over four regular-season games.
EDGE Analysis
Berrios was called upon for just 60 offensive snaps and 12 special-teams snaps during the 2025 campaign. The wide receiver was utilized by the Texans as a depth option in the absence of key receivers such as Nico Collins and Jayden Higgins. Berrios enters the offseason as an unrestricted free agent, and it's unclear if the Texans will be interested in bringing him back in 2026.

Berrios (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's Week 13 clash against the Colts.
EDGE Analysis
This is the third straight week that Berrios is inactive as a healthy scratch. He's gotten some work both as a wideout and kick/punt returner when active this season, but rookie Jaylin Noel has been serving in the same role while offering more upside.

Berrios (coach's decision) is inactive for Thursday's matchup against Buffalo.
EDGE Analysis
Berrios will be inactive for a second straight week with the Texans' wideout corps mostly healthy. Since tallying five catches for 38 yards with a 29 percent offensive snap share against San Francisco in Week 8, Berrios had just one offensive snap across two contests prior to the pair of healthy scratches. He had been working as one of the Texans' top kick returners, but that role will likely be filled by Jaylin Noel and Tremon Smith against the Bills.

Berrios (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Titans.
EDGE Analysis
Berrios will observe Sunday's AFC South tilt in street clothes while the Texans go with five active wide receivers in Nico Collins, Jayden Higgins, Christian Kirk, Jaylin Noel and Xavier Hutchinson. Berrios' next opportunity to play is Thursday against Buffalo.

Berrios was untargeted and returned one kickoff for 32 yards in Sunday's 36-29 win over Jacksonville in Week 10.
EDGE Analysis
Berrios, who battled through a chest injury during the preparation for Week 10, was on the field for one snap on offense and five on special teams. The return of injured wideouts like Christian Kirk have marginalized Berrios, who has played just one snap on offense that last two games.

Berrios (chest) was a full practice participant Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Berrios has been dealing with a chest injury since last week and logged a limited practice this Wednesday. However, he was able to return to a full session Thursday, suggesting that he'll be fine for Sunday's clash against Jacksonville. Berrios has worked as both a depth receiver and a kick/punt returner during the three games during which he has been active this season.

Berrios (chest) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.
EDGE Analysis
Berrios was on the injury report ahead of Sunday's game against the Broncos with the same injury. He managed to play after also starting the week with a limited practice, so his ability to play in the Week 10 matchup against the Jaguars doesn't yet appear to be in jeopardy.

Berrios returned two kickoffs for 49 yards and did not appear on offense in Sunday's 18-15 loss to Denver in Week 9.
EDGE Analysis
After recording five catches in Week 8, when Houston was without Nico Collins and Christian Kirk, Berrios was limited to special-teams-duty Sunday due to the return of the team's top two wideouts. If the Texans' season slips away -- they are 3-5 and outside the playoff picture for now -- any offensive role for the veteran Berrios could disappear, as Houston would likely want to give more looks to rookies Jayden Higgins and Jaylin Noel instead.

Berrios (chest) does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Broncos.
EDGE Analysis
Berrios has been given the all-clear to play Week 9 after logging a full practice Friday. He played a meaningful role on offense during the Texans' Week 8 win over the 49ers and finished with five catches on as many targets for 38 yards. However, Berrios will likely be limited to a role on special teams for Week 9 due to the returns of Nico Collins (concussion) and Christian Kirk (hamstring).

Berrios (chest) was a limited participant at Thursday's practice.
EDGE Analysis
That's two consecutive limited practices for Berrios leading up to Week 9 against Denver. He was a significant performer as a fill-in last week during a win over the 49ers, catching five of five targets for 38 yards, but a repeat effort appears unlikely. Even if healthy and ready to go Sunday, Berrios' usage as a receiver is expected to be curtailed. That's because injured wideouts Nico Collins (concussion) and Christian Kirk (hamstring), both of whom practiced fully Thursday, look like they'll be available.
