Two former Bills players might not play for Texans in Week 5 due to injury

No, not Stefon Diggs.

The former All-Pro receiver for the Buffalo Bills (3-1) is slated to play for the Houston Texans in Week 5 when the two teams clash.

However, two others might not. One for sure, the other it’s unknown.

According to the final injury report released by the Texans, ex-longtime Bills pass rusher Jerry Hughes will not play. Hughes is listed as having a hip injury.

Hughes, 36, has played in his hometown Houston since 2022. He departed Buffalo via free agency. Prior to that, Hughes spent 2013 to 2021 with the Bills and was the team’s longest-tenured player by the end.

The other that is on the fence is wide receiver… Robert Woods.

Like Hughes, Woods departed Buffalo via free agency but way back in 2016 after his rookie contract expired. Woods was a second-round pick of the Bills in 2013.

Woods, 32, has a foot injury.

Both players are currently featuring in rotational roles with the Texans and the pair did play in Houston’s last outing.

Woods has faced the Bills twice since leaving Buffalo, meanwhile, this would have been Hughes’ first chance to take on his old team–But he did face the Bills once prior to joining them while with the Indianapolis Colts.
