Brooks (hamstring) was placed on injured reserve Friday.
Brooks will miss at least four games. However, the 26-year-old has seen action only on special teams during the 2026 campaign, so his extended absence won't impact the usual day-to-day operations for the Texans offense.

Brooks is one of five running backs that made Houston's 53-man roster after the team placed placed Joe Mixon on the reserve/non-football injury list Tuesday.
Brooks' role will likely come on special teams, but it's still noteworthy that he's part of a backfield mix that suddenly has a potential path to playing time on offense through at least the first four weeks. Brooks would likely need to leapfrog at least one or two of Nick Chubb, Dameon Pierce, Woody Marks and Dare Ogunbowale to play snaps on offense, but none of those players had more than 332 rushing yards at the NFL level in the 2024 regular season.
The RBs priced immediately above and below him.
