Seahawks vs. Texans Inactives Tonight: Who is out for NFL Week 7 MNF clash?

The Houston Texans are coming off their bye week. They are aiming to reach .500 for the first time this season when they face the Seattle Seahawks at Lumen Field on Monday.

With 4-2 records, the Hawks were tied with the San Francisco 49ers and LA Rams for first place in the NFC West heading into Week 7. However, they are now third after San Francisco and LA recorded wins on Sunday.

The Texans are the underdogs as Seattle has won four of its last five games following a Week 1 defeat to the 49ers. But they are well-rested and have momentum on their side after defeating the Tennessee Titans and the Baltimore Ravens.

Let's take a look at the players who have been ruled out for both teams ahead of kickoff time.
