DeAndre Hopkins Dealing With Injuries To Ribs, Don't Expect Him To Play Against Jacksonville

DeAndre Hopkins did not practice all week due to an injury to his ribs and he is questionable heading into a Week 3 matchup with the Jaguars. Details are scarce about the injury and whether there is a fracture involved. The 29-year-old missed practice all week and do not expect him to play against Jacksonville. A rib block injection is an option to manage the pain and we expect Hopkins to be effective if he plays. The game is in Jacksonville, thus if Hopkins travels with the team Saturday afternoon it is a good indication he is playing. The former Texans wide receiver had a combined 10 catches for 137 yards and 3 touchdowns in the first two games.
