Texans' DeAndre Hopkins: Logs limited practice Wednesday

Hopkins (foot) was limited at Wednesday's practice.

Hopkins was limited in practices with the same injury during Week 8, but he ultimately avoided an injury designation heading into the Texans' eventual victory over the Dolphins. It's assumed his limitations to open Week 9 were maintenance-related, so Hopkins should be in store for another high volume of targets Sunday in Denver. The Texans' wideout corps took a hit last week when Will Fuller (knee) suffered a season-ending ACL tear, but the team quickly filled the void by trading for Demaryius Thomas. The move shouldn't impact Hopkins' status as Deshaun Watson's go-to receiver, as Thomas' arrival is more likely to have negative consequences for rookie Keke Coutee and tight ends Ryan Griffin and Jordan Thomas.
