Amendola did not catch his lone target and played 13 snaps in Sunday's 22-13 win over Tennessee.
Amendola had the fewest number of snaps among Houston's five active wide receivers, which is a significant change. He had been among the top three in terms of playing time and targets prior to the team's bye last week. That suggests the 36-year-old Amendola will play a reduced role over the final weeks of the regular season, while Nico Collins, Chris Conley and Chris Moore receive added playing time.
