Texans visit winless Chargers today at 4:05 PM ET; Los Angeles is 0-7 with injuries.
Houston is 2-5 and Los Angeles is 0-7, with the Chargers having lost their last five games. According to Bolts From The Blue, tight end David Njoku, guard Kayode Awosika and linebacker Denzel Perryman were listed as doubtful, so the group that faced the Rams is expected to be largely unchanged. Special teamer Deane Leonard and safety Kendall Williamson are out, and rookie wideout Brenen Thompson will miss another game with quad and hamstring injuries. The Chargers' offense has been labeled disconnected and sloppy all season.

No. 2 in the 30-second version
Rams listed Matthew Stafford with an elbow injury, and coach Sean McVay says it followed reporters' questions about ice.
After reporters asked about Stafford having ice on his throwing arm following the Rams' win over the Chargers, the team listed him with an elbow injury. McVay told reporters on Friday the designation was more semantic than anything else, and said Stafford has been full go and has not missed reps. ProFootballTalk compares the move to the Patriots' past habit of listing Tom Brady as probable with a right shoulder injury.

Colts have told teams they received a fourth-round pick offer for WR Josh Downs, according to ESPN.
Downs has asked to be traded, and Indianapolis appears likely to grant it, since he is in the final year of his rookie contract and leads the Colts with 330 receiving yards. Keenan Allen, second on the team with 325 receiving yards, could also be moved as Indianapolis looks toward 2027. Stampede Blue, a Colts fan blog, reports citing NFL insider Ari Meirov that Indianapolis has been offered more for nose tackle Grover Stewart than it got for DeForest Buckner.
