Texans edge rusher Will Anderson has been sidelined this month due to an ankle injury, but it seems like the 2023 defensive rookie of the year is progressing well for the September 8 opener against the Colts.
Head coach DeMeco Ryans gave an update on Anderson’s status on Monday. While he didn’t confirm that Anderson would definitely play in the game, he indicated that Anderson is on track to return.
“Yeah, we’ll see where Will is over the next couple of days,” Ryans said, according to Aaron Wilson of KPRC. “Will has been doing really good.”
The Texans added Danielle Hunter this offseason to create a strong defensive duo. If things continue to go well, they will have the chance to see this new partnership in action right from the start.
