Texans' Sheldon Rankins: Good to go vs. Indianapolis
Rankins (elbow) does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Colts.
Rankins put together a DNP/LP/FP practice log for Week 18, and the 2016 first-rounder has done enough to be cleared to play in Sunday's regular-season finale. Rankins has played at least 60 percent of the Texans' defensive snaps in 12 of 16 regular-season games and has been a key piece to Houston's interior defensive line.

Texans' Sheldon Rankins: Limited in Thursday's practice
Rankins (elbow) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
Rankins was held out of Wednesday's practice due to an elbow issue, but he was able to return Thursday in a limited capacity. He would likely avoid an injury designation for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Colts if he were to practice in full Friday. Rankins has accumulated 25 tackles (10 solo), including 2.0 sacks, and one fumble recovery in the 11 games since the Texans' Week 6 bye.

Texans' Sheldon Rankins: Dealing with elbow injury
Rankins (elbow) did not participate in Wednesday's practice.
Rankins may have picked up the injury during the Texans' win over the Chargers in Week 17, when he logged 0.5 sacks. The veteran defensive tackle will have two more chances to practice in at least a limited capacity ahead of Sunday's regular-season finale against the Colts.

Texans' Sheldon Rankins: Good to go
Rankins (knee) doesn't have an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Raiders.
Rankins was able to upgrade to a full participant in Friday's practice after being limited Thursday and missing Wednesday. The upgrade in participation was enough to clear the defensive tackle of any injury designation going into Sunday's contest, and he should be set to suit up. With Tim Settle (foot) on IR since Dec. 4, Rankins has joined Will Anderson, Tommy Togiai, and Danielle Hunter as a defensive line starter for the current best defense in the NFL by points per game.

Texans' Sheldon Rankins: Logs limited practice Thursday
Rankins (knee) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
Rankin sat out practice Wednesday, but he's making progress with his knee issue. If the veteran defensive lineman can upgrade to full practice reps Friday, he'll have a solid chance to avoid an injury designation entirely for Sunday's game against the Raiders.

Texans' Sheldon Rankins: Tending to knee injury
Rankins (knee) did not participate at practice Wednesday.
Rankins played a healthy share of defensive snaps (41) in Week 15 versus the Cardinals, but it seems like he might have hurt his knee somewhere along the way. He'll probably have to return to practice Thursday or Friday to have any chance of suiting up in Week 16 versus the Raiders.

Texans' Sheldon Rankins: Set to play Sunday
Rankins (elbow/shoulder) was a full participant in practice Thursday.
Rankins did not practice to open the week Wednesday, but he was a full participant Thursday and is ready to go against the Cardinals in Week 15. The 31-year old has 28 tackles (13 solo), including 2.5 sacks, through 13 games this season. The veteran defensive tackle should handle his usual starting role alongside Mario Edwards on Sunday versus Arizona.
