Currently, the Texans have two tight ends on their active 53-man roster: veteran Dalton Schultz and Harrison Bryant. Schultz, Houston's second-leading receiving yards leader on the season, was a DNP during their first team practice of the week with a shoulder injury ahead of facing the Broncos, but should still be on track to play.

Schultz leads the Texans with 32 catches and ranks second with 308 yards. The only other tight end on the active roster is Harrison Bryant. Cade Stover is on injured reserve with a broken foot and not back for at least a few more weeks.

The Houston Texans shook up their roster ahead of their Week 9 showdown against the Denver Broncos, including with tight end Dalton Keene.

It's also worth noting that the Broncos’ All-Pro linebacker Dre Greenlaw will return to the fold after missing one game through suspension, so it will be no mean feat for Stroud and Co. to gain positive traction irrespective of Surtain being sidelined.
