Heath (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.
EDGE Analysis
Heath will suit up for the first time since Week 6 against the Browns. The second-year pro has yet to play significant defensive snaps, but due to injuries on the Texans' defensive front, he may be in for a high snap count Sunday. However, it's quite possible Houston keeps his snap count low since he only practiced as a limited participant all week.

Heath (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.
EDGE Analysis
Heath was a limited participant in practice this week and appears to be nearing a return after missing three straight games. The 24-year-old will likely be a game-day decision, with Angelo Blackson and Carlos Watkins slated for increased snaps if he cannot play.

Heath (knee) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.
EDGE Analysis
Heath has missed the last three games, but his upgrade to a limited participant bodes well for his chances to play Sunday against the Cardinals. Due to the Texans' injury woes on their defensive front, Heath may slot into the lineup as a starter Sunday. However, he's been removed from the lineup for so long, fantasy owners may want to wait to see what he's worth before picking him up.

Heath (undisclosed) sat out of the first day of camp, Texans Public Relations reports.
EDGE Analysis
Because of the lack of transparency, it's unclear how long Heath will be out. Until this designation is removed, though, he'll be unable to practice. Still, this shouldn't come as a threat to fantasy teams, as his playing time depends on when Jadeveon Clowney and J.J. Watt are injured or just need to catch their breath. Heath finished the 2016 season with eight tackles and two sacks in 12 games.
