Texans list Will Anderson, Nico Collins as limited in practice, C.J. Stroud listed as out

Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans said on Monday that quarterback C.J. Stroud remains in the concussion protocol and the team's injury report didn't offer much hope that he'll be cleared in time to play against the Bills on Thursday night.

Stroud was listed as a non-participant in the team's walkthrough. Davis Mills has started the last two games in Stroud's place and will start again if Stroud remains in the protocol this week. Mills was listed as a full participant with a left elbow issue.

Defensive end Will Anderson (ankle), linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair (knee, illness), defensive lineman Denico Autry (knee), right tackle Trent Brown (hand, knee), wide receiver Nico Collins (ankle), right guard Tytus Howard (ankle, knee), safety Jalen Pitre (concussion), and tight end Dalton Schultz (shoulder) were listed as limited participants.

Linebacker Jamal Hill (hamstring) was a non-participant while wide receiver Braxton Berrios (quad), safety Myles Bryant (ankle), kicker Ka'imi Fairbairn (quad), linebacker Jake Hansen (elbow), guard Ed Ingram (knee), and tight end Cade Stover (foot) were all listed as full participants.

After missing two field goals in Sunday's 16-13 loss to the Miami Dolphins in Madrid, Washington Commanders kicker Matt Gay is out of a job. 

The Commanders announced on Monday that they have released Gay. They signed kicker Jake Moody off the Chicago Bears' practice squad shortly after Gay's release, NFL Network reports.

Gay missed a 51-yard attempt in the second quarter against Miami that would have tied the game at 6. He then missed a go-ahead 56-yard attempt with 10 seconds remaining in regulation. 

A made field goal would have given the Commanders a 16-13 lead. Instead, the game went to overtime, and the Dolphins secured a 16-13 win.

Gay is a seven-year NFL veteran and former Pro Bowler with the Rams who won a Super Bowl with Los Angeles after the 2022 season. This season was his first with the Commanders and the worst of his career. 

Gay connected on 13 of 19 field goal attempts for Washington, including a 2-for-4 effort against the Dolphins. His 68.4% success rate was the worst of his career after he posted an 80.5% success rate or better on field goals in each of the previous five seasons. He made 32 out of 34 attempts for a career-high 94.1% success rate during his 2021 Pro Bowl campaign. 

Moody, 25, has completed 76.1% of his field goals in 34 games across three seasons with the 49ers and Bears. 

Sunday's loss was the sixth straight for the Commanders, who dropped to 3-8. They've now played five games without Pro Bowl quarterback Jayden Daniels, due to multiple injuries. They have a bye this week and will host the Denver Broncos in Week 13.
