Texans CB Phillip Gaines (knee, shoulder) is out for Week 14 against the Bears.
Things are truly dire at corner now for the Texans, who will be trotting out Vernon Hargreaves and Keion Crossen as their top two vs. Mitch Trubisky. Gaines was questionable after a pair of limited practices, so he will hopefully be able to return for Week 15.
Texans re-signed CB Phillip Gaines to a one-year contract.
Gaines was limited to six appearances after an ankle injury sent him to IR in Week 7. He'll return to compete for a role on the veteran minimum. 28-year-old Gaines has 24 starts across six seasons.
Gaines will undergo surgery on his left ankle and be placed on injured reserve, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Gaines suffered a severe high ankle sprain during Sunday's loss to the Colts, and will face a five-month recovery after undergoing surgery. The 28-year-old joined the Texans on a one-year deal after Week 1 and had 13 tackles (12 solo) and two passes defensed in six games. The team acquired Gareon Conley from the Raiders to bolster their depth at cornerback.
