Texans wide receiver Noah Brown has been placed on injured reserve, which will keep him out for at least the next four games. Brown played 68% of Houston's offensive snaps in the season opener, making his absence significant. Rookie Tank Dell is expected to see an increase in playing time in Week 2, as he was fourth among Texans wide receivers in snaps in Week 1. The return of John Metchie from his hamstring injury will also impact the wide receiver rotation.
