The Texans released their inactives list prior to Monday's Week 2 matchup at home against the Buccaneers.

Texans Inactives

Christian Kirk (WR No. 13)

Braxton Berrios (WR No. 17)

Graham Mertz (QB No. 18)

Dameon Pierce (RB No. 31)

Jake Andrews (C No. 60)

Tommy Togiai (DT No. 72)

Notes

The Texans will be without Kirk and Berrios for the second consecutive game to start the season. Berrios will be missed in the return game while Kirk can be a potent weapon in the slot once he returns to health. Both will have to wait at least one more week to make their Texans debuts, and at least two weeks before they get to feature in front of the H-Town faithful.

Mertz remains inactive with C.J. Stroud and Davis Mills ahead of him at the QB position on the depth chart.
