Nelson (wrist) is active Sunday against the Titans.

EDGE Analysis

Nelson will suit up as expected and as previously reported by Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston.

Nelson (wrist) is expected to play Sunday against the Titans, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nelson was a late addition to the injury report, which typically doesn't bode well for the player, but Nelson should be good to go for Week 15. The veteran corner's presence should be a boost for the Texans' secondary as they work to secure a win against Tennessee and stay in the AFC playoff hunt.

Nelson is now questionable for Sunday's game against the Titans with a wrist injury.

EDGE Analysis

The starting cornerback has played in all 13 games this season and recorded 51 tackles, nine passes defensed and three interceptions. Since this is a new injury, Nelson's status will be worth monitoring as Sunday's game gets closer.

Nelson (back) is active Sunday against the Bengals.

EDGE Analysis

Nelson was unable to log even a limited practice this week, but he'll take the field Sunday despite that. His ability to suit up should be good news for Houston's secondary.

Nelson (back) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at Cincinnati.

EDGE Analysis

Nelson wasn't able to practice at all during the week, so he's likely on the doubtful end of the official questionable designation. If he can't play Sunday, Ka'dar Hollman could be in line for increased snaps.

Nelson (back) agreed Friday to restructure his contract with the Texans, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nelson's restructure saves Houston roughly $1.1 million in salary cap space, and his new deal includes four voidable years. The starting cornerback is dealing with a back injury, so Friday's official practice report will reveal whether he has an injury designation for Sunday's road matchup against the Bengals.

Nelson (back) didn't practice Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Nelson has started all eight games to this point and played 100 percent of the defensive snaps last Sunday against the Bucs. On the year, the veteran cornerback has 31 tackles (25 solo), five pass breakups and three interceptions. Nelson has a couple more practice days to get out there ahead of Sunday's game versus Cincinnati.

Nelson recorded six tackles (five solo), one interception and one pass breakup in the Texans' Week 6 win over New Orleans Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Nelson is tied for the league lead with three interceptions through six weeks. He's also piled up 24 tackles and five pass breakups after six contests. Nelson has started 105 of the 107 games he's appeared in dating back to 2016 and is off to his hottest start to a season.

Nelson recorded six tackles and an interception in Sunday's 20-13 win over the Saints in Week 3.

EDGE Analysis

Nelson overcame a rough start to the game when he squelched New Orleans' final drive with a red-zone interception on fourth down. It was his third pick of the season. Prior to that, Nelson was part of the coverage that allowed a 34-yard touchdown pass, then was torched for a 51-yard catch by Rashid Shaheed. For the game, Nelson allowed a season-worst 110 yards and 22.0 yards per reception, per Pro Football Focus. Despite the down day, Nelson is tied for 20th in coverage rankings among cornerbacks.

Nelson recorded four tackles and an interception in Sunday's 30-6 win over the Steelers in Week 4.

EDGE Analysis

Nelson's first-quarter interception halted the Steelers' first drive and led to a field goal that increased Houston's lead to 10-0. The interception, his second, is something the cornerback prepared for by watching film, per Brooks Kubena of the Houston Chronicle. Nelson made note of a 72-yard touchdown pass Pittsburgh quarterback Kenny Pickett threw to Calvin Austin in a Week 3 win over the Raiders. When Nelson noticed Austin again lined up on the left side on a second-and-18 play, he sensed the same route was coming. It was, and Nelson broke back and snagged the ball over Austin's reach.
