News

  • Agrees to contract extension

    Hansen agreed to a one-year contract extension with the Texans on Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

The 27-year-old has tallied 10 tackles (six solo) over eight games while playing sparingly on defense but serving as a key member of the Texans' special-teams units.

  • Good to go for Saturday

    Hansen (ankle) doesn't carry an injury designation into Saturday's wild-card playoff game against the Chargers, DJ Bien-Aime of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Hansen was injured in the Week 18 regular-season finale against the Titans and missed the remainder of the contest. He upgraded from DNP on Tuesday to limited Wednesday and then full Thursday, avoiding a designation altogether. Mainly a special-teams asset, Hansen played just 134 defensive snaps during the regular season.

  • Done for remainder of Week 18

    Hansen (ankle) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's matchup versus Tennessee.

    Analysis: Hansen was deemed questionable to return at the start of the fourth quarter and was ruled out late in the period. He logged two tackles on special teams prior to being hurt. Hansen will now set his sights on trying to recover in time for Houston's wild-card round matchup next weekend.

  • Exits game due to ankle injury

    Hansen (ankle) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Titans.

    Analysis: Hansen injured his ankle in the third quarter of Sunday's game. Neville Hewitt and Devin White should see a slight uptick in defensive snaps for as long as Hansen remains sidelined.

  • Active for SNF

    Hansen (ankle) is active for Sunday Night Football against the Lions.

    Analysis: The middle linebacker was a limited participant in practice Wednesday before missing the last two sessions of the week. Hansen played 18 special-teams snaps in the Texans' Week 9 loss to the Jets. The third-year pro has played on 98 defensive snaps this season.

  • Questionable for Sunday

    Hansen (ankle) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Lions.

    Analysis: Hansen appears to be trending toward not playing in Week 10, as he opened the Texans' week of practice with a limited session but followed that with back-to-back DNPs. If Hansen can't play through his ankle issue Sunday, Jamal Hill will likely serve as Houston's top middle linebacker.

  • Logs limited session Wednesday

    Hansen (ankle) practiced in a limited fashion Wednesday.

    Analysis: It appears the Illinois product picked up an ankle injury in the Texans' Week 9 loss to the Jets, despite playing 18 special-teams snaps. Hansen's participation in practice Thursday and Friday will likely be the best indicator of whether he can play through the pain in Sunday's matchup against the Lions.

  • Logs seven stops vs. Packers

    Hansen recorded seven total tackles (four solo), including one tackle for loss, in Sunday's 24-22 loss to the Packers.

    Analysis: The Illinois product filled in for the injured Henry To'oTo'o (concussion) and played well, finishing third on the Texans in total tackles. Hansen has now played 181 total snaps (67 defensive and 114 on special teams) and recorded 15 total tackles in six appearances this season. He's expected to continue serving as one of the Texans' top backup inside linebackers as the year progresses.

  • No injury designation

    Hansen (back) holds no injury designation for Sunday's game against New England.

    Analysis: Hansen is now active after missing out on last week's win over the Bills. He'll return to the field Sunday but will likely continue to play only on special teams, as he has so far this season.

  • Not practicing yet

    Hansen (back) did not practice Wednesday.

    Analysis: Hansen missed Sunday's win over the Bills with the injury and remains sidelined for the start of Week 6 prep. His absence to start the week casts a shadow of doubt on his ability to return against New England; however, as an exclusive special teams contributor, his potential to sit out wouldn't impact the Texans' defensive game plan.

  • Inactive Sunday

    Hansen (back) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Bills.

    Analysis: Hansen will miss his first game of the season due to a back injury. He's played exclusively on special teams this season, so his absence shouldn't impact Houston's defense.

  • Practices Thursday

    Hansen (hand) was a full participant in practice Thursday after getting in a limited session Wednesday.

    Analysis: The linebacker appears on track to return Sunday after missing three straight games with a broken hand. Hansen has three tackles on 12 defensive snaps in eight games this season.

  • Missing another week

    Hansen (hand) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Jaguars.

    Analysis: Hansen broke his hand in the Texans' Week 9 win over the Buccaneers, and he's now in line to miss his third consecutive game as he continues to recover from that break. Cory Littleton is expected to see more snaps in Houton's linebacker corps with Hansen missing another game.

  • Out for Week 11

    Hansen (hand) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

    Analysis: The second-year linebacker out of Illinois is in line to miss his second consecutive game since breaking his hand during the Texans' Week 9 win over the Buccaneers. With Hansen missing more time, expect Cory Littleton to see an uptick in snaps in Houston's linebacker corps this Sunday.

  • Missing Week 10

    Hansen (hand) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Bengals, DJ Bien-Aime of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: The 25-year-old suffered a broken hand during the Texans' Week 9 win over the Buccaneers, so it's no surprise that he'll be inactive this Sunday. Cory Littleton is expected to see an uptick in work in Houston's linebacker corps with Hansen missing time.

  • Suffers broken hand

    Hansen suffered a broken hand during Houston's win versus the Buccaneers on Sunday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    Analysis: Hansen is slated to go undergo surgery on his broken hand and will likely be out indefinitely. The 25-year-old still has a chance to return at some point later in the season, but for now Cory Littleton should be in line for more playing time in Hansen's absence.

  • Leaves with injury

    Hansen has exited Sunday's game against the Buccaneers with a hand injury.

    Analysis: Hansen is considered questionable to return. His absence will likely have more impact on the team's special teams unit than on defense, although it will thin the depth at linebacker while he is unable to play.
