Nelson had an interception and recorded two tackles in Sunday's 25-9 loss to Baltimore.

EDGE Analysis

Nelson thwarted the Ravens' second drive, which reached Houston's 16-yard line before Nelson undercut a Zay Flowers crossing route and picked off Lamar Jackson. It was the 10th career pick for Nelson, and it came during his 100th career NFL game. The nine-year veteran should be a happy camper after the Texans upgraded his contract at the start of training camp with a maximum value of $6.5 million.

Nelson has signed a new contract that increases his maximum compensation from $4.5 million to $6.5 million, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 30-year-old cornerback held out of non-mandatory offseason minicamps but did not miss any training camp time. Nelson played in 15 games last year and recorded 52 tackles, seven passes defended and an interception. The ninth-year pro has started 99 of 113 career games and should continue that trend for the Texans in 2023.

Nelson is attending mandatory minicamp, Aaron Wilson of Click2Houston.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nelson skipped out on OTAs, but any further absences would have left him subject to fines. The veteran corner signed a team-friendly two-year deal with the team prior to last season, and recorded 52 tackles, with seven passes defended and an interception in his first campaign with the Texans. He'll look to build upon that this season while continuing to be a leader on the defensive side of the ball.

Nelson (illness) will be sidelined for the Texans' regular-season finale against the Colts, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nelson has been sidelined all week with an illness and the Texans have opted to err on the side of caution. The next man up at cornerback is expected to be Tremon Smith, who will start opposite Desmond King.

Nelson is questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Colts due to an illness.

EDGE Analysis

Nelson didn't practice during Week 18 prep due to an illness, but he'll still have a chance to suit up Sunday. However, if he's sidelined, Tavierre Thomas, Jacobi Francis and Tremon Smith would be candidates for increased roles opposite Desmond King.

Nelson (foot/knee) is active for Saturday's game against the Titans.

EDGE Analysis

Nelson left the Week 14 game against Dallas early due to an injury, and he subsequently missed last week's contest against the Chiefs. However, he was able to log a trio of full practices this week and will suit up against Tennessee. Nelson will slot back into the starting lineup, pushing Tremon Smith back to a reserve role.

Nelson (foot/knee) was listed as a full participant on the Texans' injury report Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Nelson was sidelined for each practice during Week 15 prep while dealing with a foot/knee injury, which left him sidelined for Sunday's overtime loss to the Chiefs. However, it appears he'll ultimately miss just one game to this issue, as he should be ready to play against Week 15. Nelson has recorded 47 tackles, seven passes defended and an interception over 13 games this season, and he should reprise a starting role Saturday versus Tennessee.

Nelson (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup against Kansas City.

EDGE Analysis

Nelson didn't practice at all during Week 15 prep due to a foot injury that knocked him out of Houston's Week 14 loss to Dallas. Derek Stingley (hamstring) is also out, leaving Tavierre Thomas, Desmond King and Tremon Smith as the top cornerbacks against Patrick Mahomes and Kansas City's high-powered offense.

Nelson (ankle) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Cowboys.

EDGE Analysis

Nelson sustained an apparent ankle injury during the first half of this weekend's matchup versus Dallas, and it's since been revealed that he'll remain sidelined for the rest of the afternoon. With Derek Stingley (hamstring) already having been ruled out for Week 14, Tavierre Thomas, Desmond King and Tremon Smith are slated to operate as Houston's only available cornerbacks for the time being.

Nelson (ankle) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Cowboys, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nelson did not log a statistic before exiting in the first half. The eighth-year cornerback recorded 47 tackles, one sack, seven passes defended and a pick while playing almost every defensive snap over the first 12 games of the season. With Derek Stingley already inactive due to a hamstring injury, Tavierre Thomas, Desmond King and Tremon Smith will serve as the Texans' only available cornerbacks.
