The Houston Texans announced tight end Jordan Akins will not be making the trip with the team to Nashville for the Week 6 bout with the Tennessee Titans.
As such, the former 2018 third-round pick has been declared out. Akins had been limited in practice for the past two weeks with an ankle injury and a concussion. Akins was not available in Week 5 against the Jacksonville Jaguars, which the Texans won 30-14.
“He made a little progress,” interim coach Romeo Crennel told reporters Friday. “We’ll probably wait until game time to make a determination on him.”
The progress wasn’t enough as Akins misses his second game in a row after having never missed a game through his first two seasons.
Other Texans declared out for the game were running back Buddy Howell (hamstring) and inside linebacker Peter Kalambayi (hamstring).
