Very little news again. Something to watch is the opportunity rookie WR Isaiah Coulter might receive if a WR or two departs via trade. Coulter lands on the active roster while Scharping hits the COVID-19 reserved list.
When Could Newly Activated Rookie Make Texans Debut?

Excerpt: He plays primarily outside wide receiver and showcased plenty of talent at Rhode Island. Often described as raw by draft evaluators, Coulter impressed in limited opportunities against Power Five competition. He’s long and speedy with good body control.
“There’s definitely a chance he can contribute to this team,” wide receiver coach John Perry said. “His development has been outstanding. He’s got a lot of very valuable traits that we can use and utilize when he does get the opportunity.”
While he is active, the numbers game doesn’t favor Coulter being active on gameday just yet. Brandin Cooks, Will Fuller, and Kenny Stills handle the majority of the snaps outside. Randall Cobb has been the primary slot presence all season. Coulter has only recently started to practice with the team too.
A spot could free up for him soon should the team trade one of their veterans. It would allow Coulter to be active but ease into any reps the team had for him on gameday.
