The Houston Texans decided to place Keke Coutee as one of the seven players inactive against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 12 as a healthy scratch for the first time in his two years in the NFL. Drafted in the fourth round from Texas Tech, Coutee has fallen out of favor after showing promise in his rookie year despite the hamstring injuries that limited him to six games.
Coutee was viewed as one of the young players on the rise for the Texans but started off to a rough start with an ankle injury in the first preseason game that sidelined him for the remainder of the preseason.
