Keke Coutee may be clawing his way out of the dog house. After a good week of practice, the Houston Texans wide receiver may not be a healthy scratch in his third straight week.
“He did a good job. Yeah, he did a good job,” said coach Bill O’Brien on Friday on Coutee’s practice, “it was a good week.”
Before Houston’s Week 10 bye, coaches alluded to Coutee’s lack of attention to detail being a catalyst for his recent inactive status. Since dropping a critical pass in a Week 7 loss to the Indianapolis Colts, the second-year slot specialist has not played a snap.
Coutee has recorded 13 receptions for 154 yards on the year. In 2018, as a rookie, he amassed 28 catches for 287 yards and a touchdown.
The Texans’ coaching staff has not indicated whether or not Coutee will play on Sunday against the Baltimore Ravens. However, with a good week of practice behind him, his chances of doing so are rising.
