Anderson tallied two tackles, including 1.0 sacks, against Las Vegas in a 23-21 Week 16 win Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson's sack came late in the second quarter and resulted in a nine-yard loss. It pushed him up to 11.5 sacks on the campaign, surpassing his previous regular-season career high of 11.0 sacks, which he established last year. Anderson had gone a season-high three games without a sack prior to taking down Geno Smith in the backfield Sunday.

Anderson (chest) does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Chiefs.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson produced a DNP-LP-FP practice log during Week 14 prep and has progressed enough in his recovery from a chest injury to fade an injury tag for Sunday's contest. The third-year pass rusher has accumulated 40 tackles (25 solo), including 10.5 sacks, three pass defenses, three forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries through 12 regular-season games.

Anderson (chest) was limited in practice Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson appeared on the injury report last Thursday with a chest injury. However, it did not seem to impact his snap count in Week 13 versus the Colts. The 24-year-old's limited participation in practice Thursday is a positive sign for his availability in Sunday night's matchup against Kansas City. The third-year pro has 40 tackles (25 solo), three pass breakups and 10.5 sacks in 12 games this season.

Anderson (chest) did not practice Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson popped up on the injury report with the chest injury last Thursday, ahead of the Texans' Week 13 win over the Colts. He still played a normal allotment of snaps and logged four tackles, so there's minimal concern about his availability for a Week 14 matchup against the Chiefs at this point in the week.

Anderson (chest) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Colts.
EDGE Analysis
After missing practice Thursday, Anderson was limited in Friday's session and is good to go for Week 13. Anderson has racked up 36 tackles (23 solo), including 10.5 sacks, three pass breakups, three forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries across 11 starts this season.

Anderson (chest) did not practice Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson was absent from the injury report Wednesday before appearing Thursday with a chest injury, but it is unclear where he sustained it. The defensive end is coming off a dominant performance against the Bills on Thursday Night Football, and his potential absence for Sunday's divisional matchup with the Colts would be a heavy blow to the Texans' defense.

Anderson had six tackles (two for loss), including 2.5 sacks, and defensed one pass in Thursday's 23-16 win over Buffalo in Week 12.
EDGE Analysis
The fingerprints of Houston's defense were all over this win, and Anderson was instrumental. The 2.5 sacks were a season high, gave him at least one sack in six straight games and moved him to 10.5 for the season, marking his second consecutive year with double-digit sacks. Anderson ranks fourth in the league in that category, a half-sack behind his teammate, Danielle Hunter, who recorded 2.0 sacks himself Thursday.

Anderson (ankle) does not carry an injury designation into Thursday's game against the Bills.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, which was good enough for him to shed an injury tag into Thursday night's game. The third-year pro is enjoying a productive 2025 campaign, accumulating 30 tackles (20 solo), including 8.0 sacks, two pass defenses, three forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries (one returned for a touchdown) across 10 regular-season games.

Houston listed Anderson (ankle) as a limited practice participant on Monday's estimated report.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson played a key role during the Texans' 16-13 win over the Titans on Sunday, when he strip sacked Cam Ward and recovered the fumble he caused early in the fourth quarter, leading to a 43-yard field goal from Matt Wright four plays later. Anderson appears to have tweaked his ankle during Sunday's game, and his practice participation over the next two days will indicate his chances of suiting up against the Bills on Thursday.

Anderson had two tackles, including 1.0 sacks, one pass defensed and one forced fumble in Sunday's 36-29 win over the Jaguars in Week 10.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson's sack, which extended his streak in that category to four consecutive games, came on the game's final play. It also forced a fumble that teammate Sheldon Rankins scooped and returned 32 yards for a touchdown. Anderson is up to 7.0 sacks, two forced fumbles and one fumble recovery through nine games.
