With the Houston Texans ruling out wide receiver Keke Coutee because of a hamstring injury, they will need to rely on newly arrived Demaryius Thomas to play a significant role on Sunday against his former team, the Denver Broncos.
Houston announced Saturday that Coutee will not travel to Denver for Sunday's game. Coutee is third on the team in catches (21) and receiving yards (196). The Texans also will be without injured Will Fuller, who is second on the team in receptions (32) and receiving yards (503).
