Texans News: Rookie Wide Receiver Available For Houston In Playoff Game vs. Indianapolis Colts?

Houston Texans wide receiver Keke Coutee, who has missed the last five games with a hamstring injury, is reportedly expected to play Saturday in a wild-card playoff game against the Indianapolis Colts.

The 21-year-old rookie had been a full participant in practice all week and had practiced over the past two weeks but had been listed as questionable.

Head coach Bill O'Brien on Thursday told reporters that he believed Coutee had "a shot" at playing and expected Coutee's status would be decided Saturday.

Coutee has catches in six games this season and his best performance came in Week 4 on the road against the Colts. He had 11 receptions for 109 yards, both career highs.

The 2018 fourth-round pick had 28 receptions for 287 yards and one touchdown in the regular season. He last played on Nov. 26, when he had two receptions for 14 yards in a home game against the Tennessee Titans.

Coutee could help fill the void of star wide out Demaryius Thomas, who ruptured his Achilles injury on Dec. 23.
